New Online Store Website

I’m launching a brand-new business and need an e-commerce site built from the ground up. The shop will feature physical products, so visitors must be able to browse a catalog, add items to a cart, and check out smoothly. For payments I only need credit and debit card processing at this stage—Stripe, Square, or another reliable gateway is fine as long as it’s PCI-compliant and easy for me to manage. Shipping can start simple with a single standard option. A flat-rate or weight-based setup that calculates automatically at checkout and emails tracking details is all that’s required for now. Clean, modern design that’s mobile-first, SEO-ready, and secured with SSL is important. I also want an intuitive admin panel where I can add new products, update inventory, and review orders without touching code. Deliverables • Live, fully functional e-commerce website on my hosting • Integrated credit/debit card gateway, tested end-to-end • Standard shipping rules configured and verified • Brief hand-off guide (written or video) showing product and order management Include in your proposal the platform you recommend—Shopify, WooCommerce, or a lightweight custom solution—and an estimated timeline for each milestone.
