Creative Crochet

During my first semester of Web1, I was assigned to create a website that used Node and express frameworks. I decided to create a E-commerce store to sell Crochet.

Next Steps:

There are many steps to this personal website that I still need to complete.

Currently the website is solely for browsing, I would like to implement PayPal for purchasing goods. In addition, having a login to save purchases, and check purchase history.
