Website Rebuild
End-to-end rebuild of an 8-location restaurant chain's website following brand acquisition.
Context
Newport Creamery (est. 1928, 8 locations across Rhode Island and Massachusetts) was acquired in March 2026. The existing site lived on Wix and needed to move to a modern stack with room for features the brand never had, including a community poll launched on acquisition day, gradual Toast ordering rollout, and future e-commerce.
What I built
- ·Custom Next.js 14 site replacing Wix, with smooth page transitions and a fresh visual identity
- ·Community poll feature capitalizing on acquisition press coverage
- ·Coordinated domain migration, Office 365 email setup, and staged platform cutover
