SEO-Optimised WordPress Store Build (around 10 pages)

I’m ready to replace my current WordPress site with a completely new build focused on e-commerce. The goal is a clean, modern storefront that is fully SEO-optimised from day one. I have an AI-generated mock page that captures the style and layout I want, so you’ll be working from a clear visual guide rather than starting from scratch.

Key requirements
• WordPress as the CMS, using a lightweight, responsive theme that you’ll tailor to match the reference page.
• Core shop functionality must include a smooth shopping cart flow and reliable payment-gateway integration (Stripe or PayPal—open to your recommendation).
• On-page SEO essentials baked in: semantic headings, schema where appropriate, optimised images, fast load times and an SEO plugin configured with best-practice settings.
• No content migration is needed; we’re starting fresh, so you can structure the pages exactly for conversions and search visibility.
• Please keep the build expandable—features like product reviews aren’t needed now, but I’d like the codebase to accommodate them later without a rebuild.

Deliverables
1. Fully functioning WordPress e-commerce site online on my hosting.
2. Branded home, shop, product, cart and checkout pages built to match the provided AI reference.
3. SEO setup completed (titles, meta, XML sitemap, basic analytics connection).
4. Handover document explaining theme customisations, installed plugins and how to add new products.

Once live, I’ll run an initial audit; if performance and SEO scores hit the agreed benchmarks we’ll consider the project complete. I’m available for quick feedback cycles and can provide any creative assets you need right away.
