Review-Enabled E-Commerce Website

I need a clean, conversion-focused e-commerce website designed from the ground up. The core requirement is a built-in product review system that lets buyers leave ratings and comments directly on each product page. I want the review section to be visually integrated with the product gallery, display average star ratings in search grids, and feed into rich-snippet markup for better SEO.

Beyond the reviews, the store must cover the essentials: secure payment gateway integration, responsive layout that performs smoothly on mobile, straightforward product and inventory management from the admin panel, and basic onsite SEO setup. I’m currently platform-agnostic—Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom solution are all fine—so long as the tech stack you suggest keeps page speed high and maintenance simple.

Future phases may add advanced search filters or full user account dashboards, so please keep extensibility in mind when proposing your approach.

Deliverables
• Fully functional e-commerce site, ready to accept live orders
• Review feature with star ratings, sorting and moderation tools
• Admin guide (brief PDF or screen-share recording) showing how to add products, approve reviews, and process orders

Please outline your preferred platform, any design inspiration you’d leverage, and the time you’ll need to reach launch.
