Experienced Wordpress/Woocommerce Developer to Finish & Optimize Bakery E-commerce Site Max project

We are seeking an experienced WordPress/WooCommerce developer to take over and complete an existing e-commerce website for a small artisan bakery and specialty food business. The site is currently 30-40% complete, and we require a polished, fast, and professional final product with fully functional online ordering capabilities. This is a finish-and-refine project, not a build-from-scratch; the foundational structure and branding are already established. The ideal freelancer will be able to seamlessly pick up mid-project, elevate the quality, and ensure a timely delivery within a hard 10-day deadline.

Key project scope includes:
- Completing all remaining pages to a high visual standard, consistent with the existing brand identity.
- Finalizing the entire WooCommerce setup, including catalog management, cart functionality, checkout process, and robust shipping/pickup and payment options. All aspects must be thoroughly tested end-to-end.
- Significantly improving the user experience (UX) and page flow to ensure customers can place orders with minimal friction.
- Critically optimizing website performance for fast load times and strong Core Web Vitals. This involves implementing image optimization, efficient caching strategies, lazy loading for media, code minification, and ensuring clean, optimized code throughout the site.
- Conducting comprehensive Quality Assurance (QA) across both desktop and mobile devices to guarantee responsiveness and functionality.

We are looking for a freelancer with proven expertise in WordPress and WooCommerce development. Candidates should possess a strong visual design sense, genuine UX skills, deep knowledge of page-speed optimization techniques, and comfort in taking over in-progress projects. Reliable communication under a tight timeline is essential.

To apply, please include 2-3 examples of live e-commerce sites you have built, describe your approach to performance optimization, confirm your ability to complete the project within the 10-day timeframe, and provide your fixed price or rate for this project. Applications demonstrating relevant e-commerce and performance optimization work will be prioritized.
