WooCommerce Store Setup & Design

I already have the domain and hosting ready to go—I now need a WordPress + WooCommerce specialist who can turn that blank space into a clean, professional, and future-proof online store for physical products.

Here is what I’m after:
• Complete installation and configuration of WordPress and WooCommerce on my existing server.
• Theme guidance: please recommend two or three modern, lightweight themes that lend themselves to scalability and easy maintenance, then install and fine-tune the one we pick together.
• Core shop setup—categories, sample products, tax and shipping zones, payment gateways—so I can simply start adding inventory.
• Wishlist functionality built in from day one (using a well-supported plugin or native code if you prefer).
• Responsive layouts that look sharp on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
• Basic on-page SEO settings, security hardening, and speed optimisation so the site is truly launch-ready.

Once the site hits those checkpoints I’ll take over content entry, but I’d appreciate brief hand-off notes or a short walk-through video so I’m comfortable managing things on my own.

If this sounds like a straightforward build for you, let’s get started—I can give immediate access to the hosting panel and domain registrar.
