Blenz Coffee

A new web presence for one of Canada's largest coffee companies.

In 2012, I had the pleasure of designing and developing the new corporate site for Blenz Coffee, one of Canada's largest coffee companies.

Together with a classmate, I pitched for and secured a contract to redesign and develop a new website for Blenz, who had an outdated web presence that didn't reflect their new branding and provided a poor experience for users on mobile devices. This project was the perfect opportunity to put into practice our skills in information architecture, user experience design, user interface design, responsive web development, and usability testing.

We designed and developed the site to utilize a responsive design, which allows the layout to adapt to provide a fantastic experience on any device. We used WordPress to provide an easy-to-use content management system that allowed the Blenz team to quickly add new promotions, blog posts, store locations, and food and drink options to the site. Integrated training materials and simplified management tools in the WordPress back-end also ensured that the site would be easy for Blenz employees to maintain. We also facilitated user tests with members of the Blenz team to make sure the changes we were making to the layout and design made sense and helped improve their ability to navigate the site and find key information.
