Pho Phi Louisville

Background

My uncle owns a Pho restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky called Pho Phi. He wanted a website for his restaurant with basic info as well as job postings and asked me to build one for him. I built and hosted the site using free services and handed it off to him to manage the content.

The site has around 1000 monthly active users.

Tech Stack

• Gatsby

  • Tailwind CSS was used to style the site. This was my first time using Tailwind and although it took me a while to figure it out, it turned out to be a good experience and I learned a lot from using it.
