Never Knew I Needed: Bridal Apparel Customization Tool
Posted on Thursday, July 27th, 2023
The client came up with the idea for the project for the business NKIN (Never Knew I Needed). NKIN is an online bridal clothing store that sells apparel for bridal activities. The main focus of the project is to provide customization tools for different items within the NKIN shop. The current project is a continuation of a previous team’s implementation with additional improvements and features in mind.
There was a need to limit the color selection for the user and allow for color palette customization for the client to pre-set. In the previous implementation, users could select any color that exists and use it as the color of the shirt. This was an issue for the client due to the limited color pool to work with when making apparel. Another requirement was to implement a drag and drop feature for images and logos to allow for further product customization while limiting where the image could be placed. In the previous implementation, whenever a user would try to add an image to a shirt, it would only allow the image to be placed in the center of the screen.
Due to issues retrieving the previous project, the team had to focus on rebuilding the project from the ground up. This new version was built with the new limitations in mind. The project was developed using the Node.js and React frameworks in the Visual Studio IDE.
Overall, we, as a team, are proud of what we have built and have learned a lot in the process. The skills developed while working with the client and each other, as well as the technical skills sharpened through this experience, are invaluable.
Thank you for taking the time to experience a small part of our journey.
