I’m ready to take my products online and need an experienced web developer to create a complete e-commerce site from the ground up. This falls squarely under software development—specifically web development—so everything from the storefront design to the back-end logic should be handled with best-practice code and a clean, responsive UI. Here’s what I need: • A modern, mobile-friendly storefront where customers can browse, filter, and add products (with variants) to their cart. • Secure, seamless checkout that supports at least credit cards and PayPal; additional gateways are welcome if you have easy integrations. • An admin dashboard for day-to-day tasks like product uploads, inventory tracking, order management, discount codes, and basic analytics. • Shipping and tax calculations that adjust automatically by location. • Basic on-page SEO setup and Google Analytics so I can start tracking traffic from day one. You’re free to propose the tech stack—Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, or a custom build with Laravel/React—so long as you can justify why it suits the project’s scale and future growth. Acceptance criteria: 1. Every user journey from landing page to completed order works flawlessly on both desktop and mobile. 2. Page loads stay under three seconds on a standard connection. 3. No console errors in the browser, and all forms validate properly. When the site is deployed to my hosting account, I’ll need a concise handover guide (screenshots or short Loom video are fine) to manage products and content myself. Please outline your preferred tools, timeline, and any milestones you’d suggest so we can hit the ground running.
