Do / Don't
Reference it for
- Warm off-white ground (#EFEDEA) plus one bright accent (#FF502D) as a friendly, skin-appropriate palette that still pops.
- Hand-drawn storefront / location illustrations to make a multi-location local business feel real and walk-in-able.
- A clean grotesque + DM Sans pairing that keeps a Shopify store looking editorial rather than templated.
- CSS-native zoom-fade and appear-up reveals: lightweight motion that needs no animation library.
- A genuine retail system (mega-menu, membership, reviews, press wall) presented calmly.
Do not copy
- The coral-red-on-warm-white palette and the specific storefront illustrations are Glowbar's identity; borrow the device, swap the colour and the drawings.
- BauPro is licensed; map to a similar geometric grotesque. DM Sans is open (Google Fonts) and reusable.
- The Shopify "Be Yours" theme residue (dozens of skeleton/loader keyframes, 70-plus custom properties) is platform overhead, not the design.
