Building a retail site need help with SEO/Layout?

Good Afternoon, I'm starting to build a retail website and before I lay it out I'm wondering if someone can help with the process. I'm looking for someone to give advice, which I'll pay for as far as how or what I should include on the home/welcome page, tags and what ever else I need for Search Enging Optimization and web crawlers/spiders, I know nothing about this stuff and want to make sure I build it right the first time. I've had a market research done and learned a little from that but thought I could get a package deal here for help/assistance with the whole site. Please any assistance is appreciated, I don't know exactly if it's just advice or if there are things to buy but please feel free to ask.
