A Portuguese cacao community needed a digital home built from scratch: a flexible event system, e-commerce, and ticket integration, all manageable without developer involvement.

Strategy

1
Events built to vary

Every event had different needs. Visibility conditions became the backbone: if a field is filled, the section appears. If not, it doesn't. Simple for the client, complex to build right.

2
Design from the community

No templates, no Relume. Figma was used to explore the visual language from scratch, grounded in what Coração de Cacau actually is: warmth, connection, ritual, and joy.

3
E-commerce with a workaround

Registration blocked the checkout. Rather than leave a dead end, a dedicated How to Order page kept conversion flowing while Ticket Tailor handled the real business.

Design

1
Warm before a word is read

The visual language was designed to feel like the community itself. Warm tones, generous spacing, and imagery that breathes. A site a visitor feels before they read anything.

2
Motion that belongs

GSAP animations and Lottie files were chosen to add life without distraction. Every interaction reinforces the warmth of the space rather than drawing attention to itself.

3
Built to be managed

20 CMS collections, visibility conditions, and Swiper sliders for event browsing. The client creates, updates, and manages everything independently without touching code.

Results

Co-Founder, Coração de Cacau
I am so grateful for Tiago creating this beautiful portal, where our tribe can feel at home, no matter where they are.

It beautifully carries the spirit of Coração de Cacau, not only as a space for connection and staying updated on upcoming events but also as a gateway to our shop.
Next case:
