This is a website for Rainbow Felt Designs to sell homemade crafted products in the UK.

This website is made to allow users to browse through and purchase crafted products. Users will be able to create an account, login and add products to a cart which they can then purchase with paypal. Users will be able to request custom products to be made, view information about all products and business.

This website uses Django as a base framework for site and for handling of databases. The site is styled with Bootstrap, mainly used for Nav-Bar, creating columns and making forms with the use of Django forms bootstrap. Small section of CSS code for collapsing navbar is from StackOverflow, see credits section for details. Javascript/JQuery has been used to improve the UX by improving responsiveness through AJAX, e.g. resize main container of site to fit users browser and to allow users to lookup to their postcode to make address input easier. Django Carton has been used to add shopping cart functionality to website, I've altered some of the code to add the ability to pay for contents of cart with PayPal. PayPal is used to pay for products using Django PayPal, PayPal is in sandbox mode for testing purposes, some settings would have to be changed for production. This website has been deployed on Heroku to be viewed and tested, you can see the site in action HERE
