WordPress developer for Elementor redesign, migration and optimization (fresh fruit store)

Hi! We sell fresh fruit and fruit boxes online, and our WordPress website looks dated. We're looking for an experienced WordPress developer to handle the technical redesign, development, optimization, and migration of our existing WordPress e-commerce website using Elementor. **What we need:** • A modern, mobile-first implementation of our design files in Elementor Pro, built on a lightweight WordPress theme and extended with custom HTML5, CSS 3, and JavaScript where the builder falls short. • Redesigned homepage, shop, product pages, cart, and checkout, created with Elementor Theme Builder templates and adjusted in PHP where needed. Our store currently runs on WordPress WooCommerce, so the new templates must stay fully compatible with it. • Product pages with photos, weight/size variations, and clear pricing, so customers can easily choose single fruits or ready-made fruit boxes. • Responsive development optimized for mobile, since most of our orders come from phones. • WordPress optimization focused on faster loading and better Core Web Vitals, especially on mobile: keeping Elementor output lean, image optimization, caching, CDN setup, and cleanup of unnecessary WordPress plugins and tools that slow the site down. • A full WordPress migration without losing products, orders, customers, or Google rankings. This includes a safe transfer of the SQL database, a complete WordPress backup before any changes, and proper redirects. • A proper search engine optimization migration, including correct configuration of our WordPress SEO plugin, preserved URLs and metadata, 301 redirects, sitemaps, and schema markup. • A seasonal WordPress landing page template in Elementor that we can duplicate for promotions and gift boxes. • A reusable Elementor setup (global colors, fonts, and saved templates) that lets our team manage products, orders, and content without touching code. • WordPress customization and integration of existing functionality where needed, including custom Elementor widgets or extending a WordPress plugin when an off-the-shelf solution doesn't fit. • Basic WordPress security hardening and a clean WordPress installation on staging for development. • Testing, troubleshooting, and WordPress bug fix work before and after launch, to make sure checkout, payments, shipping, and emails work correctly. We already have our branding (logo and colors) and will provide the design files for implementation. **Who we're looking for:** We need someone with solid experience in WordPress development, Elementor and Elementor Pro, and ecommerce website development, who is comfortable with HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, and jQuery. Experience with React is a nice-to-have if you think an interactive element, such as a custom fruit box builder, would benefit from it. We also value WordPress consultation: if you see a better technical approach than what we've outlined, please tell us. **To apply, please:** 1. Share relevant WordPress web development projects, preferably online stores built with Elementor, with live links. 2. Explain how you would approach the migration so the current site stays live during development, and how you would launch the new version without losing data, SEO rankings, or functionality.
