I already have a functioning WordPress site for my small—but busy—antique shop. The developer who built it did a solid job on the core pages, yet the theme he used feels like a generic starting point. What I need now is a purpose-built theme that reflects the character of our store, loads quickly, and is effortless for my wife and me to update. I will share a reference design that captures the look and feel we love; think warm vintage accents, elegant typography, and an intuitive product grid that highlights each piece without clutter. Your job is to translate that mood into a custom, responsive WordPress theme coded to modern standards (HTML5, CSS3, PHP, a sprinkle of JavaScript where it helps usability). Please avoid heavy page-builder bloat—we want lean templates that still play nicely with Gutenberg blocks and the usual plug-ins (WooCommerce, Yoast, Akismet). Key deliverables • Complete theme files (parent or well-documented child) ready for upload • Editable header, footer, and homepage sections so we can swap banners and announcements ourselves • Product archive and single-item layouts that make images pop and encourage enquiries or checkout • Styling for blog posts and static info pages (about, contact, map) • Cross-browser responsiveness and Lighthouse performance scores in the green • Brief hand-off guide outlining theme options and update steps I will provide site access, the current theme, high-resolution photos of our inventory, and the reference design link once we begin. If this sounds like your craft, please tell me which recent WordPress theme project you’re proudest of and the tools you leaned on to build it.
