I want to launch an online store that sells physical goods and conveys the warmth of a classic, traditional retail experience. The entire site needs to be designed and developed from scratch, including a polished front-end and a straightforward admin area where I can add or edit products without touching code. The visual direction: think timeless typography, balanced white space, muted color palettes and clean lines—something that feels trustworthy rather than trendy. Responsive behaviour across desktop, tablet and mobile is a must so customers can browse comfortably on any device. Core functionality I expect on day one: • Shopping cart with secure, streamlined checkout • Product reviews so buyers can share feedback • Live chat support integrated (a SaaS solution is fine) Please configure payment gateways (credit/debit cards plus PayPal), basic tax/shipping rules and an email notification system for order status updates. SEO-ready page structure, Google Analytics setup and clear documentation of how to manage inventory will round out the build. I’m platform-agnostic as long as the final solution is stable, scalable and stays true to the classic aesthetic—feel free to propose Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, or a custom stack if you can justify the choice. Provide a realistic timeline, outline any milestone hand-offs, and link to past stores you’ve crafted in a similar style so I can see your touch.
