I’m ready to launch a brand-new online store and need a skilled PHP developer to take it from concept to live site. The brief is straightforward: build an e-commerce website from scratch using PHP and a MySQL back-end, keeping the code clean, well-documented, and future-proof. I will supply the branding assets, wireframes, and full product catalogue. You’ll translate those into a responsive storefront, set up the database, and configure an intuitive admin area so I can manage inventory, orders, and content on my own. While core elements such as a shopping cart, user authentication, and payment gateway integration are on my roadmap, I’m open to your recommendations on the best order and tools—whether that means vanilla PHP or a framework like Laravel or CodeIgniter. Deliverables • Fully functional PHP e-commerce site deployed on my hosting • Source code repository and SQL schema • Setup & hand-over documentation (incl. environment requirements and deployment steps) Acceptance criteria • Pages load in under 2 seconds on standard broadband • Checkout flow is secure (HTTPS enforced, input sanitised, no critical OWASP issues) • Site renders correctly on the latest Chrome, Firefox, and Safari An MVP in three weeks with two interim reviews would be ideal. When you respond, please share links to similar PHP-based stores you’ve built and note which frameworks or libraries you used.
