WHAT IT WAS

A site that matched a world champion’s standing.

World Barista Champion Pete Licata needed a website that matched his standing in the specialty-coffee world. The previous site was a basic brochure that didn’t reflect his profile or accommodate product sales. We rebuilt it from the ground up and added a full e-commerce layer for his coffee line.

We built a platform that could carry both sides of the business — the consulting practice and the product drops — including booking integration for international consulting clients, custom product photography, and a content-management setup his team could maintain independently.

The limited-edition Zoya release, tied to a personal milestone, was the forcing function: a hard release date in front of a specialty-coffee audience that has high standards for everything, the purchase experience included.

WHAT WE BUILT

  • Full website redesign and rebuild.
  • E-commerce platform for product launches and ongoing sales.
  • Booking integration for international consulting clients.
  • Custom product photography.

PLATE 01

A limited-edition release as the forcing function.

The Zoya launch — a limited-edition coffee tied to a personal milestone — gave the rebuild a hard date and an audience that judges the purchase experience as closely as the coffee.

WHERE THIS STARTS

Book the Architecture Sprint

Pete needed a platform that could carry both his consulting and his product line, built to run after we handed it back. The Sprint is how we figure out which system that is for you — before anyone spends a dollar building it.
