Just wrapped up this project for Raphbee & Co. >
Most e-commerce design is "minimalist/aesthetic," but for this one, I went for a Rugged & Professional vibe. Focused heavily on collection architecture to make browsing 100+ industrial SKUs feel seamless.

Key Specs:

Custom Shopify Liquid sections

High-trust UX for professional contractors

Optimized mobile navigation

Would love some feedback on the "Industrial" UI style!
