1. Project Overview We are building a high-performance, premium WooCommerce store for dealsmart.in from scratch (no migration involved). This will be a dropshipping-first eCommerce setup, sourcing products primarily from Ekomn and DeoDap. The core focus is: Blazing-fast performance Minimalist, premium UI Conversion-focused user experience This is not a typical dropshipping website—we are aiming for a clean, brand-first, boutique-style store. 2. Performance Requirements (Critical) Performance is the top priority. The site must handle paid traffic efficiently without performance drops. Targets: Google PageSpeed Score: 95+ Mobile 98+ Desktop Fully Loaded Time: < 1.5 seconds Technical Expectations: Lightweight setup (Hello Elementor / Bricks / Gutenberg / custom stack) Avoid bloated themes and unnecessary plugins Server-level optimization (critical) Optimization Scope: Full-page caching + object caching (Redis/Memcached) Image optimization (WebP, lazy loading) Minification (CSS/JS) Database optimization Server Environment: Linux VPS (2GB RAM / 2 Core CPU) You must configure and optimize WordPress for this environment 3. Data Sourcing & Inventory Management The store must integrate seamlessly with two suppliers: Ekomn Integration Setup WooCommerce plugin/API Automated: Product import Inventory sync Order forwarding DeoDap Workflow Bulk product import via CSV Clean mapping of: Attributes Categories Images Ensure consistency with minimalist UI (no messy product pages) Stock Management Real-time or scheduled sync Prevent out-of-stock sales 4. Design & UI/UX Direction We are aiming for a premium minimalist aesthetic. Design Principles: Clean layouts with strong whitespace Modern typography No clutter or “cheap dropshipping look” Animations: Subtle, high-end micro-interactions Use CSS3 / GSAP Scroll-based reveals and hover effects Must NOT impact performance Mobile Experience (Very Important): Mobile-first design App-like smoothness Sticky “Buy Now” CTA on product pages Simplified navigation 5.
