My current store still sits on an aging WordPress install and every core or PHP update is a gamble: plugins clash, layouts break and security patches never feel quite enough. I’m ready to leave that cycle behind and move to a modern e-commerce stack that can live happily on my shared-hosting plan, scale quickly when traffic spikes, and stay secure without constant developer intervention. I’m open on the platform. Whether Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce or another forward-looking solution, I need your recommendation and the reasoning behind it. The key is that a non-technical person (me) must be able to add products, run promotions and apply routine updates with confidence. Design expectations • The look should be modern and clean, with intuitive, user-friendly navigation. • Mobile responsiveness is essential—most of my traffic is already coming from phones. Core features to build in • Product reviews and ratings that I can moderate. • A fast, advanced search so visitors can find items instantly. Beyond that, page speed, SEO-ready markup, and rock-solid security practices should be baked in from day one; the goal is to replicate the “never-hacked” peace of mind I enjoyed back when the site was plain HTML. Deliverables 1. Fully configured online store on the recommended platform, launched on my existing hosting. 2. Custom theme matching the design goals above. 3. Documentation (video or written) showing how I can handle future updates, add products and keep the system patched. 4. A hand-over session to walk me through daily operations. Please explain why your chosen platform fits my upkeep, security and scalability requirements, outline your build timeline, and point to live stores you’ve delivered with similar objectives. I’ll review proposals and get back quickly—looking forward to a solution that finally lets me focus on sales, not site upkeep.
