I’m ready to launch an online store for physical products and I’d like the entire solution hosted on my own server rather than relying on Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, or any other pre-built SaaS. I need a clean, scalable code-base that I can later extend, so please lean on open-source frameworks or a lightweight custom stack you’re comfortable maintaining. Core experience I expect the first release to include: • User reviews and ratings • Robust product filtering and search • Wishlist functionality Beyond those essentials, the build should cover the fundamentals—secure checkout, mobile-first design, an intuitive admin panel for inventory and order management, and standard SEO best practices. If you already have a preferred stack (Laravel, Node/Express with React or Vue, Django, etc.) mention it along with how you’ll handle payment gateway integration, hosting setup, and ongoing security updates. When you reply, briefly outline: • The tech stack you recommend and why • A high-level timeline broken into milestones (design, development, testing, launch) • Any past self-hosted ecommerce examples I can browse I’ll supply product data, branding assets, and server credentials once we kick off. Let me know what you need from me to move quickly.
