About Us
Pier St. Barth is a luxury resortwear brand with a global audience. Our current site (https://pierstbarth.com/) is performing well during peak season, so we do not want to modify the live store. Instead, we are building a new Shopify store on pierstbarth.ae, which will eventually serve the Dubai market.

We need an experienced Shopify developer to build a complete Shopify site using the Impulse Theme, ensuring:
- A clean, luxury, high-end look consistent with our existing brand identity
- All Shopify best practices are followed
- The site is fully optimised for SEO technical fundamentals (I will guide where required)
- The structure supports our existing long-form content on collection pages and product description pages
- A seamless handover to our internal team for content uploads and ongoing management
- The build will take place on the .AE store, keeping our current .com store untouched.
