Project description:
"I'm looking for a Shopify expert who can set up an e-commerce website for my apparel and candle business using a pre-made template.

Key Requirements:
- Shopify platform proficiency
- Experience with e-commerce site setup
- Ability to customize pre-made templates
- Experience with SEO and mobile optimization is a plus

Create a dark, moody, story-driven ecommerce site that feels like a modern folklore book brought to life. The brand aesthetic is “lore-soaked, rooted, and minimal” rather than cute or trendy.
• Overall vibe: Deep, dark backgrounds (charcoal/black) with warm off-white “bone” text. Soft, subtle gradients or textures that feel like dusk in a forest, not neon or glossy.
• Typography: Serif, uppercase, wide-letterspaced headings (for a “chapter title” feel). Clean sans-serif for body copy. Headings should feel like old book chapter names.
• Layout: Simple, calm, and spacious. Sectioned like “chapters” instead of generic blocks. Each collection or drop should feel like its own story section, with room for lore text above products.
• Imagery: Candle and apparel photography against dark, neutral backgrounds, mixed with minimal lore icons (trees, lanterns, lighthouses, etc.). No bright colors, no clutter.
• UI elements: Rounded, pill-style buttons in light neutral tones that invert on hover (light to dark). Inputs and cards should be dark with soft borders, resembling old book margins or ritual cards.
• Tone: Everything should support storytelling: product pages prioritize the story and location first, scent/technical details second.

The site should feel like entering a quiet, curated story world where each product is a “chapter” in the Barrel & Bloom lore." (client-provided description)
