Shopify Designer/Developer for Children’s Adventure Membership Website (Digital/Physical Products)
Shopify Designer/Developer for Children’s Adventure Membership Website (Digital + Physical Products)
Project Overview
We are building a website for Captain Heaney’s Adventure Club (CHAC) — a family-run, outdoor adventure brand that provides screen-free, story-based adventure experiences for kids ages 6–11.
The website will function as:
•A public marketing site (brand story, how it works, blog)
• An e-commerce store selling:
o Digital adventure downloads (PDFs and resources)
o Physical merchandise and adventure tools
• A members-only portal with login access, subscriptions, gated content, and downloadable resources
We are looking for an experienced Shopify designer/developer who can both build the site and recommend the appropriate Shopify apps to support memberships, subscriptions, and digital content delivery.
Platform & Required Experience
• Shopify (core platform)
• Shopify customer accounts
• Shopify digital + physical products
• Shopify subscriptions / memberships
• Shopify apps & integrations
• Shopify theme customization (Liquid/CSS preferred, but no custom backend required)
Scope of Work
1. Design & UX
• Implement a clean, adventure-themed, family-friendly design
• Fully responsive (desktop + mobile)
• Clear navigation separating:
o Public content
o Shop
o Members-only area
• Branding (logo, colors, fonts) will be fully provided
We are not looking for copywriting — we will supply content — but we do want design/layout guidance and UX best practices.

3. E-Commerce Setup
• Shopify checkout and payment setup
• One-time purchase digital products

• Basic shipping and tax setup (U.S.-focused)
4. Membership & Subscription Functionality
• Recommend and implement appropriate Shopify apps for:
o Memberships
o Recurring subscriptions (monthly / annual)
o Gated content
• Configure:
o Member login

Active subscription
Individual adventure purchases

5. Digital Content Delivery
• Recommend and implement a digital delivery system (e.g., Sky Pilot or similar)
• Ensure users only see/download content they’ve purchased
• Organize adventures into a clean Adventure Library
• Set up base content that is available to all members
• Set up custom embedded map functions (consumer enters address, generates map, and embeds into other document)
6. Documentation & Handoff
• Provide basic documentation or a walkthrough covering:
o Adding new adventures
o Uploading new digital content
o Managing memberships/subscriptions
• Goal is to enable us to add content ourselves after launch
7. Post-Launch Support

o Apps function correctly
o Any bugs or conflicts are resolved
• Ongoing support can be discussed separately (retainer or hourly)
Timeline
