For every visitor
Accessible first.
The site launched with an accessibility menu: dyslexia-friendly fonts, color-blind modes, adjustable text size and spacing, a reading guide, and high-contrast options.
Client website · Nonprofit coffee shop
A coffee shop website built for everyone.
Esteamed Coffee is a nonprofit coffee shop in downtown Cary that creates jobs for adults with disabilities. We redesigned its website around accessibility and made it easy for the staff to keep current.
The challenge
A site that works for every visitor, and for the staff.
Esteamed Coffee's mission is to lower the unemployment rate for adults with disabilities, which the shop puts at more than 70%. Beyond jobs, it hosts social events for its community and gives artists with disabilities a place to show their work.
The website had to match that mission. It needed to be usable by everyone, whatever their abilities, and simple for the staff to manage: writing blog posts, adjusting program details, updating shop hours, and posting community events without calling a developer.
What we built
An accessible site the shop can run itself.
For the community
Content that stays current.
An events calendar that filters by event type, news updates, menu changes, and a newsletter signup, so the site keeps up with the shop.
For the brand
A warm new look.
A modern redesign with clean layouts and imagery that reflects the mission, built to read well on phones, tablets, and desktops.
The details
Small things that make it easier to visit.
- Nutrition answers. At launch, an AI assistant answered questions about any drink, including milk substitutions, with calorie and ingredient details.
- Staff-managed content. The site was built so the team can update blog posts, program details, shop hours, and events themselves.
- Support after launch. The project included a break-in period after launch at no extra cost.
- Local. Esteamed Coffee is in downtown Cary, the town we work from. Its mission and its place in the community made this an honor to work on.
This is the kind of project our custom websites practice takes on for nonprofits and small businesses across the Triangle.
