I’m gearing up to launch an online store and need a developer who is confident working with WordPress and WooCommerce. The site’s core function is selling products, so every decision—from theme selection to plugin configuration—has to serve a smooth buying experience. Secure payment processing is non-negotiable. I’ll rely on you to set up WooCommerce’s checkout flow, configure SSL, and integrate at least one major gateway (Stripe or PayPal are fine—open to your professional advice). I also expect the best-practice measures for protecting customer data and staying PCI-compliant. Key deliverables: • Install and configure WordPress + WooCommerce on my hosting • Customize a responsive theme to match my brand assets (logo, colors, fonts supplied) • Create starter product categories and a sample product so I can add the rest • Integrate and test secure payments, taxes, and shipping rules • Optimize basic SEO settings and page speed • Provide a short hand-off guide or recorded walk-through so I can manage products and orders on my own If you’ve built conversion-friendly WooCommerce stores before and can turn this around efficiently, I’d love to hear how you’d approach the project and your estimated timeline.
