Aromas Coffeehouse

Aromas Coffeehouse

We recently partnered with our good friends at SecretPenguin to bring you a website created specifically for Aromas Coffeehouse.

The look and feel is inspired by the low-lit European-style atmosphere of the coffeehouse. To capture the personality of the owner and staff, friendly and witty headlines cycle through on the homepage. These greetings focus on unique qualities of Aromas.

The site has a blog, events calendar and other useful information for a coffeehouse.

One feature that we find particularity fun is the Open Tables counter. This allows coffee drinkers to check table availability online before coming to the coffeehouse. We have been assured, this will be very handy during finals week.

To pull it off, we created a very simple iPhone web app controlled by the barista behind the counter. A couple quick swipes and clicks, the whole world knows how many tables are open at Aromas.

Take a look: AromasOmaha.com

Woooooohoooo!

  2. Yeah, I checked out the site when NE Creative blogged it this weekend. It looks great, and really puts you in the mood for a tall cup the dark lady. I was wondering how the table counter worked, so thanks for shedding some light on that bit.

    Cheers!

  4. love this site. simple and beautiful. a couple of quick things (and maybe i’m just blind) but when i first opened the site i immediately wanted to go there (good job on your part!) but i had to dig clear over into the contact link to find the location. splash across the front page ;) or not. just a suggestion. and the other problem i had is that the text (like in the about section was TINY (hehe). seriously. couldn’t read it. and i have a 20″ monitor. change it leave it whatever. keep on rocking. i like your vibe.

  5. Thanks for the kind words and the tips. We always try to make all our sites both pretty and usable. We are making a few changes to make it a little easier to use :)
