Tekate and Hessian Coffee

Project Objectives

The objectives for Hessian Coffee’s website included:

1. Establishing a robust online presence that aligns with the brand’s high-quality image.
2. Implementing a user-friendly e-commerce system for product sales.
3. Ensuring the website is responsive and accessible across all devices.

Discovery and Planning

The project commenced with a comprehensive discovery phase. Tekate engaged with Hessian Coffee to thoroughly understand their brand ethos, target market, and specific project requirements. This phase culminated in a detailed project
plan outlining timelines, deliverables, and milestones.

Design and Branding

Tekate emphasised the importance of a strong visual identity. The design team developed several mock-ups, focusing on a sleek and modern aesthetic that resonates with Hessian Coffee’s premium brand. The design process included refining the logo, choosing a colour palette, and selecting typography that reflects the brand’s sophisticated image.

Content and Structure

A content-first strategy was employed, where the website’s structure and layout were designed around its content. Tekate assisted in crafting compelling copy that conveys Hessian Coffee’s story and the unique qualities of their products.
The site architecture was organised to ensure intuitive navigation, allowing users to easily explore product categories, brand information, and customer service details.

Development & Technology

The development phase involved customising a premium WordPress theme and integrating WooCommerce for robust e-commerce functionality. This included setting up product pages, a secure checkout process, and a user-friendly shopping
cart system. The site was built to be fully responsive, ensuring a seamless experience across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.

Secure Managed Hosting

An essential aspect of the project was the provision of secure managed hosting services. Tekate offers this service to ensure the site remains fast, safe, and reliable. Their managed hosting includes regular updates, security monitoring, and performance optimisations. This service is crucial for maintaining the site’s uptime and protecting it against potential security threats.

Quality Control and Launch

Rigorous quality control measures were implemented, including cross-device and cross-browser testing, to ensure the site performed consistently across different platforms. This thorough testing phase was crucial in identifying and rectifying any
issues before the official launch.

Ongoing Support and Optimisation

Post-launch, Tekate provides ongoing support and maintenance, including regular updates and optimisations to ensure the site remains secure, fast, and aligned with Hessian Coffee’s evolving needs. This continued partnership ensures that the website adapts to new trends and technologies, keeping the brand competitive in the digital landscape.
