Home & Living Ecommerce

I’m launching a dedicated online store for my home & living line and I want the entire site built as an independent business website—no Shopify, WooCommerce, or Magento dependencies. The goal is simple: a clean, secure storefront that converts visitors into buyers.

Scope of work
• Design and build a responsive catalog where shoppers can browse furniture, décor, and lifestyle accessories, then add items to a cart and check out seamlessly.
• Integrate at least one major payment gateway (credit card, PayPal, or a similar option you recommend) and set up shipping/tax rules.
• Provide an easy-to-use admin panel so I can add products, manage stock, run discounts, and view orders without touching code.
• Optimise load speed, SEO basics, and mobile usability from day one.

Timeline
I need the full site live within a month of kick-off, including testing and handover.

Deliverables
1. Wireframes or mock-ups for approval
2. Fully coded front-end and back-end deployed on my hosting account
3. Admin/CMS access with documentation
4. Final round of QA, performance tuning, and production launch guide

Acceptance criteria
• All core pages load in under 3 s on GTmetrix
• Secure checkout works end-to-end in live or sandbox mode
• Admin can create, read, update, delete products and view orders without errors
• Site renders correctly across modern browsers and common mobile devices

Let me know the stack you favour—whether it’s Laravel, Node.js + React, or another lightweight framework—and share two or three links to similar independent builds you’ve completed. I’m ready to move quickly once we align on the approach.
