The thesis focuses on leveraging contemporary web technologies to build and develop an online retail website. Web server deployment, database administration, secure payment systems, responsive design, and front-end and back-end development are important domains. The goals were to design a professional, efficient platform, add features like shopping carts, payment gateways, user authentication, and product listings, test it for performance, security, and usability, and record the development process for academic and practical usage. The results include a fully functional website, source code, development process documentation, and a final thesis paper outlining the effort, goals, and lessons learned. The theoretical part of the thesis focuses on the technologies used for the project, providing a comprehensive overview of the foundational principles, architectural patterns, and modern frameworks that play important roles in the development of full-stack web applications. This includes an in-depth analysis of the client-server model, RESTful API design, and the interaction between the frontend and backend.
