Shopify Developer — Custom Brand Build for Beauty Salon & Training Business

Type: One-off project (fixed price, not ongoing) Budget: $600 USD, fixed price for full scope Timeline: 2–3 weeks from start Payment: Milestone-based — deposit to start, balance on completion once the site is live and tested

About the business
-I run a premium brow & lash salon in Australia and I also train and educate other beauty therapists in person. I need a Shopify site that's fully customised to my brand and creative direction — clean, premium, and consistent. This is not a drag-and-drop template job. I care about design and detail.
-I'll provide branding (logos, colours, fonts), photography, and all written content. I need someone who can take that and build it into a polished, functional site.

What I need built
1. Fully custom-branded Shopify site Designed to my brand and creative direction — not a generic theme. Premium, clean, mobile-first.
2. Services showcase A clear section presenting each treatment I offer, with:
Description
Price
Contraindications
Treatment prep
Aftercare
Laid out so clients can easily read and understand each service.
3. Location & how to find me A clear location section — where I'm based, how to get there, map integration.

4. Lead capture + Flodesk integration (important)
A free offer / lead magnet opt-in to get people to subscribe
Subscriber data must flow straight into my Flodesk account automatically
Data must be segmented so I can tell students apart from clients (e.g. separate forms/tags for each)
Bonus (paid extra or factored in): actually set up my Flodesk — forms, segments, and the welcome/delivery flow for the free offer

5. Book & pay for in-person training
A section with full details on my training — what it includes, etc.
People can book straight in and select a training date
They must pay a deposit to hold the date (not full price — deposit only)
Needs a Shopify booking/appointment app that supports date selection + deposits (e.g. Sesami, Appointo, or your recommendation)

• payment plan set up

6. Reviews & social proof
Integrate my Google reviews
Integrate my Instagram feed to showcase recent work

Who I'm looking for (please only apply if this is you)
I want someone genuinely experienced and confident with Shopify & integrations— not someone learning on my project. That means one of the following:
A relevant degree or formal qualification (web development, design, IT, or similar), OR
2+ years of hands-on Shopify build experience, OR
A strong portfolio proving you can confidently deliver the full scope below on your own
If you can't confidently handle the booking-with-deposits setup and the Flodesk integration without hand-holding, this isn't the right job for you.

Must-have skills
Proven Shopify custom theme/development experience (send your portfolio)
Experience integrating email marketing platforms (Flodesk ideal, or similar like Klaviyo/Mailchimp)
Strong eye for design — able to follow brand & creative direction, not just build functionally
Good written English and clear communication

To apply — please include (I will ignore applications that skip this)
Your qualification or years of experience — degree/certification, or how many years you've built Shopify sites
Links to 2–3 Shopify sites you've built (bonus if any are beauty, salon, or service-based)
Confirm you've done booking + deposit setups before, and name the app you'd use for mine
Confirm you've integrated Flodesk or a similar email platform before
Your fixed price for this full scope, and whether Flodesk setup is included or extra
How long you'd need to complete it (max payment 600usd)
Start the top of your reply with the word "BROWS" so I know you read the whole post
