Overview
Poster Palace is a full-stack e-commerce application that specialises in selling large and extra-large high-quality posters.
Poster Palace is an eCommerce store built using Django with Stripe as the payment processor.
Poster Palace is an MVP (minimum viable product) full-stack e-commerce application built with Django that specialises in selling large and extra-large high-quality posters. This was the final project for my full-stack developer training in 2024.
The place to buy large (61 x 91 cm or 24.02 x 35.83 inches) and extra large (80 x 120 cm or 31.50 x 47.24 inches) posters. These high quality, designer inspired posters are made with eco-friendly sustainable materials and are statement pieces meant for display at home or in the office. They have been designed for customers looking for unique and impactful wall art.
The business model combines print-on-demand functionality with community engagement through a unique quarterly design competition where winners' posters are sold on the platform. This approach not only ensures fresh inventory but also builds brand awareness and community involvement.
