For those that are not aware, my wife and I started a new business up this past spring, LuvaCup Gourmet Coffee Service. As the name suggests, it is an office coffee service which provides high quality espresso based coffee beverages to offices around the Winnipeg area.
Why did we get involved in another business? We both have a passion for exceptional coffee, and the quality of the beverages that the Barista Supremo machine creates are better than I have had in any coffee house around.
Because Joanne wasn't paying me huge heaps of money, I have been putting off developing a website for the company, but in the past couple of days I have finally developed luvacup.ca!
It is not the most feature rich site, nor is it very flashy, but I am kinda proud of it for a few reasons...
1. From start to finish it took me three or four days, but if I were to calculate the time spent exclusively on this site, it was more likely about 8 hours. Back in the old days it would not have been possible for me to roll a site out that quick, but thanks to Drupal, I can!
2. This was my first drupal site which I employed the Zen Theme Framework on, and I was extremely happy how it sped things up, but also how it allowed me to quickly port a theme into the Drupal system, while taking advantage of all of the benefits of being a Drupal site.
3. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out, and the compliments I have received thus far have been overwhelmingly positive. Granted most of these have come from people related to me, but all in all it is a pretty good looking and functional site.
4. My wife is happy!
The bottom line is if you are looking to roll out a feature rich website in a short amount of time, Drupal and the Zen theme framework can help you get the job done quickly. If you or someone you know wants a high quality espresso based coffee machine in their office in Winnipeg, give us a call!
Have a look at the site and let us know what you think!
