Custom High-Volume Store

I already hold a Shopify account and need a fully custom storefront built for physical goods that can comfortably scale under heavy traffic spikes. The project covers both design and development, so the theme must be created from scratch rather than re-skinned from an existing template.

Core features I expect on launch include:
• Live chat support integrated natively into the theme
• Multiple payment gateways configured and tested (Stripe, PayPal, plus any region-specific options you recommend)
• A countdown timer that can be assigned to the header that will remain visible throughout the user experience.
• Built-in product launch and expiry scheduling so I can automate limited-time drops

Beyond those items, the usual best-practice elements—responsive layouts, fast page speed, SEO-ready markup, and clear analytics tracking—should be baked in from day one. I’ll supply product data, branding assets, and copy; you translate that into a polished experience using Liquid, HTML / CSS, and any lightweight JavaScript required.

Deliverables
1. Custom Shopify theme files (Liquid, CSS, JS) ready to publish
2. All requested functionalities running in a live staging store and demonstrated via screen share
3. Handover documentation that explains how I can update products, timers, and payment settings myself and full ownership of code and site.

Acceptance will be based on a fully functioning storefront that loads quickly under stress tests, processes test orders end-to-end, and matches our visual guidelines. If you have apps or tech stacks that simplify maintenance without bloat, let’s discuss them during kickoff.
