Darnholt. For places people walk into before they order

Darnholt is the template for a roastery, a workshop or a shop floor, for anywhere the place carries the business and the product brings people back. Paper coloured ground with a real crease texture, a single signal colour, heavy capitals and eighteen pages that answer both questions: is it open now, and why here of all places.

The story

A place does not sell on atmosphere, it sells on precision

Read the full story

Hospitality websites almost all look the same, and the reason is always the same: they claim an atmosphere instead of explaining something. Cosy, made with passion, from the finest ingredients. Anyone writing like that has not looked for the number.

Darnholt is the opposite. Twelve kilos per batch. Eighteen hours at four degrees. Forty eight seats, power sockets at eight of them. Every service carries two hard facts, and in three places it says what does not work.

On top of that comes the part no competitor can copy: the craft. Roastery and origin are two pages of their own, with a roast curve, a harvest calendar and purchase prices in the open. They answer the question behind the question, which is why here of all places.

And the first screen answers the simplest question of all before anyone scrolls: the day bar works out the opening status in real time and names the nearest house.

Scroll through the homepage

The Darnholt homepage travels as you scroll. Each stop explains why a section is built the way it is.

darnholt.de
Full homepage of the Darnholt template
  1. 01

    The opening is a stack of words

    Four lines of capitals in Archivo, line height 0.84, the last three only an echo and hidden from screen readers. No text sits on a photograph. The image stands next to it, never behind it.

  2. 02

    The day bar works with the clock

    Which house is open now, what is in the drum today and when the next course runs. The opening status comes from a weekly plan in minutes, not from a line of text somebody has to maintain.

  3. 03

    The roast scale is the centrepiece

    Five marks from light to dark on a colour band, a pointer, and for each mark a temperature and a sentence about what changes in the cup. A technical term becomes an experience that takes three seconds.

  4. 04

    Nine sections are drawn, not photographed

    Roast curve, profile bars, timeline, harvest calendar, week bars, coffee belt and grind settings are HTML and SVG. They stay sharp, they can be checked for contrast and translated, and they weigh nothing.

  5. 05

    The closing line replaces the call to action tile

    Above the footer every page carries one large editorial line that is itself the link, with a circled arrow and three side routes below it. Exactly one closing call per page, never two.

The signature feature

Light roast is on every second bag and says nothing

The roast scale turns a technical term into an experience. Five marks on a colour band, a pointer, and for each mark a temperature and a sentence about what changes in the cup. It solves an industry problem, not a design problem.

  1. Five marks, one data array

    Each level is one entry with a position in percent, a colour, a temperature and a text. A sixth level is a line, not a rebuild.

  2. Operated, not decorative

    The pointer moves, the colour changes, title and reading change with it, and aria-pressed moves along. All of it without reloading and without a third party package.

  3. Transferable to any niche

    A scale for sweetness in a patisserie, for ripeness in a dairy, for bitterness in a brewery. The component stays, only the table changes.

  4. No image, no weight

    Colour band, pointer and marks are HTML and CSS. Sharp on every screen, checkable for contrast, translatable without a new export.

Who Darnholt is built for

A template gets good by making choices. Darnholt is tailored to one niche, and honest about where it does not fit.

Built for

  1. Roasteries, breweries, dairies and any workshop that makes its own product and has to explain the difference
  2. Cafés, bakeries and shops with several locations, where the place and the opening hours are the first question
  3. Businesses with a subscription or a standing delivery that have to present a quantity, an interval and a price
  4. Trades that want to put their origins and their prices in the open instead of claiming sustainability

Not meant for

  • Pure online shops with no premises. Cafés, directions, opening hours and courses are four of nine main pages, and there is no checkout. A shop template with categories, variants and a payment route is the better choice.
  • Chains with many locations. The list of houses is built for a handful, each with its own story. From about eight locations you need a search with a map and filters.
  • Businesses without their own craft. Roastery and origin carry a third of the content. If you buy in and only serve, you are better off deleting those two pages than filling them.
  • Dark, elegant presences. Darnholt is paper bright with a warm brown. If you are after a night time mood, Teeshot has it.

Quick answers

If you make your own product and have a place, yes. The roast scale becomes a ripeness scale or a sweetness scale, the roast curve becomes your production sequence, the harvest calendar becomes your season. All three come from an array in their data file, not from the markup.

Not directly. The basket counts in the browser, there is no checkout. That is deliberate: a till system brings a payment provider, a right of withdrawal, terms and shipping costs with it. If you want to sell, connect an existing shop and link to it from the menu and the subscription page.

No, and that is on purpose. Both pages are empty and carry noindex. They contain a list of what belongs there but no pre written legal text. A supplied text would be wrong for most businesses, and faulty provider details are actionable.

Both are covered. The menu states explicitly that the full allergen declaration is at the counter and that the website does not replace it. The copywriting skill carries the limits of the health claims regulation in a table of what is forbidden and what works instead.

The German version uses the formal address throughout, including form help, error messages and the consent dialogue. The English version reads plainly and directly. The copywriting skill names the place where the address lives and the rule that it is always changed everywhere at once.

None to start with. Fifty three motifs are included, each with photographer, profile, source and an uncropped original outside the web root. Nine sections are drawn anyway and never need a photograph.

No, all invented, and the site says so itself. Every page states in the footer that the company name, addresses, prices, figures and voices are examples. The street names do not exist in Hamburg or Bremen, and the phone number comes from the range reserved for fiction.

Nothing as delivered. Fonts and images sit locally, no audience measurement is built in, and the route map is only created after explicit consent. Before that there is a blocked panel with the address.

Built statically, the entire script is under five kilobytes compressed, no image is over 200 kilobytes, and every image carries its dimensions and a blurred placeholder. Nothing jumps while loading.

There are three places that have to say the same thing: the weekly plan in minutes that drives the status and the structured data, the plain text list for display, and the line in the footer. The quality assurance skill lists all three with file and field name.

Yes, bought once and yours forever, for your own projects and for client projects, with no subscription and no attribution. What is not allowed is reselling the template as a template.

Yes, as a version of its own: a fully German website, not an English one with a German manual. Numbers and prices carry the German notation there, and the language hangs on a single place in the code.
