The brief

Savage Coffees grows and processes Geisha on family farms in Panama and roasts to order in St. Petersburg. The old Shopify theme (t/15) did not match that story. Homepage titles were thin, several key pages had empty H1s, and Lighthouse homepage performance sat at 34 on both mobile and desktop with LCP around 10 seconds. First time buyers had to dig through dense collection grids to find a bag. The job was a full custom theme rebuild on the same Shopify store: luxury presentation, a real hero video, and clear paths to shop, membership, wholesale, and the cafe.

The outcome

We shipped a custom Shopify theme (t/18) with a looping desktop and mobile hero video, floating nav, and a homepage built around how people actually buy specialty coffee. Help me choose and Find your flavor guide first time buyers. Membership, wholesale, cafe/location, seed to cup, and founder story each get their own clear surface. Titles and H1s were rewritten across key pages (homepage title moved from SAVAGE COFFEES to Panama Geisha Coffee | Savage Coffees). On Lighthouse 12.2.1, homepage performance moved from 34 to 80 desktop and 34 to 56 mobile. Accessibility moved from 89 to 96 on both. SEO stayed at 100. Desktop LCP dropped from 9.5 s to about 2.2 s.
