MEBOTY.cz

In 2013, I had already built a few websites and an online store. I decided to try running a store of my own and experience first-hand everything it involved.

I started with a model where I forwarded orders to a supplier. Over time, however, I ran the store from A to Z: I handled customer calls, managed supplier relationships, purchased stock, packed parcels, and dispatched orders.

Alongside daily operations, I kept developing the system. I built features that made ordering from suppliers easier and gave customers clearer delivery estimates.

I integrated the store with partner websites and linked it to social media and advertising channels. The technical work was never separate from operations — every change had to make sense for customers, suppliers, and the people actually fulfilling orders.

Running MEBOTY.cz gave me hands-on experience of the entire e-commerce operation and helped me recognise both my strengths and weaknesses. That experience later shaped my work on other e-commerce projects.
