I developed "Village Green," a comprehensive e-commerce platform using Next.js with a PostgreSQL database hosted on Vercel. The site features a Google Map integration to locate the restaurant, a fully functional e-commerce system for purchasing musical instruments, a robust authentication system, and an administrative dashboard for managing the business.

Project Title: Village Green

Description:

“Village Green” is an innovative online platform catering to musical instrument enthusiasts. The site combines e-commerce functionality with business management tools, offering both customers and administrators a seamless and feature-rich experience. Developed with Next.js and PostgreSQL, the project includes a custom Google Maps integration, allowing users to locate the restaurant or physical store with ease.

Key Features:

1. E-Commerce Functionality

  • Customers can browse a wide variety of musical instruments, each with detailed descriptions, high-quality images, and pricing.
  • A streamlined shopping experience includes features like adding items to a cart, managing quantities, and completing orders securely.
  • Orders are tracked in a dedicated database for efficient processing.

2. Google Maps Integration

  • A custom Google Map displays the exact location of the restaurant or physical store.
  • Interactive features allow users to get directions and explore the area.

3. Authentication System

  • A secure login and registration system is implemented using NextAuth.
  • User data, including names and purchase history, is stored securely in the PostgreSQL database.

4. Administrative Dashboard

  • Administrators can manage products, orders, and customer data through an intuitive CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) interface.
  • A detailed list of recent orders provides insights into customer preferences and business performance.
  • Inventory management ensures products are updated in real time.

5. Order Management

  • Customers can view their order history and receive updates on order status.
  • The system supports notifications for order confirmation and delivery.

Technologies Used:

  • Next.js: For building a responsive, server-rendered, and performant web application.
  • PostgreSQL: To manage relational data and ensure high availability and reliability.
  • Google Maps API: For geolocation and map functionality.
  • Tailwind CSS: To design an elegant and modern user interface.
  • NextAuth: For implementing the authentication system.

Project Duration: “Village Green” was developed over a period of three months, emphasizing careful planning, clean code practices, and seamless integration of multiple systems.

Results and Future Prospects: The “Village Green” project has successfully provided users with a one-stop platform for purchasing musical instruments and locating physical stores. Future plans include expanding product categories, adding a review and rating system, and optimizing the mobile experience.
