The brief
A summer store that feels as soft as the hats.
Wonder Kids needed a store that felt warm and playful, worked perfectly on a parent’s phone, and made it easy to find the right hat by type and by age, in the middle of a UAE summer.
What was built
A complete store, built from scratch.
3D scroll story
A three.js hat turns and rolls as you scroll, walking through fabric, reversible designs, real sun cover and beach days.
Full catalogue
All 231 products imported from the previous site, with descriptions, photos, subcategories and ages.
Shop filters
Category, age, search and sort filters, with colour variants grouped on one card.
UAE checkout
Emirate address form, free delivery over AED 199, Stripe cards and Apple Pay in AED, and cash on delivery.
Stock that stays right
Stock is reserved on order and released if a payment or order is cancelled.
Admin panel
Revenue and orders-to-ship dashboard, order status, and product uploads with drag-and-drop photos.
Stack
Simple, fast and fully owned.
Node.js and Express with a built-in SQLite database, three.js for the 3D scene, and Stripe Checkout for payments. The client owns all of the code, with no monthly platform fee.
