The site is designed in a well structured way which makes navigation easy for the user
The site is bright and eye catching
The colours of the website complement the theme of the store and help keep your attention
Upon clicking into the site the user is greeted with the homepage where they can get an immediate understanding of what the store is for and are presented with the option to shop now
For the colour scheme I went with colours I felt best complemented the theme of the store. These being bright pinks and purples
After deciding on my colour scheme I tested them on webaim to make sure the contrast between them was right
The hind siliguri, waterfall and roboto fonts were used for the store
They are all elegant, pretty fonts that suit the feminine theme of the store
They are easy to read and look attractive

Due to time constraints I was not able to fully test this project
When I deployed my project through Heroku, It created an issue where the homepage is able to load but you cant access any of the products pages anymore as you get a server 500 error
I have not been able to find a resolution to this problem
When running the server through gitpod, no images appear
The website was deployed using Heroku using the following steps:
Use the "pip freeze -> requiremnts.txt" command in the terminal
Create a Heroku account
Click the New button in the upper right corner and select "create new app"
Choose a unique app name, region and click "Create app"
Go to the Settings tab, add the heroku/python buildpack
Go to the "deploy" tab and pick GitHub as a deployment method
Search for a repository to connect to
Go to the manual deploy section and click the "Deploy Branch" button
Wait for the app to build and then click on the "View" link
