Problems
The challenge was to create an e-commerce site that could handle a large inventory of products while providing a fast and user-friendly experience. Initially, the site struggled with load times and navigation issues.
After a series of optimizations and code refactoring, we achieved a significant improvement in performance. The use of Django's built-in features and Bootstrap's grid system played a crucial role in this transformation.

Developing GreatKart taught us the importance of backend efficiency and the impact of front-end design on the overall user experience. We learned to balance functionality with aesthetics, ensuring that our site is not only powerful but also inviting and easy to use. The implementation of features like filters, payment gateway, search, cart, and pagination was a hands-on learning experience that enhanced my skills in web development.
