Project Title

Very Good Ecommerce Website

What Is It Going to Do?

An ecommerce website that does the following:

• Allow sellers to create a customizable storefronts to sell goods
• Allow sellers to pick custom styles, colors, and pictures for their store front
• Allow sellers to manage their inventory
• Allow sellers to turn on commenting for their items
• Allow buyers to browse seller stores
• Allow buyers to add items to a persistent "cart"
• Allow buyers to comment on seller items
• Securely store credit card information for buyers
• Securely store payment information for sellers

TLDR: It's basically Etsy, but hopefully more customizable
