About the project
Built a custom Django e-commerce platform: product catalog with categories and image galleries, user accounts, shopping cart and wishlist, loyalty points system, weekly drop scheduling, and live purchase notifications for social proof.
The Challenge
A fashion brand selling limited-edition streetwear needed a platform that could handle weekly product drops with high traffic spikes and create urgency through real-time social proof. Off-the-shelf platforms like Shopify did not support the custom drop mechanics they needed.
The Solution
- Custom Django e-commerce with scheduled product drops — items go live at a set time with countdown timers
- Real-time purchase notifications ("Maria from Madrid just bought...") for social proof
- Loyalty points system rewarding early buyers and repeat customers
- Image galleries with zoom, color variants, and size guides
- Wishlist and "notify me" for upcoming drops
- Mobile-first design optimized for Instagram traffic
Results & Impact
- First drop sold out 80% of inventory within 48 hours
- Live notifications increased conversion by 22% during drops
- Average order value EUR 85 — 15% higher than industry average
- Mobile traffic: 78% — optimized design paid off
- Zero downtime during traffic spikes (handled 500+ concurrent users)
