WooCommerce Store Build & Optimization

I’m ready to launch a modern, fully-responsive online store on WordPress with WooCommerce and need an expert who can take the project from blank install to polished, revenue-ready site. Your strongest suit should be WooCommerce setup and rock-solid payment security, but I also expect you to finesse theme customization, plugin selection, SEO basics, and performance tuning so the shop loads fast and converts visitors.

Here’s what I want to walk away with:
• A custom-designed storefront that looks great on mobile and desktop
• Intuitive navigation and checkout flow that minimises cart abandonment
• Secure integration of major payment gateways (cards, PayPal, plus one local option I’ll specify) with SSL and anti-fraud best practices in place
• Core plugins configured only as needed to keep the site lean and quick
• On-page SEO foundations—clean permalinks, schema where appropriate, and image optimisation
• Speed optimisation targeting sub-2-second load times on GTmetrix or similar

Please send a detailed project proposal that outlines your approach, timeline, and any past WooCommerce builds that showcase similar goals. I’ll shortlist based on how clearly you address payment security and the overall WooCommerce architecture.
