Responsive Physical Goods Store Development

I’m ready to launch a web store that sells physical products and I need the entire e-commerce experience built from the ground up. The site has to feel seamless on both desktop and mobile screens, with fast load times and clean navigation so customers can browse, add to cart, and check out without friction.

Core requirements
• Full product catalogue with categories, variations, stock-level management, and a search/filter system
• Secure checkout that processes Credit/Debit Cards and PayPal through recognised gateways (Stripe, Braintree, PayPal API—whichever best fits)
• Responsive design tested on major desktop and mobile browsers
• Order management dashboard: view, update, fulfil, and generate basic sales reports
• Customer account area for order history, returns, and profile updates
• SSL configuration, GDPR-ready cookie/banner setup, and on-page SEO foundations
• Final deployment to my hosting and a short handover session so I can manage products myself

Tech is flexible—Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, or a modern headless stack with React/Vue front-end if that proves more efficient. Advise me on the pros and cons during kickoff and we’ll lock the choice together.

Please outline your preferred platform, relevant examples of past stores, and an estimated timeline from design mock-ups to go-live.
