Shopify Website Development

Shopify Website Development
Project Overview

I want to build a premium eCommerce website for my brand using:

Shopify (backend) for product management, payments, orders
Custom-coded frontend (not a basic Shopify theme look)
My goal is a luxury, high-end, fast, and responsive website
Scope of Work
1. Custom Frontend Development
Build a fully custom frontend UI (luxury/premium design)
Do NOT use basic prebuilt Shopify themes directly
You may use frameworks like React / Next.js / HTML-CSS-JS, but final output must work with Shopify
Ensure:
Mobile responsive
Fast loading speed
Smooth animations (premium feel)
Clean UI/UX

2. Shopify Integration (IMPORTANT)
Convert or connect frontend to Shopify backend
Use one of the following:
Shopify Liquid (preferred), OR
Shopify Storefront API (headless approach)
Ensure:
Products sync with Shopify
Cart & checkout works via Shopify
Orders appear in Shopify dashboard
Payment gateway works (Shopify Payments / Razorpay / etc.)

3. Product Setup
Upload and organize all my products on Shopify:
Product titles
Descriptions
Pricing
Variants (if any)
Images
Set up:
Collections / categories
Navigation menus

4. Domain Setup
I already own a domain on GoDaddy
You must:
Connect domain to Shopify
Ensure SSL and proper setup
Make website live

5. Hosting & Deployment
You handle everything technical:
GitHub (if needed)
Deployment (Vercel / Netlify if headless)
Shopify theme upload
I do NOT want to manage coding or hosting manually

6. Important Constraints
Do NOT use Lovable (or require Lovable premium)
Do NOT require me to purchase any tools other than Shopify
Only Shopify subscription cost is allowed
Use free or included tools only
7. Deliverables
Fully working website (live)
Shopify backend fully configured
Admin access given to me
Clean, organized code (if applicable)
Basic guidance on how to:
Add products
Manage orders
8. Design Direction
Brand: Noir Avenue
Style:
Luxury
Minimal
Dark / elegant
Premium watch brand feel
9. Communication Expectations
Explain major steps clearly
Ask before making big changes
Deliver milestones:
Design preview
Frontend build
Shopify integration
Final launch


Bonus (Preferred but Optional)
Experience with Shopify headless
Experience in luxury brand websites
Performance optimization


Final Note

I want a done-for-me solution.

No hidden costs or extra subscriptions should be required.
