WordPress-to-Mobile App Developer for Affiliate Marketplace
Worldwide
I’m looking for an experienced app developer to help turn my existing website, Dot & Dragon, into a polished mobile app. Dot & Dragon is an affiliate marketplace for mahjong products. The website currently features products from multiple brands and allows customers to browse by category, discover new products, and click through to the original retailer/manufacturer to purchase. We do not sell or fulfill products directly — the app would primarily be a discovery, browsing, wishlist, and click-through shopping experience. The website is already built on WordPress, so I am looking for someone who can either: Build a mobile app that connects to the existing WordPress site/product database, or Recommend the best app solution for my current setup, including whether a native app, hybrid app, or app-wrapper approach makes the most sense. Main goals for the app: Create a clean, easy-to-use mobile shopping/discovery experience Pull in existing products and categories from the WordPress website Allow users to browse by category, brand, and theme Support wishlist functionality or help determine the best way to include it Preserve affiliate outbound links to partner websites Make the app feel polished and professional, not just like a website inside an app Help prepare the app for submission to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store Current website features include: Product categories such as Tiles, Mats, Racks, Accessories, Gather & Play, Clothing, and Resources Multiple partner brands Affiliate links that send shoppers to the original retailer Wishlist functionality Product filtering/searching Blog/editorial content planned or in progress Ideal candidate: Has experience building apps from WordPress or WooCommerce-style websites Understands affiliate websites and outbound link tracking Can advise on the best technical path instead of simply taking orders Has experience submitting apps to Apple and Google Can create a user-friendly, visually polished mobile experience Communicates clearly and can explain technical options in plain English Please include in your proposal: Examples of apps you’ve built from existing websites Whether you recommend native, hybrid, or app-wrapper development for this project Your estimated timeline Your estimated cost or project phases Any questions you would need answered before starting Whether you can assist with App Store and Google Play submission Budget: Open to discussing based on the recommended approach. I’m especially interested in someone who can help me make the smartest first version of the app without overbuilding too soon. Project Type: One-time project with the possibility of ongoing support as the marketplace grows.
