Overview
A fashion store that sells while the team sleeps
HINT Lifestyle makes panjabis, polos and everyday wear that mix Bangladeshi tradition with a modern cut. Its fans found it on social media, but every order started as a message. We built a clean, fast online store, plus the backend and admin panel behind it, so orders, stock and pages are handled in one place.

The story
From problem
to product
The problem
01
Orders in the inbox, stock in a notebook
HINT had a strong look and loyal followers, but sold through chat. Every order was typed by hand, stock was checked by eye, and nobody could see what sold best. There was no place to show the whole range, so the brand could not grow past its social pages.
How we did it
02
Start with the shop, then give the team the controls
We began with the brand: quiet colours, big photos and plenty of space, so the clothes do the talking. Then we built one backend for products, prices, stock, customers and orders. The shop and the admin panel both sit on top of it, so a change made by the team shows on the site within a minute.
The result
03
A store the team runs themselves
Shoppers pick a category, find a piece, choose a size and pay cash on delivery. The order lands in the admin panel with its items and customer, ready to pack. The team edits products, banners and pages without calling a developer.
03
What we built
Shop, backend and admin
Three parts that work as one: the online store, the commerce backend and the admin panel.
01 — Catalogue
A shop that looks like the brand
Quiet colours, big photos and clear menus. Every category has its own page with a grid that is easy to scan on a phone.
02 — Search
Find anything in seconds
A search page that answers as you type, with quick filters for category, price and what is in stock.
03 — Checkout
Check out in three steps
Your details, delivery, payment. Cash on delivery is built in, guests can order without an account, and the server checks every price.
And also
01
Sizes, colours and photos
Each product shows several photos and lets you pick a size and colour before adding it to the bag.
02
Customer accounts
Sign up, see past orders and reset a password, so regulars can reorder fast.
03
Recently viewed
Pieces you looked at are remembered, so shoppers can find their way back.
04
Club sign-up
A newsletter box in the footer grows the mailing list, and repeat sign-ups are handled politely.
05
Delivery rates
Shipping is priced by area and added to the total before the order is placed.
06
Stock that stays right
Every order takes from stock, and sold-out sizes are marked so nobody orders what is gone.
07
Edit pages yourself
Hero, category tiles and banners are edited in the panel and published when ready.
04
Behind the site
Its own backend
and admin panel
HINT runs on a backend and admin panel built for the shop. The team handles orders, products, pages and Google from one place.
01 — Admin panel
Every order in one list
New, packed and delivered orders in one table. Filter by status, date or district, then open an order to print or send it out.
02 — CMS
Change the site yourself
The home page is made of sections. Edit a heading, swap a picture or change a button, save a draft, then publish.
03 — Backend
A fast API of its own
Products, categories, orders and customers live in the shop's own database. The website reads them through a private API with keys and a call log.
04 — SEO
Ready for Google
Every page has its own title, description and share picture, with a Google preview and a score, and a sitemap that updates itself.
05
Gallery
A closer
look
6 pictures — swipe or use the arrows. Tap one to see it full size.
06
Tech stack
Fast on any phone
The store is a Next.js app that loads quickly on mobile data. The backend is Node.js and MongoDB, with photos kept on cloud storage and served fast. Pages are cached and refresh by themselves after every edit.
