Purpose

Prove the ceiling. The same method as the spa and the plumber, plus one motion pass, and it reads like a premium agency build.

Who it is for

A brand with strong visuals and a product. Not a local service business.

Essential features, and why

  • Product pages with prices as text ($19 to $24 bags), because the choice and cost should be readable.
  • The subscription picker, because customers need to choose coffee, size, grind, and cadence.
  • The roastery page with the founder and her story, because the place and the person give the product its context.
  • The same legal and 404 baseline, because premium presentation still needs the shipping basics.
  • Colour-field scroll, because one controlled motion pass demonstrates the warm visual register.

Add if you want more

  • A real checkout behind the subscription picker.
  • A wired wholesale form.
  • A story page about the roastery.

Get found (SEO and AI search)

  • Product schema that matches the visible prices.
  • Organization schema for the roastery.
  • llms.txt with the coffees, prices, and how to subscribe.

Secure and mobile

  • Reduced motion respected, so the scroll effects switch off when the visitor asks.
  • Still passes the phone check and loads fast.
  • Privacy and terms pages, HTTPS, security headers, custom 404.

What this build teaches

2.5, 3.3: use the design brain and single-variable polish passes to reach the premium tier.
