Challenge

Create a website based on the Shark Tank TV show that will include in the end all the products that were displayed on the show, grouped by season/episode and provide extra details about each of the products.

Each product will have attached information about the loan requested, if a deal was finalized, who was the investor, deal time, total amount invested, and more.

The goal is to have a database accessible for users where they can play with a filter that will allow them to find products based on the criteria mentioned above.

The total number of products included is over 1200.

Solution

We create a WordPress website with a custom theme that supports visual editors (like Elementor), this will allow the client to manage part of the content on the static page. For the product page we used WordPress’s Gutenberg with a combination of elements that pull real data from the Products. This way the product presentation content is correctly updated with the meta details of the Product.

For the Database like page, where users can interact and filter the 1200+ products we created a custom WordPress plugin that uses VueJS and pulls data from products managed inside WordPress.
