EcomContemporary storefront — product discovery, bag and checkout for the North Tech suite.
01The idea
A storefront that can finish the sale.
Catalogue, cart and checkout are treated as one product — not a brand essay with a shop widget taped on.
- 01
Checkout preview
The bag can be tested before a commerce platform is connected.
- 02
Story as support
Provenance never replaces the path into the cart.
- 03
Shop first
Catalogue, price and add-to-bag sit on the first screen.
02Information architecture
Shopping mental models first.
IA follows how people actually shop — browse, filter, add, return to cart — with the brand essay deliberately placed second.

Knit that shops from the first screen.

03Product experience
Shop. Bag. Checkout.
- Shop
Photography and price sit on the first screen — not colour swatches.
- Bag
Quantity and total already behave like a working shop.
- Checkout
Preview the order without taking a payment.
04What North Tech builds
A commerce product, not a lookbook.
The Ecom template is rebuilt as a working storefront: structured catalogue, a bag that updates, editorial that still sells, and a front-end that can plug into a commerce platform without redesigning the shop.
Catalogue CMS
Products, fabric and price as structured merchandising — one record drives the card, the bag and the PDP.
Lookbook merchandising
Editorial photography that still shops. Story sits beside the grid, not instead of it.
Cart & checkout
Add, quantity and a labelled checkout preview. The bag already behaves like a shop before payments are connected.
Platform-ready front-end
A converted Ecom storefront ready for Shopify, Snipcart or a headless checkout — layout settled before the integration layer.
05Production ready
Designed as a front-end foundation.
Built to connect to a real catalogue, payments, inventory and abandoned-cart email. This mock settles layout and interaction first so the platform choice comes second.

Shopify, a headless PIM, or a JSON feed can replace the in-file products.

The bag already holds quantity and total. Payments attach at this handoff.
- 03Retention
Care notes and abandoned-cart email sit ready once a provider is chosen.
