E-commerce Website Upgrade & Optimization
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
Hi talented developers,
I am looking for a strong, communicative MERN stack developer (or Next.js experience is a big plus) to help us improve and stabilize our existing e-commerce / multi-vendor marketplace website.
Current situation:
The website is already live and has real customers (around 8–12k monthly visitors)
Current Tech Stack:
Frontend: React 18, Redux Toolkit, RTK Query, Tailwind CSS
Backend: Node.js, Express, MongoDB (TypeScript)
Forms & Validation: React Hook Form (planning to add Zod)
Deployment:
Frontend on Vercel
Backend on Render / DigitalOcean
Codebase:
Backend in TypeScript
Frontend in JavaScript (gradual migration to TypeScript planned)
Main tasks we need help with (estimated 80–140 hours total depending on your speed & experience)
Critical bug fixes & stability improvements (around 15–20 known issues – mostly edge cases, race conditions, cart sync problems, payment callback failures)
Performance optimizations
Reduce initial load time (currently ~3.2–4.8s on mobile)
Lazy loading + code splitting improvements
Image optimization (already using next/image like patterns)
New features medium priority (pick 3–4 depending on budget)
Advanced product filtering with multiple attributes (size, color, material + price range slider)
Real-time order status updates for customers (using Socket.io)
Wishlist + Recently viewed products carousel
Improved mobile navigation (mega menu + bottom tab bar)
Basic admin dashboard analytics (daily sales, top products, visitor stats)
Code quality & future-proofing
Start gradual TypeScript migration on important frontend parts
Better folder structure & component organization
Add proper loading/error states everywhere
Improve form handling (currently using basic React Hook Form – want to add Zod schema validation)
What we provide:
Full access to private GitHub repo
Access to live & staging environments
Detailed Notion documentation + list of current bugs prioritized
Clear design references (mostly Figma + some live site screenshots)
Quick responses (usually same day)
What we expect from you:
Very good English communication (written + preferably voice calls)
At least 3–4 years professional React experience
Experience with real e-commerce projects (bonus if multi-vendor)
Clean, maintainable code + proper commit messages
You test your own work before sending PR (we hate "it works on my machine" situations)
Please in your bid/proposal include:
Your real hourly rate or fixed price estimate
Link to 1–2 similar projects you've done (especially e-commerce)
How many hours/week you can dedicate
Rough timeline estimate for the bug fixes + first 2 new features
We want a long-term cooperation (this is phase 1 of 3 planned phases).
Looking forward to serious & experienced developers only.
Thank you!
