The project involves developing a prototype for an inclusive global e-commerce platform aimed at empowering service providers through ownership while delivering enriching user experiences. The platform should leverage cutting-edge technology to ensure a seamless user experience, maintaining local relevance across various regions. The primary objective is to design a user-friendly interface that enables service providers to efficiently list their businesses and services. The project will focus on integrating features that cater to diverse cultural and regional needs, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity for all users. Learners will apply their classroom knowledge in web development, user experience design, and market research to tackle the challenges of creating a scalable yet locally relevant marketplace. The project will emphasize the importance of cultural sensitivity and accessibility in global platform design.

The deliverables for this project include a functional prototype of the e-commerce platform with a user-friendly interface. The prototype should demonstrate the ability to list services efficiently and incorporate features that address diverse cultural and regional needs. Additionally, a report detailing the market research findings and design decisions made during the project will be provided. The final presentation will showcase the prototype's functionality and highlight its inclusivity and accessibility features.
