I want to launch a fully-functional online store on Shopify and need a developer who can take the project from blank account to checkout-ready storefront. The platform decision is final—Shopify—so every choice you make should align with its best practices, Liquid templating, and the app ecosystem. Here’s what I need done: • Store setup: theme installation or custom theme development, navigation, and essential pages (home, catalog, product, cart, checkout). • Product framework: sample products configured so I can easily duplicate the structure. • Payments & shipping: native Shopify Payments activated, plus at least one alternative gateway, real-time shipping rates configured where possible. • Apps & integrations: core marketing and analytics apps (email capture, reviews, Google Analytics/GA4) connected and tested. • Mobile optimisation and speed tweaks: the store should score well on Shopify’s own performance reports. • Handover: brief video or written guide showing me how to add products, set discounts, and process orders. Please keep the theme clean, responsive, and fast, and use minimal external scripts unless they add measurable value. Once complete, I’ll handle ongoing content and inventory; you focus on delivering a polished, ready-to-launch store.
