Artisan Nepal

Artisan Nepal is an innovative online marketplace designed to revolutionize the way homemade products and original artwork are bought and sold in Nepal. The platform leverages modern web technologies to provide artisans with a dedicated space to showcase and sell their creations, thereby enhancing visibility and fostering a supportive community for local talent. The primary goal of Artisan Nepal is to streamline marketing efforts and ensure secure transactions, thus empowering Nepalese artisans by providing them with direct access to a broader market. The platform not only allows for the easy listing and management of products but also offers features like customer reviews, order tracking, and sales analytics, which are crucial for the growth and sustainability of artisan businesses.

Online Marketplace for Handmade Products represents a significant step forward in digitizing the traditional craft market, contributing to the cultural and economic growth of the country by supporting its local artisans and craftspeople. This platform is not just a marketplace but a movement to recognize and value the artistry inherent in Nepal's rich cultural heritage.

Our primary objective is to develop a web application that provides a seamless and enjoyable experience for users looking to buy and sell homemade items. This platform will be user-friendly, ensuring that both sellers and buyers can easily navigate and utilize its features.

1. To create an intuitive and user-friendly platform for artisans to showcase and sell their products.
2. To implement advanced filtering and recommendation algorithms to enhance product visibility and personalized user experience.
3. To promote sustainable and eco-friendly products by encouraging local artisans and buyers to participate in a green marketplace.

Future Recommendation

• Advanced Recommendation System: Implementing an advanced recommendation engine using machine learning could personalize product suggestions for users, improving their shopping experience.
• Messaging System: Integrating a direct messaging system between buyers and sellers will allow real-time communication, improving the customer experience and fostering trust. This feature was not implemented in the current version due to time constraints.
• Online Payment Integration: Although eSewa was considered for future implementation, adding support for popular online payment methods such as credit cards, PayPal, and digital wallets will provide greater convenience for users.
• Enhanced Community Features: Adding features like forums, workshops, and live streaming events for artisans could foster deeper community engagement and promote their stories and products more effectively.
