Client Overview

 

Kensam Coffee is a premium coffee brand that sources high-quality coffee beans from the lush, fertile highlands of Kenya. Known for its rich flavor and sustainable farming practices, Kensam Coffee wanted a website that would reflect its commitment to excellence, while also creating a platform for selling its products online and educating consumers about the coffee-making process.

 

Project Scope

 

Kensam Coffee partnered with Venda Technologies to design and develop a sleek, modern e-commerce website that would serve as a showcase for their coffee products. The website needed to tell the brand’s story, highlight their unique selling points, and provide a seamless shopping experience for customers.

 

Challenges

 

  • Brand Storytelling: The website had to effectively communicate the essence of Kensam Coffee, from their farming practices to their high-quality beans, in a way that resonated with coffee enthusiasts and casual consumers alike.
  • E-Commerce Integration: The site needed to incorporate a user-friendly e-commerce system that allowed for easy product browsing, secure checkout, and inventory management.
  • Educational Content: The client wanted to provide educational content about coffee brewing techniques and the origin of their beans, creating a platform that not only sold coffee but also engaged customers.

Design Process

 

1. Discovery & Research
Our initial phase included deep discussions with the Kensam Coffee team to understand their brand values and the message they wanted to convey through the website. We also reviewed competitors and leading coffee brands globally to understand industry best practices for e-commerce and storytelling.

2. Design & User Experience
We crafted a visually stunning website with a modern yet earthy design that represented Kensam Coffee’s natural and high-quality products. Key design features included:

  • Homepage Design: A welcoming hero image of the lush coffee fields, combined with bold text emphasizing their commitment to sustainable coffee farming and premium quality.
  • Product Pages: Each coffee product had its dedicated page with high-resolution images, detailed descriptions, and flavor profiles, helping consumers make informed choices.
  • Storytelling Elements: We incorporated sections that told the brand’s story, including the origin of their beans, the farmers they work with, and the process that makes Kensam Coffee unique.

 

3. E-Commerce Integration


We implemented an easy-to-navigate e-commerce platform that included:

  • Product Catalog: Clean and straightforward product pages with the option to filter by bean type, roast level, and price.
  • Shopping Cart & Secure Checkout: A seamless shopping experience, from adding items to the cart to a secure and fast checkout process.
  • Subscription Model: We integrated a subscription option for customers to have coffee delivered to their door on a regular basis, enhancing customer retention.

4. Content Strategy
In addition to the product catalog, the website featured a blog section where Kensam Coffee could share educational content, such as coffee brewing tips, recipes, and stories from the farms. This content was optimized for search engines, improving the website’s visibility and drawing in organic traffic.

5. Development & Testing
The website was developed with a focus on speed, mobile responsiveness, and security. We ensured it worked smoothly on all devices and tested the e-commerce platform for glitches to ensure a hassle-free shopping experience for users.

  • Enhanced Brand Identity: The new website effectively communicates Kensam Coffee’s premium brand, showcasing the quality of their products and the story behind their beans.
  • E-Commerce Success: The e-commerce platform has led to an increase in online sales, with customers praising the ease of use and intuitive shopping experience.
