Fast Coffee self-service coffee shop
Fast Coffee runs self-serve coffee stations in Ottawa and nearby Canadian cities and also sells a franchise. We built its website on MODX: services for offices and venues, the franchise, lead forms and four languages.
In short
- Client: coffee stations for offices, clinics, gyms and venues, plus a franchise.
- Task: one website for two audiences — companies that need coffee and future franchisees.
- Scope: brief, prototype, design, coding, MODX, content, on-page SEO.
- Live site: fastcoffee.ca, in EN, FR, UA, RU.
Client and task
Fast Coffee installs self-serve coffee stations in offices and venues in Ottawa, Kanata, Nepean, Stittsville and Gatineau. The second business line is a franchise. The site had to serve both audiences without mixing them up.
Companies search for “office coffee” in their city. Franchisees want to see requirements, financing and support.
What we did
- Ran a brief and a competitor review of the Canadian office coffee market.
- Built page prototypes and created a custom design, approved with the client.
- Coded templates in HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript with cross-browser testing.
- Set up hosting, installed MODX and filled the site with content.
- Did on-page SEO.
What the live site has now: sections for offices and venues, menu, locations, franchise (conditions, requirements, financing, support, marketing and training), blog, FAQ, and city pages for Ottawa, Kanata and Gatineau.
Technology
MODX Revolution, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript. On the live site: AjaxForm lead forms, four languages (English, French, Ukrainian, Russian), schema.org Organization markup, GA4.
Result
The case was published in 2025; the site is live and growing, with pages for industries (clinics, car dealerships, gyms) and cities.
