MERN E-Commerce Project

Welcome to my first MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) project, an e-commerce platform hosted at senheizer.xyz. This project aims to provide a fully functioning e-commerce experience, similar to other popular platforms.

Technologies Used:

• MongoDB: Used as the database for storing product information, user data, and order details.
• Express.js: Utilized for building the server-side application, handling routes, and interacting with the database.
• Node.js: Used as the server-side JavaScript runtime environment.
• HTML/CSS: Used for structuring and styling the web pages.
• Bootstrap: Utilized for creating a visually appealing and responsive design.

Key Features:

• User Authentication: Users can sign up, log in, and manage their accounts securely.
• Product Management: Admins can add, edit, and delete products, including images and descriptions.
• Shopping Cart: Users can add products to their cart, update quantities, and proceed to checkout.
• Order Management: Users can view their order history and track the status of their orders.
• Responsive Design: The application is designed to provide a seamless experience across various devices.
