They wanted something that felt familiar to users while handling the complexity of quote requests and inventory management behind the scenes. The solution is a shopping experience for rentals.
Built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS on the frontend, powered by Strapi on the backend. The key was making rental requests feel as natural as online shopping. Users browse party supplies, add items to their quote, and submit requests, all without the friction typical rental sites create.
Performance was critical. Image optimization transformed load times from 2+ seconds to under 500ms. When you're competing for attention online, every millisecond counts.
The quote system automates everything that matters. One submission triggers emails to both the Dryve team and the customer, streamlining their entire workflow. No manual processing. No missed requests.
100 hours. Built from scratch. Solo development.
The result? A platform that performs like an e-commerce site but handles the unique demands of party rental logistics. Users get the familiar shopping experience they expect, while Dryve gets the efficient quote management they need.
Hosted on AWS and Vercel for reliability and speed that scales with demand.

The menu navigation and cart system borrowed proven patterns from e-commerce leaders like Shopify. Users add rental items to their quote just like adding products to a shopping cart—familiar interactions that reduce thinking time.
The checkout flow guides users through rental requests with the same smooth progression they expect from online shopping. Clean dropdowns, instant feedback, and seamless transitions between steps. Because it's built custom with Next.js instead of heavy third-party platforms, every interaction feels immediate.
No loading spinners. No clunky form submissions. Just the polished experience users expect from modern e-commerce, optimized for rental business logic.
