Problem
Dashboards turn into walls of numbers. A manager needs fast comparison, not a decorative report.
E-commerce Operations Dashboard
Goals
- Let someone scan status, notice change, and move on.
- Stay useful at 13-inch laptop widths.
Solution
A React dashboard built from reusable metric, inventory, and chart components with a layout system tuned for dense information.
Key features
- Sales overview
- Inventory cards
- Revenue charts
- Responsive tables
Architecture
Typed KPI, table, and chart components; a grid layout that collapses predictably; charting isolated behind a small wrapper so the library can be swapped.
Technical decisions
- Consistent card anatomy so the eye compares metrics without relearning each block.
- Typography and spacing were settled before any colour accents were added.
- Tables collapse into summaries on narrow viewports instead of scrolling horizontally.
Tech stack
- React
- TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS
- Charts
- Netlify
Hardest part
Balancing density with breathing room.
What I learned
A dashboard succeeds when it helps people answer a small set of repeated questions quickly.
Result
A deployed prototype that shows how I structure information-dense UI.
