✨ Key Features

• Fully Responsive Design: A mobile-first approach ensures the site looks great on all devices, from small phones to large desktops.
• Modern Dark Theme: A visually appealing dark theme with gold and berry accents for a premium feel.
• Interactive Product Cards: Users can browse products with hover effects and quick actions.
• Persistent Shopping Cart: Add items to a shopping cart. The cart's state is saved in the browser's localStorage, so items are not lost on page reload.
• Persistent Wishlist: Save favorite items to a wishlist, which is also saved using localStorage.
• Dynamic Modals: Sleek, animated modals for the cart, wishlist, and checkout/order form.
• On-Scroll Animations: Elements animate into view as the user scrolls down the page, powered by the IntersectionObserver API for optimal performance.
• Interactive Testimonial Slider: A custom-built, touch-friendly slider for customer reviews.
• Client-Side Form Handling: A functional contact form and order form that provide user feedback on the front end.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• HTML5: For the structure and content of the website.
• CSS3: For all the styling, including:
  • Flexbox and CSS Grid for modern, responsive layouts.
  • Custom Properties (Variables) for a maintainable and consistent theme.
  • Transitions & Animations for a smooth, dynamic user experience.
• Vanilla JavaScript (ES6+): For all interactivity, including:
  • DOM manipulation to dynamically update the UI.
  • localStorage for persistent cart and wishlist functionality.
  • IntersectionObserver for performant scroll animations.
• Font Awesome: For all the icons used throughout the site.
• Animate.css: For some of the pre-built element animations.
• Google Fonts: For custom typography (Playfair Display, Poppins, Dancing Script).

• Payment Gateway: Integrate a payment system like Stripe or PayPal.
