Requirements

The client is looking to build a new Shopify storefront from the ground up for a premium dog apparel brand. The goal is to create a clean and visually balanced shopping experience that effectively highlights product details, styling, and brand identity.

The Challenge

The project was built entirely on Shopify's default Dawn theme, requiring us to work within its structural limitations while customizing layouts and functionality to meet brand expectations.

In addition, the client wanted subtle scroll-based animations that would enhance the user experience without overwhelming it.
