Indica Pharms

Project Brief

This project is a product-based website I created as a passion project for a fictional B2C (business-to-consumer) company in the cannabis industry called Indica Farms. The goal of this website was to showcase the company’s new products and share company updates while ensuring it was simple and enjoyable for visitors to use.

Key Features & Technologies

The website was built using HTML, CSS, and the Bootstrap 3 framework, which allows the site to adapt seamlessly to different devices, browsers, and screen sizes. This means the website looks great and works smoothly, whether viewed on a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

 

Dynamic Content Management with Laravel 5.2

To make the website easy to update and maintain, I built a Content Management System (CMS) using Laravel 5.2, a powerful PHP framework. The CMS allows administrators to manage and update the following dynamic content:

  • Product Listings: Add, edit, or remove product details such as descriptions, images, and pricing in real time.
  • Blog Posts: Create and publish articles to keep users informed about company news, industry trends, and product launches.

This dynamic functionality ensures the website remains fresh and up-to-date without requiring technical expertise.

Responsive and User-Friendly Design

Using Bootstrap 3, I ensured the website is fully responsive, meaning it adapts beautifully to different devices, screen sizes, and browsers. Whether accessed on a smartphone, tablet, or desktop, the site offers a seamless browsing experience.

Custom Contact Form with Spam Protection

The website includes a custom-built contact form powered by Ajax and JavaScript, allowing users to submit inquiries without reloading the page. To safeguard against spam, I integrated Google reCAPTCHA v2, ensuring only genuine submissions are received.

Google Maps Integration

To help potential customers find stores that carry Indica Farms’ products, I integrated Google Maps into the website. Visitors can easily locate nearby retailers or distribution points, adding convenience to their shopping experience.

Outcome

As the designer and developer, I ensured every aspect of the website was tailored to provide a great experience for users. From responsive design to helpful features like maps and contact forms, this project demonstrates my ability to create functional and user-friendly websites, even in specialized industries like cannabis.
