The problem

Customers kept finding outdated photos and old menus scattered across the web, which created real confusion about what the shop actually serves. The store needed one source of truth it controlled.

What I built

A Next.js, React, and Framer Motion site designed and built end to end with agentic development workflows: a homepage with hero, auto-scrolling photos, an about section, and a catering call to action, a full daily menu page with search, and a catering page with packages and pricing. Every order button routes to ChowNow, and the whole thing is mobile responsive on Vercel.

Why it matters

It is my first paid freelance project after seven years of doing free digital work for the shop (menus, graphics, QR codes, all of it), and the first time the family business has a website it controls and that stays current. It shipped in May 2026, and the build itself became a proof point for the Chiggy AI model: agentic workflows, fast turnaround, no monthly hosting fees.
