Project Overview

A children's clothing store designed for the parent doing the buying.

A specialised kidswear store with age and size guidance built into the browsing flow, because the person shopping is rarely the person wearing the clothes.

The interface trades density for clarity: fewer options per screen, explicit size guidance and a checkout that can be completed one-handed on a phone.

The Challenge

Children's sizing is the primary source of returns and hesitation, and generic size charts buried in a tab do not fix it.

The Approach

Size guidance was surfaced inline at the point of selection, with age-to-measurement mapping shown next to the variant picker rather than hidden behind a modal.

Core Features

01

Catalog & variant engine

Products modelled with size, colour and fit variants, each with its own stock counter, pricing rule and media set.

02

Faceted search & filtering

Instant client-side filtering across category, size, price band and availability, with URL-synced state so any view is shareable.

03

Cart & checkout flow

Persistent cart, address capture, shipping options and an order summary that recalculates totals and tax on every change.

04

Order lifecycle

Order creation, status transitions and history views for both the customer account area and the admin side.

05

Merchandising surfaces

Editorial hero blocks, collection rails and related-product logic used to push seasonal drops without a code change.

Architecture & Tech

Tech Stack

React
Engineering Notes
  • React with a component-driven structure, memoised derived state and route-level code splitting to keep interaction snappy.

My Role & Contributions

  • Owned the front-end architecture, component library and state management.
  • Implemented the full React stack for this project.
  • Translated design intent into a responsive, accessible interface across breakpoints.
  • Handled client communication, scope decisions, delivery and handover directly.
  • Deployed and verified the production build.

Delivery Process

  1. 01

    Discovery & scoping

    Requirements distilled into a prioritised scope, user flows and a data model sketch before any code.

  2. 02

    Architecture & design system

    Component hierarchy, state boundaries and a token-based visual system defined so screens could be assembled consistently.

  3. 03

    Implementation

    Built iteratively with React, shipping vertical slices — data, logic and UI together — instead of layer by layer.

  4. 04

    Hardening & launch

    Edge cases, validation, responsive behaviour and performance passes, followed by deployment and post-launch monitoring.

Results & Outcomes

  • Shipped to production and publicly reachable at the live URL.
  • Responsive from small mobile screens through large desktop layouts.
  • Interface patterns reusable across the rest of the product surface.
