From a generic Wix template to a website that feels like the café.

The Disconnect

The website didn't feel like the business.

Dark Alchemy Coffee already had a distinct atmosphere, an established visual identity, and a real community around the café. But its Wix website told a different story.

The site relied on generic template content, unrelated stock imagery, placeholder copy, and navigation that was clipped on desktop. The menu and ordering experience also felt disconnected from the personality of the café.

The problem wasn't the business or its brand. The website simply wasn't communicating what was already there.

The Strategy

Bring the real café experience online.

The goal was not to reinvent Dark Alchemy. It was to translate the existing brand into a clearer and more useful digital experience.

The website needed to foreground the café's craft, atmosphere, personality, and community while giving customers a direct path from discovering the business to exploring the menu and placing an order.

The Redesign

Designed around how customers actually use the site.

The website was rebuilt inside Square Online so the brand experience and ordering system could work together.

The new structure created clearer paths through the homepage, menu, About content, contact information, and online ordering. Existing brand assets and approved photography replaced generic template content, while menu categories, product details, pricing, and available options were organized into a more understandable customer journey.

The Outcome

A more cohesive presence and a clearer path to ordering.

Dark Alchemy moved from a generic, disconnected Wix experience to a Square Online website built around the real character and daily needs of the café.

The result is a more cohesive digital presence, a clearer ordering journey for customers, and a website the owner can update without depending on a developer for everyday changes.
