FireRed.shop is the digital flagship for FireRed, a premium global spice emporium celebrating heat, culture, and craftsmanship. This is not a basic Shopify store and not a template flip. FireRed is designed as an immersive, high-end experience — a modern spice market where hot sauces, spicy foods, curated heat boxes, and global culinary stories converge under one cinematic, luxury aesthetic. We are seeking a high-caliber Shopify designer/developer who understands brand discipline, conversion psychology, and premium UI/UX — and who takes pride in building something exceptional. Brand Vision FireRed is bold, refined, and intentional. Tone & Mood Dark luxury aesthetic (charcoal / black base) Ember reds and gold accents Rustic textures, global influence, artisan storytelling Confident, elegant, never gimmicky Brand Positioning “Taste the Fire of Every Nation.” FireRed is a curated experience, not a discount store.
