Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

OVERVIEW I need a WordPress developer to build a custom 6-page website from complete, fully-specified design mockups. The design work is done. Your job is just to build it precisely — pixel-accurate, fast, and clean. This is an author and brand platform for a narrative nonfiction book and educational ecosystem. The aesthetic is editorial and high-end — think literary brand, not generic business site. Design precision is non-negotiable. --- WHAT'S INCLUDED 6 pages: — Homepage (hero video background, multiple sections, interactive card flip mechanic) — About the Author (collapsible bio, full-bleed photography) — Book Excerpt (two-tab reading experience with email gate) — TOY Academy inner page (TED-style card grid, interactive hover effects) — Board Game inner page (interactive card display, wood texture hero) — Connect page Technical requirements: — Canvas-based particle animation in the footer (HTML/JavaScript — must run natively, no iframe) — Tab switching interactions — Hover effects on multiple card elements — Email capture forms (integration with Mailchimp or equivalent) — Mobile and all devices responsive across all pages — Fast load times — performance matters — SEO-ready structure — Clean, maintainable code I can hand to another developer if needed Brand system: — 3 fonts (Lulo Clean Bold, Playfair Display, Inter) - Might be reconsidered later by myself. There are onlt two thing I want tobe able to change — fonts and blocks background color. — Specific color palette with exact hex codes provided — All spacing, sizing, and interaction specs documented --- WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE FROM ME — Complete HTML/CSS mockups for every page section — All color codes, font specs, and interaction notes — All copy written and ready — Photography and imagery assets — The particle animation code already written — A detailed walkthrough call before you start You are not designing anything. You are building from a complete brief. --- WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR — Strong WordPress experience with custom builds from design references — Portfolio showing design-precise builds — not template modifications — Experience implementing custom JavaScript/canvas animations in WordPress — Clear communication and ability to flag issues before they become problems — Ability to deliver in 3-4 weeks --- TO APPLY Please include: 1. Two or three portfolio links of WordPress sites you built from design mockups (not templates) 2. Your approach to implementing a canvas particle animation natively in WordPress 3. Your estimated timeline and rate for this scope Applications without portfolio links will not be considered. --- Budget: Open to proposals. Timeline: 3-4 weeks from project start. Location: No preference — strong English communication (at least written) required.
