I need a sleek, conversion-focused WooCommerce store built from the ground up. The site’s core purpose is e-commerce, so every design and development choice must guide visitors smoothly from browsing to checkout. I already know WooCommerce is the right platform for me, and the critical piece I want you to handle is seamless payment gateway integration—credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or whichever processor we decide is best for my market. The layout has to be fully responsive, fast, and intuitive on both mobile and desktop. While product search tools and user-generated reviews might come later, my immediate priority is a polished storefront with category pages, product detail pages, cart, and secure checkout, all styled to match my brand guidelines. Deliverables • Custom WordPress + WooCommerce theme (no bloated templates) • Payment gateway fully configured and tested in sandbox and live mode • Core pages: Home, Shop, Product, Cart, Checkout, My Account • Basic on-page SEO and speed optimisation (caching, image compression) • Handover package: admin credentials, documentation, and brief walkthrough video Acceptance Criteria – Store loads in ≤3 s on GTmetrix for key pages – Payment transactions process without errors in at least two live test purchases – Design displays correctly on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, iOS, and Android If you’re confident with WooCommerce hooks, custom PHP, and modern UI/UX standards, let’s get started.
