Custom E-Commerce Site built with Sanity backend and Astro frontend. Site was originally built in WordPress using a custom theme and plugin that I developed but back in June I did a 1:1 migration and rebuilt the exact same design using Sanity for backend to replace WordPress dashboard and Astro/CloudFlare Pages replaced the dedicated VM on google cloud.

I gave myself one goal: build a hospitality website I hadn't seen 50 times before.
This became Khattar.
A dark, atmospheric sanctuary experience built around one idea: the interface should get out of the way and let the place create the emotion.
So I experimented with oversized imagery, restrained typography, dark/light modes and a responsive system that carries the same feeling from desktop → tablet → mobile.
And yes — I built the actual thing too.
I'm going to be doing a lot more of these: original websites, experiments and redesigns of websites I think could be much better.
