I created this project for the Base44 Give It a Glow Challenge. I designed and built a website and booking system for JRP Rice & Rental, replacing the manual process they previously managed through Facebook messages. I first built the platform in Base44, then migrated it to a self-hosted setup to give the business more control over the system.
The website handles bookings, availability, inventory, delivery fee estimates, quotations, agreements, and delivery schedules. It also includes editable pricing, Facebook gallery syncing, and WhatsApp briefings and reminders.
Along with the website, I created a new logo and Facebook cover. The finished platform is mobile-friendly, easy for customers to use, and helps the owners spend less time managing repetitive tasks.
Meet Brick & Blend. We built it in under 5 days with @Base44 for the #base44challenge.
This was our first time using Base44. We weren't sure at first. We've seen a lot of AI builders make websites that work, but all look the same. So we asked ourselves: can it build something that doesn't look like a template?
We decided to make it hard on purpose. A bold brand, an unusual layout, motion everywhere, and a site that works on every screen, from a big desktop to a small phone. If Base44 could handle that, it could handle anything.
It did. And we were surprised by how fast it went.
Brick & Blend is a fully automated booking system for busy restaurants:
Guests choose the date, the time, and even the table they want.
They get a confirmation email right away.
They can look at the menu before they come, so they already know what they want.
The restaurant gets fewer phone calls and no missed bookings. Guests spend less time waiting and more time enjoying the night. Everything, from the booking flow to the emails, runs on Base44.
Five days ago, this was just a design concept. We built the whole thing from scratch, and today it's a live product you can try.
I checked out the website. honestly, I just wanted to reserve my table right away! I love the vibrant atmosphere of it and all the fun process for making the reservation. well done😍💯
good luck!
Little Else, a place to keep track of the records you love and find your next favourite through other people’s collections
build your selection, pick your top 4, log your listens and leave a few words about what stayed with you
I wanted browsing music to feel a bit more like going through someone’s record shelf. artwork first, with small interactions that make you want to keep digging
I bet you’ve NEVER seen button hover effects quite like these. And honestly, this time, I COOKED!
I went into this wanting to build a portfolio website. Somewhere along the way, it became so good that I’m genuinely considering making it my MAIN portfolio.
The scroll. The transitions. The interactions. But especially the button hover effects. Every little detail makes the experience feel alive, and I’ve probably spent more time hovering over these buttons than I’d like to admit.
But this wasn't just about making something that looks good. I wanted to build something that actually works for me.
THE BRANDING: I built the entire experience around my existing Sup* identity, keeping the personality intact while giving it a website that feels distinctly mine. From the visual language to the interactions, I wanted every part of the experience to feel intentional rather than like another template with a name slapped on it.
THE EXPERIENCE: As a designer, I obsess over the little things. The way an element responds when you hover over it. How scrolling feels. How one section transitions into the next. And how all of it comes together into an experience that feels cohesive.
The button interactions were easily one of my favourite parts to work on. But don't just take my word for it. Go try them yourself.
And yes, I designed a mobile-specific menu experience too. Please don't skip that part!
THE AUTOMATION: A portfolio shouldn't just display your work. It should help you get work.
One of my biggest goals was to turn this website into a funnel that brings potential clients directly to my Contra profile. I wanted to make it easier for people to discover my work, get in touch, and take the next step.
So, I built in form automation that delivers incoming submissions straight to my email and the website's admin side. No manually checking submissions across different places. The enquiries come to me, giving me a more direct way to keep track of potential opportunities.
It's a small but meaningful workflow that makes the website more than just a pretty front end.
THE STORY BEHIND THE BUILD - I've always wanted a portfolio website that properly showcases my work, personality, and approach to design. And once I found Contra, I realised I had the perfect opportunity to do more than just build a portfolio.
I could create a funnel that showcases my work and helps bring potential clients directly to my Contra profile.
When the @Base44 x @Contra HQ contest came along, it felt like the perfect excuse to bring that idea to life finally.
And the best part? This was my FIRST time trying @Base44. (Process video in the comments)
I've never had to type so little to get something this good. The recommendations were surprisingly on point, and instead of constantly fighting the tool to get what I had in mind, I could focus on what matters most to me: the experience, the details, and making the final product feel right.
As someone who genuinely enjoys pushing interfaces beyond the expected, that was a pretty exciting experience.
Because building something that looks good is one thing. Building something that looks good, feels good, works behind the scenes, and has an actual purpose? That's where the fun begins.
And Base44 made getting there ridiculously enjoyable.
This one's for the Base44 x Contra contest, and I might've accidentally built my new favourite portfolio in the process.
A couple of things I want you to try:
1. Hover over the buttons. Like Seriously.
2. Experience the mobile-specific menu.
3. Check out the custom favicon. Yes, that's me. 😉
