What You Will Build

A production-grade e-commerce web app inspired by Amazon. Users can browse 12+ products across categories, filter by category, search products, view detailed product pages, add items to a persistent cart, update quantities, validate and submit a checkout form with payment method selection, and land on an animated order success screen — all powered by frontend state management.
