Recent Work
Rockwell Coffee Company
Decatur, Illinois
From the get-go, 1981 Digital was collaborating closely with Rockwell Coffee Company. We’ve had the opportunity to be involved as the McKinneys turned their vision into a reality so that they could have the highest quality offerings for their grand opening!
In addition to featuring our brand work, the Rockwell website was built with a custom integration with Square and WordPress and features an interactive event calendar and social media feed so you can always know where their team will turn up next to pick up one of their delicious coffee concoctions!
