The project centres on building a secure, scalable e-commerce website from the ground up. I have product data and branding ready; everything else—from the storefront’s UI to the back-end order workflow—needs to be developed and deployed. Core requirements • Modern, responsive front end that renders flawlessly on desktop and mobile • Intuitive product catalogue with search, filtering and variant handling • Shopping cart, secure checkout and real-time payment gateway integration (credit card and PayPal at minimum) • Admin area for inventory, pricing, order and customer management • SEO-friendly architecture and clean URL structure • Deployment to a cloud host with SSL, performance optimisation and basic analytics connected Tech stack Open to popular e-commerce frameworks or custom builds. If you prefer Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Laravel, Node.js/React or a comparable stack, outline why it fits and how you’ll keep it maintainable. Acceptance criteria • Every major user flow (browse, add to cart, checkout, confirmation) is fully tested and bug-free • Site scores A on GTmetrix or similar tools and passes Google Mobile-Friendly Test • Admin tasks (add product, update inventory, refund order) can be completed without code changes • Source code, database schema and deployment instructions are delivered in a version-controlled repository Time and milestone suggestions are welcome so we can split the work into logical phases—design prototype, MVP launch and final hardening.
