China Tea House

About the project

Mobile ordering app and website for China Tea House

A responsive website for China Tea House, built mobile-first with semantic markup, accessible navigation and on-page SEO foundations: unique page titles, meta descriptions, structured headings and fast-loading images. A custom application for China Tea House, built around their own workflow rather than bending an off-the-shelf product to fit, with a user interface designed for the people who use it daily. Designed for phones first, with touch-sized controls, layouts that work one-handed and screens that stay usable on a slow connection.

React powers the interactive interface, built from reusable components. React Native delivers one codebase for both iOS and Android. Expo handles native builds, over-the-air updates and app store submission. Next.js provides server rendering and static generation, which keeps pages fast to load and easy for search engines to crawl. MongoDB stores the application data. Stripe handles card payments securely. Square handles payments. TypeScript adds type safety across the codebase. It is deployed on Netlify, with automatic builds from Git and a global CDN.

Technology used: React, React Native, Expo, Next.js, MongoDB, Stripe, Square, Typescript, JavaScript, Sass, Netlify. My role on the project was Technical & Development Lead.
