E-commerce Website

# E-commerce Website ## Project Overview This project involved building a complete e-commerce platform for a client in the retail industry. The platform needed to handle product listings, user accounts, shopping carts, and secure checkout processes. ## Technical Details The solution was built using the MERN stack: - **Frontend**: React with Redux for state management - **Backend**: Node.js with Express - **Database**: MongoDB - **Authentication**: JWT-based auth system - **Payment Processing**: Integration with Stripe API ## Key Features - Responsive design for all device sizes - Advanced product filtering and search - User account management - Wishlist functionality - Shopping cart with persistent storage - Secure checkout process - Order tracking - Admin dashboard for inventory management ## Development Process The development followed an agile methodology with two-week sprints. The project was completed over a period of three months, with regular client feedback incorporated throughout the process. ## Challenges and Solutions One of the main challenges was implementing a real-time inventory system that could handle multiple concurrent users. This was solved by implementing a reservation system for items added to carts, with automatic release after a set period of inactivity. ## Results The completed platform resulted in: - 35% increase in online sales - 25% reduction in cart abandonment - Improved inventory management efficiency - Positive user feedback on the shopping experience ## Conclusion This project demonstrates my ability to build complex, full-stack applications with modern technologies. The e-commerce platform continues to serve as the client's primary sales channel and has been expanded with additional features since the initial launch.
