OpenCart Deployment & Stripe Integration

I already have the complete front-end design for a brand-new e-commerce site and now need it brought to life on OpenCart, then launched on my freshly provisioned VPS. Your main focus is implementation, not design tweaks—the layouts, colour palette, and UX are all signed off.

What I need you to handle:

• Build the store in the latest stable version of OpenCart, matching the supplied screens.
• Configure and fully test Stripe as the sole payment gateway, including webhooks and sandbox/live switches.
• Prepare the VPS (LAMP/LEMP, SSL, PHP settings, file permissions, caching) and migrate the finished store so it is publicly accessible on my domain.
• Optimise basic performance and security settings native to OpenCart (SEO-friendly URLs, anti-fraud, backups).
• Provide a short hand-over note so I can manage products, orders, and updates on my own.

Acceptance criteria: the site mirrors the design in all viewports, checkout completes end-to-end with a live Stripe test charge, and the VPS shows no critical errors in logs after launch. If this sounds like your wheelhouse, let’s get started right away.

If the site is a success we will want to add more features and would hopefully return to you for such works like reviews.

Example redacted layouts show rough workings for Home Page, and a product PANE that goes between standardised header and footer along with a proposed cart summary list.
