01The Challenge
Café owners are passionate about their product but rarely have the budget or technical knowledge to demand better from their digital presence. The result is a sea of identical WordPress sites — slow, unresponsive, and impossible to update. We wanted to show that a better option exists, at a price point that makes sense for an independent business.
02Our Solution
We designed and built Stilla from scratch using a modern stack that prioritises speed, simplicity, and real business utility. The result is a site that looks premium, loads fast on any device, and gives a café owner tools that actually move the needle — online orders, reservations, and a menu they can update without touching code.
What we built
Digital menu with categories, dietary filters, and card-flip product details
Online pre-ordering with Stripe payments and QR code redemption for staff
Reservation form with date, time, and guest selection
Today at Stilla — dynamic daily specials board updated in real time
Vegan and allergen filter with instant product filtering
Mobile-first design with video hero, scroll animations, and offline-friendly performance
Stilla — meaning "still" or "calm" in Swedish — is a fictional Scandinavian café brand created entirely by KERNEL | STUDIO as a portfolio demonstration. The project was built to answer a specific question: what would a premium café website look like if it were designed with the same care as the café itself? The result is a full-stack web application featuring online pre-ordering with Stripe payments, a QR code redemption system, a dynamic menu with dietary filters, scroll-driven animations, and a mobile-first design system built from scratch — no templates, no plugins, no compromises.
