Shopify Website Setup for 16 Products

**Project Summary** We are looking for an experienced web designer/developer to build a modern, fast-loading ecommerce website for selling physical products. The goal is to create a clean, professional, and conversion-focused online store with a smooth shopping experience, secure checkout, and easy product management. We want the website to look premium, load quickly, and work perfectly on both desktop and mobile. This should not be a basic template setup or a slow website. We are open to your recommendation on the best platform, but Shopify is preferred for ecommerce, product management, payments, shipping, and future scalability. **What We’re Building** We are launching an online store with an initial catalog of 16 physical products and plan to expand the product range over time. The website should include: * A modern, polished storefront * Clean product and category pages * Secure and easy-to-use checkout * Product variants such as size, color, or style if needed * Cart and checkout optimization * Mobile-responsive design * Basic shipping and tax setup * Easy backend management so our team can add or edit products without a developer **Requirements** * Fast load times and strong performance * Modern, conversion-focused design * Fully responsive layout for desktop, tablet, and mobile * Clean navigation and product filtering * Product pages optimized for sales * Secure payment setup * Shipping configuration for physical orders * Easy inventory and product management * Basic SEO setup for main pages and products **Nice to Have** * GA4, Meta Pixel, and conversion tracking setup * Email capture or newsletter integration * Product reviews setup * Upsell or cross-sell functionality * Abandoned cart setup * Experience with Shopify apps for shipping, reviews, bundles, or subscriptions **Preferred Platform** We are open to recommendations, but Shopify would be preferred because it is reliable for managing physical products, inventory, payments, shipping, and scaling the store as we grow. **To Apply, Please Include** * Your recommended platform or tech stack and why * 2–3 examples of ecommerce websites you have built * Your approach to product pages, checkout, and shipping setup * Your estimated timeline * Your fixed price or hourly rate **Budget:** $500–$2,000 USD **Timeline:** Around 1 month **Initial Catalog:** 16 physical products
