Over the past few weeks I've been building an unofficial guide to the Black Rock Coffee Bar menu, and I wanted to share what it looks like and how it came together.</p> <p>The idea was simple: Black Rock has 70+ drinks across Fuel energy drinks, coffee and espresso, chillers, matcha, tea, and food — but no single page lists them all with prices. So I built <a href="https://blackrockcoffeemenu.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Black Rock Coffee Menu</a>, a free guide with every drink, typical US prices, and honest estimates where the official numbers aren't published.</p> <p>A few things in the build:</p> <ul> <li> <strong>WordPress + Kadence</strong> — 20+ pages, one per category, with price tables on each.</li> <li> <strong>A calorie calculator</strong> for the 30+ most popular drinks, plus a popup for every drink with price, calories, and caffeine.</li> <li> <strong>The Fuel section</strong> was the hardest part — 20 energy drink flavors with sizes and prices. The full Fuel energy drinks menu with prices took the longest to verify.</li> <li>I also ranked the best Black Rock drinks based on the flavors people actually order.</li> </ul> <p>Everything is labeled clearly as an unofficial guide — prices are typical US ranges, not official, and the nutrition numbers are estimates. The site is a work in progress: I'm adding new seasonal drinks as they appear.</p> <p>If you've ever built a content site on WordPress, I'd love to hear how you handle price updates — that's the part that goes stale fastest. What do you use to keep data fresh?</p> showdev wordpress webdev beginners
