so, let start.

Home Page

To create home page, open index.html file and start with basic HTML 5 template. After done with that, link style.css file to it. And also, link Cinzel, Lato google fonts.

Now let's make header section.

<!-- header -->
<header class="header-section">
    <h1 class="header-heading"><span>premium</span> quality</h1>
</header>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And let's give it some styles.

*{
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

body{
    font-family: 'cinzel', serif;
}

.header-section{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100vh;
    background: url(../img/header.png);
    background-size: cover;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

.header-heading{
    font-size: 100px;
    text-transform: capitalize;
    color: #fff;
}

.header-heading span{
    color: #d5be8b;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Let's see the output

Ecom website

So now, let's make the navbar.

Navbar

<!-- navbar -->
<nav class="navbar">
    <ul class="links-container">
        <li class="link-item"><a href="#" class="link active">home</a></li>
        <li class="link-item"><a href="#" class="link">product</a></li>
        <li class="link-item"><a href="#" class="link">about</a></li>
        <li class="link-item"><a href="#" class="link">contact</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div class="user-interactions">
        <div class="cart">
            <img src="img/cart.png" class="cart-icon" alt="">
            <span class="cart-item-count">00</span>
        </div>
        <div class="user">
            <img src="img/user.png" class="user-icon" alt="">
        </div>
    </div>
</nav>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And style it.

.navbar{
    width: 100%;
    height: 80px;
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    z-index: 9;
    transition: .5s;
}

.navbar.bg{
    background: #fff;
}

.links-container{
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    list-style: none;
}

.link-item{
    margin: 10px;
}

.link{
    font-size: 20px;
    color: #fff;
    text-decoration: none;
    padding: 10px;
    opacity: 0.7;
    transition: .5s;
}

.navbar.bg .link{
    color: #000;
    opacity: 0.5;
}

.link.active, .link:hover, .navbar.bg .link:hover, .navbar.bg .link.active{
    opacity: 1;
}

.user-interactions{
    display: flex;
    position: absolute;
    right: 5vw;
    top: 50%;
    transform: translateY(-50%);
}

.cart, .user{
    width: 30px;
    height: 30px;
    position: relative;
    margin: 10px;
    cursor: pointer;
}

.cart-icon, .user-icon{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    object-fit: cover;
}

.cart-item-count{
    font-family: 'lato', sans-serif;
    color: #d5be8b;
    padding: 5px;
    font-size: 15px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    background: #190c05;
    position: absolute;
    bottom: -12px;
    left: -12px;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You can notice I also have .navbar.bg in above CSS code. I made that style so we can easily set navbar bg color to white when we scroll down.

It's looking great. Now, make the product card or best selling product section.

Best selling product section

<!-- best selling products -->
<section class="best-selling-product-section">
    <h1 class="section-title">best selling products</h1>
    <div class="product-container">
        <div class="product-card">
            <img src="img/product-1.png" class="product-img" alt="">
            <p class="product-name">lights →</p>
        </div>
        // +3 more product cards
    </div>
</section>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And also style it.

/* best selling product */

.best-selling-product-section{
    position: relative;
    padding: 60px 5vw;
}

.section-title{
    text-transform: capitalize;
    font-size: 30px;
    margin-bottom: 30px;
}

.product-container{
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

.product-card{
    border: 15px solid #d5be8b;
    width: 300px;
    height: 300px;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
    background: #d5be8b;
}

.product-card:nth-child(even){
    border-color: #190c05;
    background: #190c05;
}

.product-img{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    object-fit: cover;
    transition: .5s;
}

.product-name{
    position: absolute;
    color: #fff;
    text-transform: capitalize;
    font-family: 'lato', sans-serif;
    font-size: 25px;
    bottom: 20px;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translateX(-50%);
    opacity: 0;
    transition: .5s;
}

.product-card:hover .product-name{
    opacity: 1;
}

.product-card:hover .product-img{
    opacity: 0.5;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
Output

After best selling product section, we have sort of mid section, which basically telling about the company in key points. So let's make it now.

Mid section

<!-- mid section -->
    <section class="mid-section">
        <div class="section-item-container">
            <img src="img/bg-2.png" class="section-bg" alt="">
            <div class="section-info">
                <h1 class="title">premium quality in <span>affordable</span> price</h1>
                <p class="info">lorem 15</p>
            </div>
        </div>
    </section>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
/* mid section */

.mid-section{
    width: 100%;
    height: 800px;
    padding: 40px 5vw;
}

.section-item-container{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    position: relative;
    padding: 20px;
}

.section-bg{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    position: absolute;
    z-index: -1;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
}

.section-info{
    width: 50%;
    height: 100%;
    background: #fff;
    display: block;
    margin-left: auto;
    padding: 50px;
    text-align: center;
}

.title{
    font-size: 60px;
    line-height: 100px;
}

.title span{
    color: #d5be8b;
}

.info{
    font-family: 'lato', sans-serif;
    font-size: 25px;
    line-height: 45px;
    margin-top: 30px;
    opacity: 0.5;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Isn't it looking great ? Okay, we have another section which is basically a image collage section, in future we'll redirect user to the product page on clicking on those images.

