Description

CheapBunk is a custom-built e-commerce platform designed specifically for selling digital subscriptions online. The project aimed to provide a smooth, fast, and user-focused experience that simplifies the purchase and management of online services for both the seller and the end customer.

The platform was built from scratch using a modern tech stack to ensure high performance, security, and full control over features—something that off-the-shelf e-commerce solutions often lack. The goal was to create a powerful system that can scale with the business while keeping the user interface simple and intuitive for all types of users.
