Shopify Developer Needed - Interactive, Scroll-Based Homepage (Not a Basic Template Site)

I'm the founder of Chill Pill Charms- a fast-growing, viral sensory product brand built around interactive iSpy-style keychains. These are tiny, collectible “worlds” inside capsule-shaped keychains designed to be engaging, nostalgic, and calming.

This is not a typical ecommerce brand. The experience is everything to me.

My content performs extremely well on Instagram and Facebook because it’s interactive, curiosity-driven, and visually satisfying. I want my website to reflect that same feeling- not a flat, standard Shopify layout.

Please view my brand and content here:

I already have a Shopify theme installed. I am *not* looking for a full build from scratch.

I need someone to customize my homepage so it feels more like an interactive gallery experience (I want the overall feel of my site to feel fun and not static/sterile)

What I’m looking for:

A developer experienced with Shopify (Liquid, CSS, JS)

Ability to create layered sections (text overlapping images, depth)

Scroll-based effects (parallax, subtle motion, visual transitions)

Someone who understands how to make a page feel dynamic, not static

Strong visual taste - not just technical execution

Homepage vision:

The homepage should feel:

immersive

playful

curiosity-driven

slightly chaotic (in a fun way)

like you want to keep scrolling to “discover” more

Ex:

overlapping elements

movement as you scroll

sections that don’t feel like rigid blocks

a “gallery” or “exploration” vibe rather than a standard store

Other pages:

Shop page can remain clean and functional (this is for conversion)

My brand story can be integrated into the homepage

Important:

I am *not* looking for:

a basic theme setup

a generic Shopify store

a “clean corporate” aesthetic

I need someone who can help elevate the existing theme into something visually engaging and unique.

To apply, please include:

Examples of Shopify sites you’ve customized (especially with motion or layered design)

Any work with scroll effects or interactive elements

A quick note on how you would approach making a homepage feel more dynamic

Budget:

Flexible for the right fit, but this is a customization project - not a full build. Looking for entry level to intermediate.

IMPORTANT:

I have a deadline of May 7th due to a campaign partnership launching with a big brand! So I am looking for someone with a fairly open schedule! Thank you!!
