Bally International Hardware Shop

Overview (Short)

A professional business website developed for a hardware and building materials company to establish a strong digital presence and showcase products and services. The project was completed collaboratively, with contributions in development and partial involvement in deployment. Compared to previous projects, this implementation was more structured and smoother due to prior experience.

Problem (Company Problem)

Before the website, the company primarily relied on traditional communication and offline presence:
