Intelligentsia Shopify case study
A complete Shopify build for Intelligentsia. SDG delivered the site as part of a three-brand move from Magento, with a distinct storefront for Intelligentsia’s coffees, brewing culture, and brand identity.
A distinct identity in specialty coffee
Intelligentsia’s online store brings together single-origin coffees, espresso, blends, and the knowledge that helps customers brew them. The experience needs to serve an enthusiast exploring an origin and a returning customer looking for a familiar coffee.
SDG built the entire Intelligentsia Shopify site. The engagement was part of a broader program delivering separate storefronts for Peet’s Coffee, Stumptown Coffee, and Intelligentsia.
From Magento to a dedicated Shopify storefront
Intelligentsia moved from Magento to Shopify as part of that three-brand program. Each brand received its own site, preserving a distinct assortment and presentation within the wider engagement.
For Intelligentsia, the storefront connects coffee selection with product information and brewing education. Customers can explore the assortment, learn about a coffee, and choose how to bring it into their routine.
A complete build within a broader program
SDG delivered the full Intelligentsia site build on Shopify. The work demonstrates how a multi-brand commerce program can give each business its own customer-facing experience.
