Bus Parts E-Commerce Redesign

This was a client freelance project where I was hired to revamp an outdated website from 2013 for a company selling bus parts. The project included full rebranding, new assets, product photography, and the initial stages of development.

🛠️ Scope of Work

• 🔧 Redesigned logo and defined a new color palette & brand identity
• 📋 Rewrote and structured content: mission, values, copyright
• ✏️ Created design mockups for all website pages
• 📷 Visited the company to improve product photography
• 🧱 Developed static pages using HTML, CSS, JavaScript
• 🔌 Connected pages and product data to Firebase backend

🔄 Workflow & Timeline

• November 2023: Client discussions, project scoping, initial asset review
• December 2023: Completed designs of most pages and submitted for approval
• January 2024: On-site visit to improve photo quality and collect content
• February–April 2024: Coded a few pages, set up Firebase, tested layout
• May 2024 onward: Project placed on hold by the client due to pending funding approval

💡 Challenges & Reflections

• The original website had no mobile responsiveness or visual hierarchy, so I had to rethink the structure from scratch.
• Working with a non-technical client meant extra time was needed for clear communication and content clarification.
• Despite the pause in development, this project gave me valuable experience managing a full-cycle client website revamp, from branding to frontend to backend setup.

🔮 What’s Next?

If resumed, I’d complete the full e-commerce functionality, including:

• Searchable product database
• Dynamic cart and checkout
• Admin panel for uploading new parts
• Firebase authentication for customers

This project sharpened my skills in design systems, client communication, and building structured websites for real-world business needs.
