Best boilerplate project to start up my mom's online catalog?


Hey all! Some time ago my mom set up a small store to sell her hand made baby bags, beds and clothes. Now she's ready to move to the next step to have her own web catalog on top of social media to show a bit more her work. As a former full-stack and current back-end developer I know why I don't like doing front-end, so I thought of using a boilerplate project for setting it up.

Have you ever used any light-ish boilerplate project, hopefully in node + react/vue for something similar? The idea is to have a way of uploading new products with pictures, with no need for online shopping for now, it should have also responsive design.

Any other recommendation of a similar tool using a different stack would be also appreciated!

Thank you!

You should consider Shopify, Etsy, or even something like Ebay or Amazon. There's absolutely no reason to reinvent the wheel here. Ecommerce can be a real can of worms.

Seems like you're asking for a CMS. Drupal or Joomla would probably meet your needs.
