Role

Full-stack developer responsible for the Django app, responsive frontend, admin-managed bouquets, image handling, and deployment.

Problem

Small businesses need websites that are attractive, easy to update, responsive on mobile, and deployable on real domains.

Solution

I built a florist demo with database-driven bouquet content, category filtering, AJAX sorting, a featured carousel, WebP-optimized images, and production deployment with HTTPS.

Key features

Responsive business homepage
Bouquet categories and filtering
AJAX-powered sorting
Featured product carousel
Django admin content management
WebP image optimization
HTTPS custom domain deployment

What I learned

This project helped me practice building a more client-facing website: visual polish, admin usability, image optimization, and the full path from local Django app to deployed VPS site.

Future improvements

Online ordering
Delivery scheduling
Customer accounts
Payment integration
CMS-style page editing

Have something similar in mind?

Share the rough project shape and I’ll help turn it into a practical next step.
