I’m ready to launch an online store and want the entire experience built as a custom solution rather than on Shopify or WooCommerce. The core of the project is a fully-functional e-commerce site whose first milestone is a secure, scalable back-end paired with a clean front-end that works flawlessly on desktop and mobile. The feature that matters most at this stage is a robust user-account system: registration, login, profile management, and the hooks necessary for order history and wish-listing down the line. While product catalogues, search, and a shopping-cart flow aren’t in this initial scope, I want the architecture set up so they can be added without re-engineering the whole stack. Build with the language, framework, and database you’re most comfortable scaling—whether that’s Node.js + React + MongoDB, Django + Postgres, or another modern stack—just be prepared to hand over clean, well-documented code and a brief walk-through of your design decisions. Deliverables • Source code in a private repo • Database schema and migration files • API documentation or Postman collection • Front-end implementation of the account/profile flow • Deployment instructions for a VPS or cloud instance I’ll test against these deliverables before sign-off, so please outline your timeline and any questions you need answered to get started.
