Problem Statement

The current challenge faced by Exclusive Books is the lack of an intuitive, modern, and responsive online platform that fully reflects the rich history and extensive catalogue of the brand. Customers need a seamless digital experience that allows them to easily search, browse, and purchase books while accessing valuable content about the store’s heritage and offerings. This project aims to address these gaps by designing and developing a user-friendly e-commerce website tailored to the South African market.
