Elite US-Based Front-End Web Designer + Developer for Lifestyle & Real Estate Sites

I run a digital and AI-visibility firm serving commercial real estate and lifestyle development clients. I need a US-based front-end designer-developer to be my go-to for premium website builds. The work is project-based and recurring. I land these regularly and want one exceptional person I can bring in when they do. The bar is high. The sites I sell have to visually beat the best in the category: Downtown Summerlin, Tivoli Village, Santana Row, Avalon, The Domain. I am not looking for someone who installs and customizes themes. I need original design. What you are: A designer first, with the development skill to ship what you design, or a clean Figma-to-build handoff you own Fluent in motion, interaction, and video-forward layouts US-based, for timezone overlap and the occasional client call Comfortable in WordPress when the client needs it, and able to recommend the right stack when they do not What the work looks like: High-end lifestyle retail, mixed-use, and commercial real estate marketing sites Two-state builds: pre-leasing sites that flip to activation sites at opening Immersive, video-forward experiences, store by store Projects with real design budgets behind them I read every answer. Tell me: Two or three portfolio pieces where you did the design yourself. Link the live sites and tell me what was yours. Original design, not theme customizations. Are you a solo designer-developer, or do you design and hand off? If you hand off, how does it work, and have you shipped that way before? Pick one of the sites above. Tell me one thing you would do better. US-based required. Tell me your rate and your timeline for a six to ten page premium build.
