- Implementing a user-friendly interface with extensive customization options
- Developing a platform capable of handling complex product variables and pricing

- Crafting initial designs based on client sketches and refining them into professional mockups
- Selecting and customizing a Shopify theme to fit the specific needs of the blinds industry
- Designing a logo and brand identity that resonates with the target market
- Implementing a custom Shopify plugin to manage variable pricing effectively
