Things look a little different ‘round here

If you’re a regular to the site or the blog you’ll notice that things have changed. We’ve just launched an all new, re-built-from-the-ground-up website. We’re quite thrilled that it’s finally here and we sincerely hope that it greatly improves your online experience, whether you’re buying coffee or equipment online, or looking to learn more about coffee.

Here’s just a few of the new features on the new site:

• one-page checkout

• customer login - create an account and never have to input your address or other details again

• ability to re-order based on your order history

• coupon codes! We have lots of ideas about how to make awesome use of these. Let’s just say it might be beneficial to follow @transcendcoffee on the twitter or subscribe to our newsletter.

• education section - there’s now one page where all the podcasts live, plus you can purchase and sign up for courses online. We’ll be expanding our course offerings and online education soon.

• integrated blog - our blog is now right on our website - no more navigating to a different url. But, you use a feed reader, you do need to re-subscribe.

• twitter sidebar - see what people are saying about Transcend Coffee

• and seriously lots and lots of other features. Too many to list.

I really feel like we have a world-class website. We have one of the best ecommerce systems available anywhere, with a clean, custom design.

I’d like togive a huge shout out to our developer, Chris Martyniuk, for putting in a crazy, insane, over-the-top, way-more-than-expected effort. He made two very different systems (Joomla and Interspire) talk to each other seamlessly and built an incredible site loaded with tools on the back end that will make my job as a marketer much easier. If you have a web project or need some custom software developed, seriously talk to Chris, he can handle it.

The lovely layout design for the site was done by the talented, friendly and always charming Woodward Design. The Woodwardians have been working on our new packaging and other marketing collateral soon to be making their debut.

Please let us know what you think of the site, good or bad, we want to know. You can comment here or send us an email.
