The Almanack
An animated restaurant site with a visual site editor (drag, draft and publish with live preview), loyalty and digital gift cards.
A polished, animated React site for a British pub and dining venue in Kenilworth, backed by a custom PHP admin system with its own visual editor.
The front of house is an animated React single-page app built with GSAP and smooth scrolling. Behind it sits a custom PHP backend with a visual site editor: the owner can edit the content and menus, reorder sections, show or hide them, save a draft and publish it live, all alongside a live preview of the page. It also handles login, media and PDF uploads, an in-house loyalty programme, digital gift cards, and a QR-code redemption scanner. Designed, built and deployed to shared hosting for a real venue.
Full-stack, built solo as a web developer at The Herd Agency.
