📄 General Info

Pocket Cart is a web-based platform that offers a convenient and comprehensive shopping experience for pet owners. With a wide range of products including food, treats, flea, tick and worm treatments, litter, accessories, and toys for various pets, our website is designed to meet the needs of pet owners and ensure the happiness and well-being of their beloved companions.

This project is led by a dedicated team comprising Dom, Karen, Riley, Roxanne, and Stuart. As part of our journey in the General Assembly Software Engineering Immersive course, we have come together to create this eCommerce website, leveraging our skills and knowledge in web development. Despite being located in different time zones, we collaborate effectively to ensure continuous progress and deliver a high-quality product to our users.
