Design and Development of Aabh??a?a: A Heritage Jewellery E-Commerce Platform

Abstract

Today, many people choose online shopping because it is quick and convenient compared to visiting physical stores. However, many traditional jewellery artisans still depend on offline markets and are not able to reach a larger audience. Because of this, a gap is created between skilled artisans and interested customers. The Aabh??a?a project is developed to solve this problem by creating a jewellery e-commerce website that connects artisans directly with users. The platform allows customers to browse different jewellery items, view details, and place orders easily. The system is built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend, while Node.js and Express.js are used for backend development. SQLite database is used to store product and order information. This project mainly focuses on creating a simple, user-friendly, and effective platform that supports traditional jewellery businesses and promotes Indian culture through digital technology.

Introduction

The rapid growth of online shopping has made purchasing products more convenient, including jewellery, which holds strong cultural and emotional value in India. However, many small-scale artisans struggle to benefit from existing e-commerce platforms, as these platforms often prioritize branded products over traditional handmade items.

To address this issue, the Aabh??a?a website is developed as a user-friendly platform that promotes traditional jewellery and supports artisans. It is built as a full-stack web application using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend, and Node.js with Express.js for the backend, with SQLite as the database.

The system allows users to browse jewellery, view product details, add items to a cart or wishlist, and place orders ??????. The backend processes and stores order data, while the admin dashboard helps manage products and orders.

The platform was successfully implemented with key features such as product display pages, user sign-in, cart management, payment interface, and an admin panel, providing a complete and efficient online shopping experience focused on promoting cultural craftsmanship.

Conclusion

The Aabh??a?a platform successfully connects traditional jewellery artisans with customers through a user-friendly e-commerce website. It provides an effective solution to help artisans grow their business and reach a wider audience. The system is built using modern web technologies and offers essential features for online shopping. With future improvements and additional features, this platform can play an important role in promoting Indian traditional jewellery and supporting local artisans through digital transformation.
