# Ark Luxury Oils - Project Context

## Overview
Ark Luxury Oils is a premium eCommerce platform specializing in traditional Indian attars, concentrated perfume oils, and fragrance-based luxury products.

## Tech Stack
- **Backend**: PHP (Vanilla) with MySQLi.
- **Frontend**: HTML5, Tailwind CSS v4 (Standalone CLI), Vanilla JavaScript.
- **Interactivity**: Swiper.js (for carousels), Lucide/FontAwesome (icons).
- **Architecture**: Multi-page Application (MPA) with a centralized `required/` directory for partials and functions.

## Key Directories
- `/assets/`: CSS, JS, and centralized storage.
  - `/assets/images/storage/`: Unified location for dynamic content (products, banners, categories).
- `/required/`: Core logic, SEO mapping (`seo.php`), and layout partials.
- `/auth/`: User authentication flows.
- `/content/`: Static information pages (Policies, FAQ).
- `/arkluxuryoils-admin/`: Backend management panel.

## Design Philosophy: "Continuous Canvas"
The UI uses overlapping sections, negative margins, and absolute-positioned elements (perfume bottles, floral textures) to create a seamless, high-end visual experience. Avoid standard stacking of sections; maintain the z-index hierarchy (`z-10` to `z-50`).

## Image Handling
Always use the `get_image($filename, $subfolder)` utility in `required/functions/images.php` to resolve image paths correctly across the frontend and admin.
