The situation
Mickey Herring is a skilled taxidermist whose business deserved better than word of mouth alone. He wanted something online for the shop, so I offered to build it. What started as a course project became the home of his business on the web.
The process
1
Started
Built the first version as a plain HTML and CSS course project at Midlands Technical College in Columbia, SC.
2
Rebuilt
Moved it to React, then to Next.js with Tailwind as my skills grew.
3
Refined
Kept improving it over time. A site that gets better instead of going stale.
What changed
The site went from a plain HTML class project to a full Next.js build with a price list, gallery, and reviews, rebuilt twice and improved continuously along the way.
