I’m turning a well-defined business concept into a WordPress store and I want a developer who can help me build the first release and stay on for future growth. The initial milestone is straightforward: create a robust product catalog with a seamless checkout flow. WooCommerce (or a comparable solution) feels like the natural fit, but I’m open to your recommendations if you have proven alternatives. From day one the store must be: • Fast, responsive and secure • Easy for my team to update products, prices and promotions • Ready for straightforward payment-gateway integration—PayPal and Stripe are top of mind, though I’m happy to consider others you’ve implemented successfully Shipping, inventory management and subscription add-ons aren’t required in the very first sprint, yet I’d like the codebase and architecture to anticipate them so we don’t paint ourselves into a corner when we scale. Please send over a brief note outlining: 1. Similar WordPress or WooCommerce shops you have launched (live URLs or screenshots are fine). 2. The specific role you played—theme development, custom plugin work, performance tuning, etc. 3. Any long-term engagements where you maintained or iterated on an e-commerce site. I’m flexible on payment structure—fixed price, hourly, or milestone-based—let’s discuss what makes sense once we’ve aligned on scope. Looking forward to seeing your work and exploring how we can build something great together.
