Artisan Marketplace & Training Hub

I need a complete digital presence that makes it effortless for young Indian craftsmen (17-21) to sell their handmade textiles and accessories to buyers at home and in the West while learning modern business skills along the way. The build has two equal parts.

First, a public-facing website shaped in a blend of traditional warmth and contemporary clarity. It must include an e-commerce store with secure payments and shipping options, rich storytelling sections that spotlight each artisan and weave, and a tier-based membership/subscription model so collectors can join our quarterly “Loom Club”. Think Shopify or WooCommerce for the engine, but the look should echo hand-woven textures, earthy palettes and clean layouts that load fast on mobile.

Second, a WhatsApp learning platform using the Business API (or an equivalent service) that releases one training module each week. I will provide the content outline—twelve modules covering self-employment, quality standards, export basics and more. You will turn it into interactive lessons with text, short video links and quick quizzes, then automate delivery, reminders and basic Q&A through a chatbot so the students can follow entirely on their phones. Additionally, this project must include certification for participants completing the training modules and a joint go-to-market strategy tailored specifically for traditional Indian craftsmen.

Core deliverables
• Responsive website with e-commerce store, storytelling pages and membership setup
• Integration of payment gateway, shipping calculator and basic analytics
• Visual identity: logo refinement, font & colour guide reflecting a modern-meets-heritage feel
• WhatsApp Business API setup with automated drip of 12 modules, progress tracking and opt-in/opt-out management
• Certification system for participants completing training modules
• Joint go-to-market strategy for traditional Indian craftsmen
• Admin dashboard (or simple CMS view) to upload future content, add products and view learner progress
• A brief go-to-market playbook explaining how to use the site, Instagram and WhatsApp together for launches

Acceptance criteria
1. Site loads under three seconds on 4G and scores 90+ on Google Lighthouse mobile.
2. Payment flow, membership sign-up and first product purchase all tested end-to-end in both INR and USD sandboxes.
3. WhatsApp bot successfully delivers Module 1 sample, records a quiz answer and returns confirmation.
4. Clear hand-off documentation plus a one-hour walkthrough call once everything is live.
