Project description:
"I’m ready to launch an adoption-themed site where collectors can bid on my limited-run handmade cryptid art toys rather than simply buying them outright. The core of the build is an auction system that supports:

• Timed listings with a live countdown on each toy page
• Optional reserve prices so a piece never sells below its value
• A comment thread under every auction so bidders can chat, ask questions, and build excitement

Each toy will have its own profile page with multiple images, a short lore blurb, and the bidding module. Visitors should be able to register, set a username, fund their wallet or pay at checkout, place bids, and receive real-time outbid notifications by email. When an auction closes, winners are automatically invoiced and the item marked “adopted.” each toys lore page is then added to an "encyclopedia" type gallery page.

ALTERNATE IDEA:
Simple shop site, no auction elements. Just thought it would be a cool touch and extra hype

Think medieval bestiary meets SPCA. The overall vibe should be liminal, backroom, through the veil, without being outright ominous or threatening.

Shopify or wordpress preferred, but open to learning new and better sites.
