HiveMind

HiveMind is a collaborative E-commerce website developed as part of the CS2_TP module. The website is centered around a company that provides bee-friendly products for its users. The website is divided into three separate views: one for guests without an account, one for logged-in users, and one for admins to manage inventory and stock. The design of the website is minimalistic, making it easier for users to navigate through pages while following a specific color scheme.
