Posted 3 weeks ago

Summary

I need someone to help me redesign my WordPress website for my New Zealand travel and outdoor blog. My biggest priorities are aesthetics, UX/UI, and performance. The ideal candidate will have experience in WordPress and web design, ensuring the site is visually appealing and user-friendly. The project involves improving the overall design and functionality to enhance user experience and engagement. My current WordPress site (built on Kadence theme, Gutenberg blocks) no longer reflects my brand. I would like a full redesign and to switch to using Elementor. My biggest priorities are for the site to feel personal, be beautiful and polished, be easy to use, and really reflect me. I want it to feel like a mix between a travel guide, a creator portfolio and a warm outdoor/adventure brand. It needs to be practical and intuitive, but I really care about the aesthetic side! The site must be redesigned within my existing WordPress Business plan (wordpress.com) and allow me to drag, drop and edit everything myself once handed over Pages and features required: - Homepage: A clear introduction to who I am and what my audience will find on the site. - NZ travel guide page: that links through to my travel guide on Rexby. - Blog / content section: for hiking guides, itineraries, road trips, and destination content. - Dedicated section for my monthly hiking club. This must include integration with Humanitix for event listings (automatic if possible), plus a waitlist or sign-up option for future events. - Newsletter sign-up integrated with Kit/similar - About page, work with me and social links
