Blooms & Beyond was a working Shopify shop. I rebuilt its Liquid storefront in **Hydrogen** while Shopify kept products, carts, checkout, customers, and store operations.

## Before And After

### Homepage

The new home page leads with delivery, search, categories, occasions, a campaign, and bestsellers.

Move the divider to compare the Liquid theme and Hydrogen rebuild.

### Collection Browsing

Collections now keep category links, stock, price, sort, and layout controls near the product grid.

### Product Page

The product page puts the gallery, price, variants, gift note, quantity, delivery help, cart, FAQs, and recommendations in one order.

### Mobile Shopping

Mobile keeps the menu, cart, location, search, categories, products, and support actions within reach.

## Commerce Architecture

| Layer | Work |
|---|---|
| Shopify | Keeps products, collections, customers, carts, checkout, and admin data. |
| Hydrogen | Owns routes, loaders, product UI, cart actions, search, and customer pages. |
| Storefront API | Supplies typed catalog and content data to each route. |
| Oxygen | Runs the production storefront and its release workflow. |

The quick cart supports add, update, and remove actions. Product choices stay in the URL. Gift notes use cart line values, and order notes stay editable in the cart.

## Delivery And Support

Eligible orders show same-day Jammu delivery. The cart states the 15 km delivery area and builds a cart-aware WhatsApp quote for longer routes.

WhatsApp also supports urgent timing, detailed personalization, address questions, and product changes before checkout.

## SEO And Release Checks

The shared SEO helper creates titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, social metadata, and route rules. Product, organization, search, and florist JSON-LD describe key pages.

Sitemap routes cover products, pages, collections, blogs, and articles. Account pages use `noindex` and `no-store` rules.

The release workflow installs dependencies, runs lint, tests, type checks, builds the Hydrogen app, and deploys to Oxygen.
