Full-Stack Developer for High-Spec E-commerce Platform

I am seeking a high-level Full-Stack Developer to build a robust e-commerce platform for industrial/trade supplies. The site must handle a large SKU count and offer a professional, high-trust experience similar to Nisbets.ie and Screwfix.ie.

1. Functional Requirements (The Essentials)
Massive Catalog Management: Capability to handle thousands of SKUs across deep categories and sub-categories.

Technical Product Tables: Ability to display technical specifications, data sheets (PDFs), and "What's in the box" details clearly.

Advanced Trade Search: A "Live Search" bar that handles part numbers, SKU codes, and keywords with instant results and images.

B2B Features: * Bulk "Add to Cart" functionality.

VAT-inclusive/exclusive price toggling (essential for Irish/UK trade).

Quick-order forms for returning customers.

Account Dashboard: Detailed order history, invoice downloads (PDF), and "re-order" buttons.

2. Design & UX Requirements

The "Trade" Aesthetic: A clean, organized, and high-performance UI (No "fluff"—focus on utility and clarity).

Mega-Menu Navigation: A sophisticated multi-column menu for navigating deep categories (Tools > Power Tools > Drills > Cordless).

Mobile-First Design: Optimized for tradespeople ordering on-site via mobile devices.

Stock Status: Real-time "In Stock" or "Lead Time" indicators on every product page.

3. Technical Requirements

Platform: Hostinger

Performance: Must be optimized for speed (Core Web Vitals) to handle heavy traffic and large databases.

Payment Gateways: Integration with Stripe/PayPal and "Pay on Account" options for trade customers.

SEO: Proper canonical tags, breadcrumbs, and structured data for Google Shopping.

4. Developer Qualifications
Proven experience in Industrial or B2B E-commerce.

Experience with ERP or Inventory Management system integrations.

Must provide a portfolio of sites with large catalogs (1,000+ items).

Key Requirements List for Your Records:
Speed: Under 2-second load time.

Integration: Connection to shipping carriers (e.g., DPD, An Post).

Trust: Professional "About Us," "Privacy Policy," and "Terms of Service" pages.

Scalability: The ability to add new brands and categories easily without breaking the site.

Pro-Tip for your Freelancer Post:
Since your references are mostly Irish (.ie) sites, tell the developer they must ensure the site is GDPR compliant and handles Irish VAT (23%) correctly at checkout.
