WordPress Developer for HTML Conversion
Worldwide
I'm building a professional community and resource hub for a niche financial services industry. The site serves two audiences: credentialed professionals in this field, and business owners seeking expert services. The site design is already 100% complete as a fully coded, single HTML file. I need an experienced WordPress developer to convert it into a fully functional WordPress site on my existing hosting account with a working backend I can manage myself. --- **What I Need Built** 1. **WordPress Installation & Setup** - Install and configure WordPress on my existing SiteGround hosting account - Connect and configure my custom domain - Set up SSL, caching, and basic security hardening 2. **Theme / Design Conversion** - Convert my existing HTML file (provided upon hire) into a custom WordPress theme or Elementor-based build - The design, fonts, colors, animations, and layout must match the provided HTML file exactly - Must be fully responsive across mobile, tablet, and desktop 3. **Plugin Installation & Configuration** - **bbPress** – Forum and community discussion section with full moderation dashboard - **MemberPress** – Three membership tiers (Free, $49/mo, $199/mo) with Stripe payment integration - **WPForms** – Service request form with email notifications and backend submission logging - **Business Directory Plugin** – Member/expert directory with profiles I can manage from the admin panel - **Mailchimp for WordPress** – Auto-capture new member signups to a Mailchimp email list - **Akismet** – Spam protection for comments and forum posts 4. **Backend Admin Setup** - Configure the WordPress admin dashboard so I can independently manage the following without developer help: - Moderate forum posts and comments - Manage member accounts and subscription status - View and respond to service request form submissions - Add and edit directory profiles - Publish new articles, resources, and blog posts - Deliver a brief Loom walkthrough video or written plain-language guide covering the admin dashboard 5. **Content Migration** - Transfer all existing content from the HTML file into WordPress — pages, FAQ section, resource descriptions, directory profiles, and all slide-in panel content --- **What I Am Providing** - Complete, fully designed HTML file (single self-contained file, approximately 100KB) - SiteGround hosting credentials - Custom domain access
