Hand-coded. No templates.
Most small businesses use Squarespace or Wix — template sites with recurring fees and limited control. I built the Lotus Café site from scratch instead.
Every line of code written by hand. Deployed on Cloudflare Pages with a custom domain. Still live today.
A café site that matches the quality of the business.
Custom design system, video hero, Toast POS integration for direct online ordering, animated sections, and full mobile optimization. Launched in under a week.
- Custom brand design system — typography, color tokens, layout grid built from scratch
- Toast POS integration enabling direct online ordering without third-party apps
- Video hero section with smooth scroll animations and mobile-first responsive layout
- Deployed on Cloudflare Pages with custom domain and global CDN
Hand-coded. No templates.
No frameworks, no bloat. Clean, organized, hand-written code structured for maintainability and performance. The screenshot below is a sample of the actual JavaScript powering the Lotus Café site.
- Custom JavaScript for sticky nav, mobile menu, tab navigation, and scroll animations
- IntersectionObserver for performant scroll-triggered fade-ins without layout jank
- Clean, organized code structured for readability and maintainability
- Zero JavaScript frameworks — vanilla JS only, keeping load times fast
What these sites actually prove.
Lotus Café went from a weak template site to a fully custom production site in under a week. Still live, still running, and costs the business nothing per month.
Two businesses in Honolulu rely on code I wrote. That's the part that matters most to me about this project.
