Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

ABOUT THE PROJECT We are building a consumer web platform in the wellness and community space. The aesthetic is warm, minimal, and editorial — think Goop meets a literary magazine. I have a detailed design brief, 6 HTML mockup pages, and a full Developer Bible ready to share with shortlisted candidates. I would like to hire someone with an eye for design and a similar aesthetic as mine. WHAT NEEDS TO BE BUILT This is a full web application that needs to work seamlessly as one platform from day one. It includes: — User accounts and profiles — User-generated pages with unique shareable URLs and photo uploads — An interactive wishlist / registry feature where supporters can claim items — A curated e-commerce shop (affiliate links + direct products, organized by category) — An editorial blog / journal with newsletter integration via Klaviyo — A conversational AI feature using the Anthropic API (can be Phase 2 but must be architected for from the start) — Mobile responsive throughout — Easy for a non-technical founder to manage content, products, and blog posts after launch TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS — Everything built as one seamless platform — not two separate systems bolted together (unless that makes more sense) — User authentication — Database for user-generated content — Photo upload capability — Unique shareable URLs per user — SEO optimized — Domain connection from Namecheap — Shopify can be used as the commerce engine if it integrates seamlessly — Legal pages included DESIGN HTML mockups exist as a direction — not a rigid brief. I want a developer with a genuine design eye who will elevate what's there, flag what isn't working, and bring creative input. References: Goop, The Cut, high-end editorial wellness. Fonts are Cormorant Garamond and Jost. I want a creative collaborator, not just someone executing a brief. WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR — Full-stack developer with consumer web app experience — Portfolio showing user accounts, community features, or marketplaces — Someone who can architect and build the entire platform in one codebase so everything works seamlessly together from day one — Familiarity with AI API integration is a strong plus — Strong design sensibility — Clear communicator, available for revisions post-launch TO APPLY PLEASE ANSWER 1. Have you built platforms with user-generated content or community features? 2. What tech stack would you recommend and why? 3. Can you build this entire platform in one codebase so everything works seamlessly together? 4. Estimated timeline for Phase 1? 5. Your rate or fixed price estimate? 6. Two or three relevant portfolio examples This is a meaningful, mission-driven project. Looking for someone who will bring care and craft to the build.
