Senior WordPress Web Designer — Premium Visual Upgrade — Existing Website — 24h

Project Objective We are looking for an exceptional Senior WordPress Web Designer to significantly elevate the perceived quality, visual impact and premium feel of an existing website: https://www.sardiprocapital.com/ The website is already live and the content, copy, messaging and general structure already exist. This is NOT a redesign from scratch. The objective is to make the current website look significantly more high-end, sophisticated, refined, coherent and professionally designed, without changing its content or strategic message. --- Design Priorities In this exact order: 1. High-end website perception / visual impact 2. Typography 3. Spacing and visual rhythm 4. Layout refinement — desktop and responsive 5. Consistency between sections 6. Micro-details / premium finish The final result should feel like a significantly more expensive and professionally art-directed website while preserving the existing content. --- Technical Environment The website is an existing WordPress website. You will receive access to the current installation and must work directly on the existing website. The original developer is currently unavailable, so you must be comfortable independently understanding an existing WordPress setup and taking over the work safely. Before making modifications, you must: - identify the current WordPress theme - identify the current page builder, if any - identify the relevant plugins and existing technical structure - understand how the current pages are constructed - create a complete backup / restore point before editing You must then work within the existing technical architecture whenever reasonably possible. No migration. No new website. No unnecessary rebuild. No replacement of the existing platform. You may use the existing page builder, WordPress functionality and/or custom CSS where appropriate. The objective is visual refinement and implementation, not technical redevelopment. --- What You Will Improve You will work directly on the existing website to improve areas such as: - visual hierarchy - tipography and type scale - spacing - margins and paddings - visual rhythm - section proportions - alignment - image presentation - layout composition - desktop experience - mobile / responsive experience - consistency between sections - buttons and UI details - subtle visual details - overall premium finish You should use your professional judgement to identify the changes with the highest visual impact. --- What You Must NOT Change - No copywriting - No rewriting existing text - No changes to the core messaging - No changes to positioning - No new branding project - No new website architecture - No unnecessary changes to functionality - No migration to another CMS - No Figma-only delivery Existing content must remain intact unless a very minor layout-related adjustment is technically necessary. --- Required Profile You should have: - exceptional visual design judgement - strong WordPress experience - experience taking over websites created by other developers - excellent typography skills - excellent spacing and layout skills - strong responsive design capability - ability to work directly on a live WordPress installation - ability to identify and work with existing themes / builders / plugins - strong attention to premium visual details - ability to work independently - availability to start immediately - ability to deliver within 24 hours We care much more about the quality of your previous work than about long explanations. --- Application — Keep It Short IMPORTANT: Only applications submitted through Upwork and in full accordance with the instructions below will be considered. Applications or enquiries received through any other channel will not be reviewed or taken into consideration by the hiring manager. Please send ONLY the following: 1. Three live websites Send the 3 best LIVE websites that demonstrate the highest visual quality you personally achieved. Do not send a large generic portfolio. Choose the three examples that best demonstrate the level of visual sophistication you could bring to this project. 2. Review our website Look at: https://www.sardiprocapital.com/ Then tell us, in maximum 3 concise bullet points, what you would improve first to create the biggest increase in perceived quality.
