Animated Multi-Brand WordPress Site

I’m building a single WordPress site that acts as the home for several e-commerce brands we operate. The brief is full-cycle: design, develop, and get it live on a reliable host. I want the browsing experience to feel energetic—think dynamic, eye-catching animations that guide visitors through each brand section without distracting from the products.

The structure will need room for multiple catalog-style pages (one per brand), clear navigation that ties them together. I’m open to your advice on the best mix of native WordPress features, premium themes, or custom blocks, but the final build must be lightweight, responsive, and SEO friendly.

Animations can be handled with GSAP, Lottie, or CSS scroll effects—as long as they’re smooth on mobile as well as desktop. Please factor in performance optimization, security hardening, and a hosting setup that can scale with traffic spikes across all brands.

Deliverables
• Custom WordPress theme (or child theme) with branded landing pages
• Animation prototypes approved before full rollout
• Full site build, QA on modern browsers/devices, speed tuned
• Hosting configuration, SSL, backups, and a hand-off guide

Let me know your proposed timeline, any similar animated WordPress projects you’ve done, and the tools you plan to use so we can get started right away.
