The project aims to build an engaging outlet to display an eclectic collection featuring a number of rare volumes available for purchase to an audience of bibliophiles. With a minimalistic aesthetic, the website focuses on functionality and easy navigation. It's optimized for mobile and features a responsive design, ensuring a smooth browsing experience on all devices.
Challenge
Addressing the Requirements of a Niche Collector's Market
The project's key challenge is creating an e-commerce platform for a niche market of collectors.

A backend system is deployed to orchestrate product data, inventory and price information.
