Project Overview
Peach Nails is an online store that sells different nail products like nail polishes, tools, and accessories. The project aimed to create a simple and easy-to-use website where customers could shop for these products quickly and comfortably. The website was built using WordPress and WooCommerce, which are popular tools for making online stores. The design had to be attractive and straightforward, helping visitors find what they need without any trouble.
Objectives
- Create an Easy Shopping Experience: The goal was to make it simple for customers to browse and buy products.
- Set Up a Working Shopping Cart and Checkout: The website needed to allow customers to add items to their cart, review their choices, and pay safely.
- Show the Brand’s Values: The website had to reflect what Peach Nails stands for, helping to build trust with customers.
- Make It Mobile-Friendly: The site needed to work well on phones and tablets so more people could shop easily.
Challenges
- Integrating E-commerce Features: Setting up WooCommerce to include product pages, a shopping cart, and secure payment methods was necessary but challenging.
- Balancing Design and Functionality: It was important to keep the website looking nice while ensuring it was easy to use. Too much design could confuse users, while too little could make it look plain.
- Ensuring Mobile Compatibility: Making sure the website worked smoothly on different devices required careful planning and testing.
Solutions
- User-Centered Design: The design process started with creating a simple layout that made it easy for users to navigate. Clear menus and a clean layout helped customers find products quickly.

- Responsive Design Techniques: The website was built to adjust automatically to different screen sizes. This meant it looked good and worked well on both computers and mobile devices.
