E-Commerce Site with Python & JS

I need a complete e-commerce website built from the ground up. The front-end should be clean, responsive, and fast, written in modern HTML5, CSS3, and vanilla JavaScript (or a lightweight framework if it speeds things up without bloat). For the back-end, Python is the language of choice; I’m comfortable with Django or Flask, so use whichever you feel will deliver the best performance and maintainability.

Core functionality is straightforward:

• Product search that returns accurate, filterable results in real time
• A user review system tied to each product, including star ratings and text feedback
• Seamless payment-gateway integration (Stripe, PayPal, or a similar PCI-compliant option)

Please wire the database, authentication, and admin dashboard into the build so I can manage inventory, orders, and customer data without touching raw SQL. Deployment to a live server or cloud platform is part of the job; handoff isn’t complete until I can browse, search, purchase, and leave a review in a production environment.

Ship clean, well-commented code plus a short README detailing setup, environment variables, and any future-proofing notes.
