THE COIN CABINET
A high-trust retail platform for rare coins and collectibles — Laravel and React, Nginx at the edge, and MySQL alongside PostgreSQL where each fits best.
The Coin Cabinet demanded crisp UI, secure checkout, and content that feels as considered as the inventory. We blended UI/UX craft with Laravel services, React islands, and disciplined DevOps.
Nginx terminates TLS; the data layer splits operational PostgreSQL with MySQL where legacy reporting required it.
The site serves UK collectors with continuous product and content updates.
