Elegant E-Commerce Website Build

I’m ready to launch an online store and need a full-featured e-commerce site built from the ground up. The site must feel classically elegant—think refined typography, balanced white space, and a timeless color palette—while still loading fast and working flawlessly on mobile, tablet, and desktop.

Core functionality I must have:
• Product catalog
• Shopping cart
• Payment gateway integration (Stripe or PayPal—open to your expert advice)

I’ll supply product data, copy, and branding assets; you handle clean front-end coding, back-end setup, and any plug-ins or custom development needed to make everything run smoothly. Please include a brief outline of your preferred tech stack, estimated timeline, and examples of past e-commerce builds with a similar classic aesthetic.
