This is not simply a website design project. We require a developer who can take responsibility for the complete project from: DESIGN → WORDPRESS DEVELOPMENT → SEO → GOOGLE COMPLIANCE → GPT/AI READINESS → DOMAIN/DNS → HOSTING → SECURITY → TESTING → LAUNCH → FINAL AUDIT --- IMPORTANT – CURRENT DOMAIN, HOSTING & PLATFORM Our current setup is: - Domain registered/managed through Xneelo - Website hosting through GoDaddy - Website must be built using WordPress The appointed developer must be capable of managing the complete setup between Xneelo, GoDaddy and WordPress.
