💡 Development Journey

This project started as a basic template from v0.dev and was extensively customized and enhanced to create a fully functional e-commerce website. Key development milestones included:

1. Initial Setup: Started with a basic Next.js template
2. UI Design: Implemented clean, minimalist design principles
3. Product Catalog: Created a flexible product data structure
4. Filtering System: Added category and price filtering capabilities
5. Responsive Design: Optimized for all device sizes
6. Performance Optimization: Implemented Next.js best practices
7. Accessibility Improvements: Ensured WCAG compliance
8. SEO Optimization: Added metadata and semantic HTML

The most challenging aspects were implementing the responsive sidebar filters and ensuring proper performance with the dynamic product filtering system. These challenges were overcome by using React's state management effectively and implementing proper Suspense boundaries for client components.
