I need a complete e-commerce website built from the ground up. The goal is to launch a polished online store with secure checkout, inventory tracking, and basic reporting. While I’ve confirmed that a “Website” is the right route and the site’s primary purpose is “E-commerce,” I haven’t locked myself into a specific platform yet—Shopify, WooCommerce, or Magento are all on the table if you can justify why one fits my scale, budget, and growth plans better than the others. Scope of work • Visual design: Clean, responsive storefront that reflects my existing brand assets. • Core build: Product catalog, cart, payment gateway (credit card, PayPal), shipping and tax configuration. • Essential integrations: Email notifications, basic analytics, and SEO-friendly structure. • Handover: Admin credentials and a quick walkthrough so I can manage products and orders myself. Acceptance criteria • Live, fully functional store accessible on all major browsers and devices. • Transactions process end-to-end with real payment gateway in sandbox mode, then live mode. • Page load times under three seconds on desktop and mobile (measured with Google PageSpeed). • Brief handoff documentation covering routine updates and backups. I’m ready to move quickly and would like to launch within four to six weeks. Let me know which platform you recommend, what milestones you’d set, and any examples of similar stores you’ve recently delivered.
