Identified Challenges for an Online Merchandising Platform

The client requires a digital platform to effectively showcase and sell ready-made products such as apparel, stickers, and branded merchandise, while also enabling customers to personalize items like t-shirts, caps, and hoodies. Current mockups are unstructured and difficult to translate into a user-friendly interface, necessitating an intuitive UI design. Additionally, the platform must support site reloads without full page refreshes, detailed and comprehensive purchase workflows, advanced filtering, and a scalable infrastructure to handle increasing traffic and transactional volumes.
