Introduction

Our team embarked on an exhilarating journey to develop an innovative e-commerce platform to revolutionize online shopping experiences. Comprising Marie, Leo, and Lorraine our roles were delineated to ensure smooth operations throughout our project's timeline, from 17th November 2023 to December 14th, 2023. With a steadfast focus on catering to an online market, my commitment within the team was dedicated to the front-end development of the website.

A Personal Connection to the Project

Reflecting on my journey, the genesis of this project stems from always wanting convenience and security while shopping. we both shared personal stories and envisioned a platform that could offer the same joy and convenience to others. This project isn't just about building an e-commerce platform; it's a testament to my background, experiences, and unwavering dedication to crafting a seamless shopping environment for users.

Accomplishments Overview

Our project culminated in a groundbreaking outcome. The screenshot illustrates the landing page of our website. Technologies such as javascript, CSS, HTML, and Django were meticulously chosen to ensure the website was effective and user-friendly. Notable features include the shop page where customers can check out a variety of shopping items available in-store, the option to add more items to a cart, and the various payment options.

Tackling Technical Challenges

Amidst triumphs, a pivotal moment arose when we encountered a substantial technical hurdle. The integration of our database posed a formidable task. Employing the STAR method, we navigated through this challenge by installing Postgresql on our local machine to ensure we managed our database and easily accessed it. This resulted in saving a lot of space for our website as all the media was stored in the database and user information.

Insights and Lessons Learned

This project has been a treasure trove of insights. From technical revelations to personal growth, it unveiled nuances that shape my future as an engineer. Key takeaways encompass the improved use of languages such as HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I believe I have gained some prowess in my collaboration skills and teamwork. I would also love to get better skills on the backend side of engineering.
