Our gold-trading firm would like to launch a premium, mobile-first site that radiates trust and sophistication while meeting strict regulatory standards. The finished product must feel luxury and dynamic, pairing luxury finishes and subtle animations with enterprise-grade security so visitors immediately sense that their assets and data are protected. Core goals The site’s primary purpose is to enhance brand trust. Every page—from live bullion prices to the checkout flow—should reinforce our reputation for transparency, stability, and compliance (KYC/AML ready out of the box). Key functionality • Live feed of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium prices with millisecond refresh • Secure customer accounts: ID upload, two-factor auth, encrypted data at rest and in transit • E-commerce module for bars and coins, supporting credit cards, wire, and crypto wallets • On-boarding workflow that triggers KYC checks automatically before the first purchase • News and analysis hub with an easy-to-update CMS • Story and services pages featuring high-resolution imagery, timeline animations, FAQ, and policy documents • Full responsiveness across iOS, Android, and desktop, tested on the latest Chrome, Safari, and Edge • WCAG-compliant accessibility and GDPR adherence Design direction Expect deep blacks, brushed-metal gradients, and accent gold tones balanced by generous white space. Micro-interactions (hover glints on buttons, price-ticker slide-ins) should feel tasteful, never distracting. Performance must stay under 2 s on 4G per Google Lighthouse. Tech expectations React or Vue on the front end, Node.js or a comparable secure back end, plus a price-feed API (e.g., Metals-API). PostgreSQL preferred for data integrity; cloud deployment on AWS or GCP with auto-scaling and WAF. CI/CD pipelines and a brief hand-over session are part of the scope. Acceptance criteria 1. All listed features functional in staging and production. 2. Lighthouse performance ≥ 90, accessibility ≥ 95. 3. Passed penetration test summary provided. 4. Admin guide (PDF or Markdown) covering content edits, user management, and compliance checks. If this fits your skill set, share a concise outline of your proposed stack, timeline, and any similar luxury-industry builds you’ve completed.
