The brief and approach

Context

A self-initiated concept for a fictional UAE lifestyle store, bringing scarves, stationery, prayer essentials and gifts into one catalogue. This is a portfolio project, not a client business.

Problem

A varied catalogue needs a clear route from discovering a collection to choosing a product, without losing the quiet character of the brand.

Approach

Organise products into four collections, use consistent product cards and place prices, variations and delivery information close to the purchase decision.

Development

A custom WordPress theme wraps WooCommerce catalogue, cart and account templates. PHP handles catalogue filters and product information; JavaScript adds saved-product controls. Optimised WebP photographs are served locally.

Result

A responsive storefront with collections, product details and a local test checkout. The public GitHub Pages site is a static design preview: checkout, accounts and server filtering require the local runtime. No real payments or sales are claimed.
