Second Cup Coffee's short-term strategic goal was to introduce a fresh new design for www.secondcup.com that would feature seasonal products and offerings. The platform that the site was built upon needed to be API-first to support their long-term goals.
The near-term goal was to establish deeper integrations across Second Cup's digital ecosystem including their mobile app, store POS systems, marketing technology and CRM.

Platform the website using an API-first CMS.
Establish a componentized and reusable design system.
