Shopify E-commerce Website Development

I need a proficient developer to design an E-commerce website using the Shopify platform. While having a clear understanding of how to create a visually appealing and easy-to-navigate user interface, the ideal candidate should be experienced in coding and familiar with Shopify's features and capabilities. Any additional skills such as Search Engine Optimization (SEO) are appreciated. Although specific features haven't been determined yet, the bare minimum of inventory management and payment gateway integration is expected, as the smooth running of the site is paramount.
