This is not a traditional ecommerce store with live stock counts or inventory syncing.

Design & Reference Direction

A competitor furniture outlet website will be provided as the primary reference for:

homepage layout

collection and catalog browsing experience

overall outlet-style UX and structure

Our parent company’s website will be used as the branding reference, including:

Your role is to customize the Shopify theme to align with these references, using the assets and direction we supply.

7. Checkout & Order Flow
