Jewelry E-commerce Platform with Admin Management

Overview

The client required a robust online jewelry store with full backend management and frontend flexibility. They wanted a custom-built system that allowed them to showcase products elegantly, manage orders, and control user access. A unique feature of this project was the ability for the admin to create and control orders manually — even backdated ones — which aligned with their internal company sales workflow.

Project Challenge

The key challenge was designing a backend that was flexible yet secure. Admins needed to create user accounts in bulk, manage product catalogs, and manually generate orders without interfering with the standard checkout flow. Ensuring data consistency, especially when mixing backend and frontend order creation workflows, was crucial.

Design Research

We analyzed popular jewelry platforms and studied their admin panels and ordering processes. The client also provided specific workflow diagrams, which we used to map out user and admin roles. We ensured that the admin had granular control over all features without overwhelming the interface.

Design Approach

The admin panel was designed using Laravel's blade templates and Bootstrap UI. A modular approach allowed us to build features like user creation, order history tracking, manual order creation, and dynamic frontend banners. The website's frontend was fully linked with the backend, so any admin update reflected in real-time.

The Solutions

Admin Order Creation: Admin could create orders for any user, set custom dates, and view order logs. Bulk User Upload: Admins could bulk upload users via Excel or CSV. Dynamic Frontend Control: Admin could update banners, homepage sections, and featured products without editing code. Role Management: Created a role-based permission system for staff. Complete Product Management: Admin could add SKUs, set pricing, and assign product categories. Secure User Activity Logs: Every action by admin or staff was logged for audit purposes.
