then its better to have on-grade foundation by solid concrete blocks or you can also use pressure treated wood timbers as well. Assure that you are using solid blocks for the shed foundation. Hollow core wall blocks are very dangerous, they will eventually crack or crumble under the weight of the shed.

Many people use untreated lumber for the floor, it may cost you less but it is going to rot really fast. Use plywood for the flooring , its edges will be locked together and it is more weather resistant as well.
Use your window wisely, there will be no electricity in the shed . So make sure that window brighten up the interior by catching most of the sunlight.
