Building a fast, SEO-friendly jewellery platform with complex product filtering

The platform needed to handle a large jewellery catalog with advanced filters while maintaining fast load times. Ensuring SEO performance for dynamic pages and optimizing heavy image assets were key challenges. Providing a smooth user experience across desktop and mobile devices was also critical.

Performance-focused Next.js frontend with reusable UI architecture

Used Next.js SSR and SSG to improve SEO and page load speed. Built a reusable component system using Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui. Applied performance optimizations such as code splitting, lazy loading, and image optimization.