Image Collage

<!-- image collage section -->
<section class="image-mid-section">
    <div class="image-collage">
        <div class="image-collection">
            <img src="img/poster-1.png" class="collage-img" alt="">
            <img src="img/poster-2.png" class="collage-img" alt="">
            <img src="img/poster-3.png" class="collage-img" alt="">
        </div>
    </div>
</section>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
/* image collage */

.image-mid-section{
    width: 100%;
    height: 600px;
    padding: 50px 5vw;
}

.image-collage{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background: url(../img/bg-1.png);
    background-size: cover;
}

.image-collection{
    position: relative;
    display: block;
    width: 50%;
    height: 100%;
    background: #fff;
    margin: auto;
}

.collage-img{
    position: absolute;
    object-fit: cover;
    transition: .5s;
}

.collage-img:nth-child(1){
    width: 350px;
    height: 350px;
    top: 20px;
    left: 40px;
}

.collage-img:nth-child(2){
    width: 250px;
    height: 250px;
    top: 200px;
    left: 200px;
}

.collage-img:nth-child(3){
    width: 250px;
    height: 250px;
    top: 100px;
    left: 350px;
}

.collage-img:hover{
    transform: translateY(-10px);
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In the above we added hover effect to .collage-img. But we haven't added that blur effect, we'll do that from JS.

So open home.js file and link it to the home page, using script tag.

And then write some JS.

// image collage

const collageImages = [...document.querySelectorAll('.collage-img')]

collageImages.map((item, i) => {
    item.addEventListener('mouseover', () => {
        collageImages.map((image, index) => {
            if(index != i){
                image.style.filter = `blur(10px)`;
                item.style.zIndex = 2;
            }
        })
    })

    item.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => {
        collageImages.map((image, index) => {
            image.style = null;
        })
    })
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The above is code is very easy to understand, I just selected all the imaged and loop through each one using map method. Then after I am adding mouseover and mouseleave events to the image. If you didn't understood let me know in the comment.

After all of this, let's make review section.

Review section

<!-- review section -->
<section class="review-section">
    <h1 class="section-title">what our <span>customers</span> says about us</h1>
    <div class="review-container">
        <div class="review-card">
            <div class="user-dp" data-rating="4.9"><img src="img/user 1.png" alt=""></div>
            <h2 class="review-title">best quality more than my expectation</h2>
            <p class="review">Lorem15</p>
        </div>
        +3 more reviews
    </div>
</section>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
/* review section */

.review-section{
    padding: 50px 5vw;
}

.section-title span{
    color: #d5be8b;
}

.review-container{
    margin: 50px;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: space-between;
}

.review-card{
    width: 250px;
    height: auto;
    font-family: 'lato', sans-serif;
}

.user-dp{
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    position: relative;
}

.user-dp img{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    object-fit: cover;
}

.user-dp::before{
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    top: 10px;
    left: 10px;
    right: 10px;
    bottom: 10px;
    border: 4px solid #fff;
    border-radius: 50%;
}

.user-dp::after{
    content: attr(data-rating);
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    right: -20px;
    padding: 5px 20px;
    border-radius: 20px;
    background: #d5be8b;
}

.review-title{
    font-size: 20px;
    line-height: 25px;
    margin: 30px 0;
    text-transform: capitalize;
}

.review{
    opacity: 0.7;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

So out last section is basically a copy of our mid section. so you can copy it and paste after review section. Then just change the classnames little bit.

End section

<!-- end section -->
<section class="end-section">
    <div class="section-item-container">
        <img src="img/bg-3.png" class="section-bg" alt="">
        <div class="section-info">
            <h1 class="title">order <span>now</span></h1>
            <p class="info">Lorem15.</p>
        </div>
    </div>
</section>

<footer>made by modern web</footer>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Also make the footer section.



.end-section .section-info{
    margin: 0;
}

.end-section .title{
    font-size: 100px;
    line-height: 150px;
    margin: 50px;
}

footer{
    font-family: 'lato', sans-serif;
    color: #d5be8b;
    background: #190c05;
    width: 100%;
    height: 50px;
    line-height: 50px;
    text-align: center;
    text-transform: capitalize;
    font-size: 20px;
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And the last thing make the "navbar" change its background to white on scroll.

home.js

// navbar

const navbar = document.querySelector('.navbar');

window.addEventListener('scroll', () => {
    if(scrollY >= 180){
        navbar.classList.add('bg');
    } else{
        navbar.classList.remove('bg');
    }
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Above code it easy If you still don't get it. Ask me in the description.

Ecom website

And finally we are done with the home page. Don't worry about, responsiveness we'll make this site responsive at the end.

We can now make our search page, product page and 404 page, but I think the article is getting long. So you can make those pages from the video.

So that's sit for today. Great work. I know it was a lot. But e-commerce website is not that simple. Don't forget to follow me on youtube and dev.to if you don't want to miss the next part of this series.

I hope you understood each and everything. If you have doubt or I missed something let me know in the comments.

do not use pixels to set the font size. Comply with user preferences and use em / rem instead of px.
