Project description:
"ELEGANT GENERAL TRADING (ElegantGT)
Enterprise Multi-Commodity CMS Platform

“One backend. Unlimited commodities. Fully editable.”

1. CORE IDEA (VERY IMPORTANT)

ElegantGT is NOT:

a brochure website

a single-industry site

ElegantGT IS:

a multi-commodity trading platform

a catalog + enquiry engine

a credibility system for buyers & partners

built to scale into any product category without code changes

This platform must support:

Vegetables

Edible oils

Perfumes & fragrances

Auto spare parts

Industrial goods

FMCG

Any future commodity

All through one clean CMS.

2. TECH STACK (LOCKED & SAFE)

Backend: Laravel (latest LTS)

Frontend: Blade + Tailwind CSS

Database: MySQL

CMS Type: Fully custom (NO WordPress, NO React)

Hosting: cPanel / VPS friendly

Storage: Local (S3-ready later)

Auth: Admin only (roles ready)

3. NON-NEGOTIABLE CMS RULE

If it appears on the website, it must be editable from the admin panel.

This includes:

Text

Images

Sections

Page layouts

Category structure

Product details

Buttons & CTAs

Menus

SEO

Ordering & visibility

No hardcoded frontend
No fixed layouts
No developer dependency after launch

4. GLOBAL ADMIN CONTROL (ENTERPRISE LEVEL)

Admin must control everything brand-level:

Company name

Logos (light / dark)

Brand colors

Accent colors

Fonts

Header & footer content

Contact details

WhatsApp number

Email addresses

Social links

Google Maps embed

Legal footer text

Global CTA labels

5. MENU & NAVIGATION CMS

Footer menu (CMS-managed)

Nested menus

Drag-and-drop ordering

Enable / disable menu items

Category-linked menu items

6. MASTER CATEGORY SYSTEM (THE HEART)
6.1 COMMODITY GROUPS (TOP LEVEL)

Admin can create unlimited commodity groups, for example:

Vegetables

Edible Oils

Perfumes & Fragrances

Auto Spare Parts

Industrial Supplies

FMCG Products

Each group has:

Name

SEO

Status (active/inactive)

6.2 SUB-CATEGORIES (UNLIMITED DEPTH)

Each commodity group can have infinite nesting.

Example:

Onions

Potatoes

Tomatoes

Leafy Vegetables

Edible Oils

Sunflower Oil

Palm Oil

Olive Oil

Auto Spare Parts

Engine Parts

Cooling System

Filters

Electrical Components

No limit. No code change.

7. PRODUCT / ITEM SYSTEM (VERY POWERFUL)

Each product / commodity item must support:

BASIC

Product name

Assigned category & subcategory

Short description

Long description

Status (active / hidden / draft)

MEDIA

Main image

Gallery (multiple images)

Documents (PDF, spec sheets, certificates)

Custom attributes (key-value)

CTA & ENQUIRY

Each product has a dedicated detail page generated automatically.

9. MEDIA LIBRARY (CLEAN & SAFE)

Central media library

Reuse images across pages

Safe deletion warnings

Automatic thumbnails

Image alt-text (SEO)

10. ADMIN USABILITY (VERY IMPORTANT)

Admin panel must be:

Non-technical friendly

Clear field labels

No raw JSON editing

Validation on all inputs

Search inside admin

Manual sort order everywhere

11. QUALITY & SAFETY FEATURES

Draft / Published / Hidden states

Duplicate product & page

Graceful empty states

Fallback if data missing

Clean error handling

Version-ready structure

12. DESIGN EXPECTATION (LOCKED)

Corporate

Premium

International

Clean spacing

Strong typography

Neutral base with elegant accents

No flashy gimmicks

No template look

This should look like a global trading company, not a local catalog.

13. FUTURE READY (NO REBUILD)

This system must support later:

More commodities

More countries

More languages

Dealer logins

Pricing modules

Analytics

API access

Without restructuring." (client-provided description)
