Add custom meal prep step by step to template website. Back and front end

Job ID: 39315804

Budget: £750 – £1,500 GBP

Company Background:
Lions Kitchen is a growing meal prep and delivery business based in London. Our goal is to bring healthy, culturally rich, and delicious food to our customers’ doors, inspired by Caribbean, West African, and American cuisines.

We are now ready to move beyond our current template website (built on XStore theme + Elementor Pro) and invest in a fully functional, scalable web solution that mirrors HelloFresh.com both in design and functionality.
