AdForest wordPress Expert Needed for complet classified Marketplace Setup

Senior WordPress / AdForest Developer Needed for a Multi-Country Classified Marketplace (CPLP) ## Project Overview We are building **Anúncios CPLP (anunciosCPLP.com)**, a premium classified ads marketplace that connects the Portuguese-speaking world. This is **not** a standard AdForest installation or a simple WordPress website. Our vision is to create a professional, scalable marketplace where users from all CPLP countries can buy, sell and advertise within their own country while sharing one unified platform. The goal is to build a modern marketplace similar to OLX, but dedicated to the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP). We are looking for an experienced developer who can help transform this vision into a high-quality, scalable product. --- # Current Status of the Project The technical installation has already been completed and the website is ready for development. The following work has already been completed: ✅ WordPress installed and configured ✅ AdForest Theme installed ✅ Official Envato license activated ✅ All required AdForest plugins installed and activated: * AdForest Framework * AdForest Elementor * Elementor * WooCommerce * Redux Framework * SB Chat * Contact Form 7 ✅ WooCommerce database updated successfully ✅ Setup Wizard completed ✅ Website is stable ✅ No plugin conflicts ✅ No installation errors The developer **does not need to install WordPress or AdForest**. The website is fully prepared for customization and development. --- # What We Need We need an experienced **AdForest / WordPress developer** who has previously customized classified marketplace websites. This project focuses on **customization, structure, user experience and scalability**, not on basic installation. --- # Main Objectives ## 1. Build a Professional Homepage The homepage should follow our design concept. It should include: * Modern Hero Section * Professional CPLP branding * Large call-to-action buttons * "Post an Ad" * "Browse Ads" * Country selection section * Modern and clean design * Excellent user experience * Fully responsive layout A homepage design concept has already been prepared and will be provided to the selected developer. --- ## 2. Create Eight Independent Country Marketplaces The platform must include exactly these countries: * Portugal * Brazil * Angola * Mozambique * Cape Verde * Guinea-Bissau * São Tomé and Príncipe * Timor-Leste Each country must have its own dedicated marketplace. Examples: anuncioscplp.com/portugal anuncioscplp.com/brazil anuncioscplp.com/angola etc. Advertisements must remain completely separated. Ads published in Portugal must never appear in Brazil. Ads published in Brazil must never appear in Angola. Each marketplace should display only advertisements belonging to that country. The developer may choose the best technical implementation using AdForest's built-in functionality, custom taxonomies, custom fields or another robust solution. --- ## 3. Global Categories All countries must share exactly the same categories and subcategories. Example: * Vehicles * Real Estate * Jobs * Services * Electronics * Fashion * Home & Garden * Business & Industry * Animals * Community * Others Categories must remain identical across all countries. Only the advertisements should change according to the selected country. --- ## 4. Country-Based Posting When a user publishes an advertisement: The user first selects the country. The advertisement is automatically assigned to that country's marketplace. Country filtering must work correctly throughout the website. --- ## 5. Search System Search should allow filtering by: * Country * Category * Location * Keyword The selected country must always determine which advertisements are displayed. --- ## 6. Responsive Design The website must work perfectly on: * Desktop * Tablet * Mobile Country flags, menus and buttons should remain easy to use on all screen sizes. --- ## 7. SEO The website should follow SEO best practices including: * Clean URLs * Country-specific pages * Optimized page titles * Meta descriptions * Fast loading * SEO-friendly structure --- # Future Expansion This project is designed to grow over time. Future phases may include: * Multi-currency support * Country-specific payment gateways * Membership plans * Premium advertisements * Featured listings * Additional marketplace features The development should therefore be scalable and easy to maintain. --- # Required Skills * WordPress * AdForest Theme * PHP * WooCommerce * Elementor * CSS * JavaScript * Responsive Design * Performance Optimization Previous experience with AdForest or similar classified marketplace themes is highly preferred. --- # Please Answer These Questions When submitting your proposal, please answer the following: 1. Have you customized the AdForest theme before? 2. Can you provide examples of AdForest or classified marketplace websites you have developed? 3. How would you implement country separation while keeping one global category structure? 4. What technical approach would you recommend to ensure long-term scalability? 5. Approximately how many days would you need to complete this project? --- # What We Expect We are looking for a reliable developer who pays attention to detail and writes clean, maintainable code. This is not intended to be a one-time project. We are looking for someone who can continue working with us as the platform grows and new features are added. If you have real experience with AdForest and enjoy building high-quality marketplace platforms, we would be happy to hear from you.
