Story-Led Shopify Website

I’m launching Stori Books, a premium children’s book subscription and gifting brand, and I need a Shopify expert to turn our quiet, calming ethos into a simple yet sophisticated online experience. The brief is deliberately lean on features but high on taste: I want visitors to feel the narrative before they notice the cart.

On the homepage, brand storytelling is the clear priority. I’m picturing an editorial flow that blends warm photography, gentle sage-and-cream tones, and concise copy blocks that explain the “why” behind each book curation—images and words working together rather than one dominating the other. From there, the path should lead naturally to two key offerings: a one-off gift box and an ongoing subscription.

I’ll need you to:

• Design and build a mobile-first Shopify site (homepage plus product templates) that mirrors a calm, minimal magazine aesthetic.
• Configure a subscription solution—Shopify Subscriptions or a comparable app—so customers can start, pause, or cancel with ease.
• Set up basic on-page SEO, an email capture (Klaviyo or Shopify Email is fine), and hand over clear documentation so my team can update copy and products without code.

The timeline is roughly two weeks, though I’m flexible for the right creative partner. When you send your proposal, include:
– A brief note on why this story-centered approach suits your skill set.
– Links to past Shopify or premium e-commerce builds that show a refined, editorial style.
– Your quote in USD and exactly what’s covered.

If you love crafting storefronts where narrative comes first and commerce follows naturally, I’d love to hear from you.
