To create a website like this, you could:

  1. Build it yourself. This requires knowledge of a full web stack and is no small task.
  2. Use a CMS like WordPress and plugins like WooCommerce
  3. Hire some one, but I suspect you don`t want this, which is why you are here :P

So this really depends on how quickly you want to be up and running and how invested in web development you wish to become. Certainly learning WordPress to do this will take less time than learning a full stack development, and WordPress can also be implemented much more quickly, but at the expense of flexibility. Either way what you want will be a lot of work, but if you are interested in the learning and challenges, then it will be exciting work :D

Here are a list of tutorial tracks that should be helpful for developing your own solution:

You will notice there is a lot of content here to cover. This path, depending on your current knowledge the available time you have to dedicate to learning, could take well over a year.

If you want to try the WordPress route, take a look at the tutorials here. It will also be a large investment, but WordPress has a great community and tons of plugins that will allow a determined person to find many solutions for their project.

I hope that this will help you!

Good luck with you endeavours! ♥
