Project Description:
I need an E-commerce website (baby clothing store)
E-commerce website integrated with some sort of inventory tracking and sales software on the backend.
*Mobile user friendliness would be a positive feature.
The timeline is open - prefer completion before June.
I would like to see samples of e-commerce websites you have done.
THEMES:
For reference, I have looked at Wordpress E-commerce sites and I like the Freshshop with some design changes (mainly color) and preferably with Woocommerce plugin (instead of jigoshop) - http://themeforest.net/item/freshshop-a-wordpress-ecommerce-theme/full_screen_preview/761146
*
* According to the designer of Freshshop, it will work with other e-commerce plugins - there may just be some minor adapting required.

* An option for sales and inventory tracking on the backend that works with Woocommerce is Quickbooks

***I am not set on WP E-commerce/Woocommerce and if you have other suggestions/solutions that will work better for what I want, please offer them.
Shopify has some nice looking theme options, although I dont like the locked source or monthly payments – I would like to be able to make changes as the business eventually grows. For reference, here are Shopify sites I liked the look of (simple interface – obviously would want to add more color to it):
http://minimo-white.myshopify.com/
http://minimo.myshopify.com/
http://minimo-dark.myshopify.com/
SALE PRICES, DISCOUNTS, CUSTOMER LOGINS, VIP STATUS:
I may want to be able to offer discounts/sale prices and bulk order discounts based on quantities as well as a login for VIP and wholesale/dealers that would offer a pricing discount based on the login details.
This is an example of something that might work on a WP E-commerce site:

SOCIAL MEDIA:

Possible integration with Twitter – we may look to offer twitter/facebook subscribers special once a week discounts or some special offers.
