Summary

The Project I need a skilled developer with genuine design sensibility to build a 3-page website for a new hospitality and cannabis experience brand called The Parlorist. This is not a template job. The brand has a distinct visual identity - specific colors, typography, photography direction, and tone - and I need someone who can interpret those materials and make confident creative decisions without requiring me to specify every detail. The three pages are: Landing Page, About Us (combining mission, backstory, and approach), and FAQ. Plus a shared header and footer. I will provide all copy. You will be responsible for layout, spacing, typography, and translating the brand identity into a working site. What You're Getting This project comes with more foundational material than most. You'll receive a complete visual identity package (color palette with hex codes, typography system with font files, logo in multiple formats), a detailed page-by-page build guide, a full copy document with section-by-section text, and a design guide covering layout principles, section rhythm, and component decisions. The site is WordPress-based. I have a preference for Elementor but I'm open to a different approach if you make a case for it. What I'm Looking For I want someone who reads the brief, identifies what's unresolved or missing, and comes to me with a point of view rather than a list of questions. If you see a decision the brief doesn't fully answer, I want your recommendation. I'll respond to your proposals and we'll iterate from there. I am not looking for someone who needs me to make every decision, or who will send a first draft that's essentially a placeholder. I want a collaborator who has taste and is willing to use it. One Thing to Know About This Brand The Parlorist sits in an unusual position: it's a cannabis brand, but its aesthetic is closer to a high-end dinner party or a private members' club than anything you'd typically associate with cannabis. The palette is warm and dark - deep brown, burnt orange, cream. The typography pairs bold condensed headlines with editorial serif body text. The tone throughout is confident, dry, and specific. The mood is "the kind of evening people talk about afterward." Getting that right is the whole job. To Apply Please share relevant portfolio work, specifically anything in the premium hospitality, lifestyle, or editorial space. Template sites and standard cannabis-industry designs are not a strong signal for this project. Then answer this: Describe a specific design decision you made on a past project - something you pushed for, or something you changed from what the client originally wanted. What was the decision and what drove it?
