WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR We are a digital strategy firm managing website builds for B2B clients. We are not looking for a one-off hire — we are looking for a reliable WordPress developer or small team to become our go-to partner for an ongoing pipeline of work. This posting is for our first project. We have three additional similar projects coming in the next few weeks, all with the same profile: React prototype to WordPress conversion, custom interactive components, deployment to client hosting. If this first project goes well, we will bring you all of them. After each launch, we expect ongoing maintenance and update work on a per-project basis. If you are looking for a single project, this is not the right fit. If you want a consistent source of well-specified work with a team that communicates clearly and pays on time, read on. THE PROJECT We have a fully designed and approved React/Vite website prototype for a B2B commercial services company. The design is finished and client-approved. We need it converted into a production-ready custom WordPress theme and deployed to the client's hosting account (GoDaddy or SiteGround). This is a conversion project, not a design project. Your job is to build what already exists in the prototype — exactly as it looks, exactly as it behaves. No design decisions required from you. Full technical documentation including the prototype URL, page specifications, and a detailed component spec will be shared with qualified applicants after an initial screening conversation. SCOPE The site is 15 pages. The most complex component is an interactive Google Maps portfolio map showing 400+ real project locations with marker clustering, state-level shading, a filter panel, and a click-to-expand project detail view. There is also a multi-step JavaScript ROI calculator on the homepage that must be rebuilt with full functional parity. The theme must be a fully custom WordPress theme — no Elementor, no Divi, no WPBakery, no page builders of any kind. The client needs to make basic text edits through Gutenberg without breaking the design. Advanced Custom Fields or equivalent is required for structured content. You will also handle deployment: WordPress install, theme setup, DNS coordination, and go-live confirmation on the client's hosting account. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS The site must hit a PageSpeed mobile score of 75 or higher. Google Fonts must be self-hosted — not loaded from the CDN. Images must be served in WebP with proper srcset. The Google Maps script must load asynchronously and only on the portfolio page. The design uses sharp corners throughout (border-radius zero) and a specific color system that must be preserved exactly. Every page needs individually configurable meta titles, meta descriptions, and Open Graph tags. The theme must be compatible with Yoast SEO or Rank Math. ONGOING RELATIONSHIP After each project launches, we will bring you maintenance and update work on a per-request basis — content updates, new pages, plugin updates, client revisions. We scope and pay per request, no retainer required. We are looking for someone who wants to be our first call, not a one-time vendor.

We are a premium spiritual healing and wellness brand (SpiritFlow Sedona) dedicated to high-end, transformative experiences. Our online presence must reflect this high-vibrational aesthetic while remaining technically state-of-the-art. We are looking for an experienced, detail-oriented WordPress & Divi developer to help us execute a targeted structural, performance, and content upgrade. The Challenge & Project Scope Our current site was built with Divi 4 in 2021. We need to transition the site safely to Divi 5 (cleanly migrating or stripping legacy shortcodes) and optimize the backend for the AI search era (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, etc.) We have structured this project into three clear, fixed-price milestones, beginning with an immediate "Quick-Win" task on our current live site: Immediate Priority (Phase 0): Live Site FAQ Deployment Before staging setup begins, we need an immediate setup of our new FAQ page on our active Divi 4 site so AI search engines can start indexing it. Deploy FAQ Page: Implement our structured FAQ page on the live site. Schema Implementation: Ensure flawless FAQ schema integration (either via Yoast Pro Gutenberg Blocks or by injecting raw JSON-LD Schema directly into a Divi Code Module so it doesn't break our theme layouts). Milestone 1: Technical Foundation, Staging Setup & Performance Staging Setup: Set up a secure staging environment. All subsequent core development and testing must happen here first to prevent any live site downtime. Divi Core Upgrade: Safely upgrade from Divi 4 to Divi 5 on staging, ensuring all legacy shortcodes are completely cleared. Speed & Asset Optimization: Optimize high-resolution Sedona landscape images (WebP conversion, lazy loading). Fix the homepage video (resolve slow loading and remove the temporary black background flash). Configure a premium caching plugin (e.g., WP Rocket or equivalent). Site Health: Resolve core WordPress Site Health warnings to ensure a clean, fast backend. Milestone 2: UX & "Luxury Wellness" Design Refinement Layout Streamlining: Help us organize layouts into "Luxury Wellness Blocks"—clean, minimalist text blocks layered over large-scale, high-vibrational imagery. Global Theme Elements: Use the Divi Theme Builder to establish a uniform, premium header, footer, and side-navigation layout. Branding Tweaks: Adjust the top-left header logo layout to make it slightly larger and perfectly proportioned. Milestone 3: AI Visibility, Reviews, & GEO Optimization Local SEO & Schema: Configure Yoast Pro to generate flawless Local Business Schema and structured data. Social Proof: Integrate a clean, lightweight Google Review plugin to display guest testimonials beautifully. Staging Quality Assurance: Thoroughly test the previously deployed FAQ page to ensure the schema remains intact and functional after the Divi 5 upgrade. Required Skills & Experience Proven experience handling complex Divi migrations (specifically moving legacy Divi 4 sites to Divi 5). Strong understanding of WordPress Speed Optimization (CLS, LCP, image compression, asset loading orders). Familiarity with Schema Markup / Structured Data and modern Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) practices. Must work in a Staging Environment and use a disciplined backup protocol. Clean, well-documented CSS/child-theme practices (no bloated inline styling). To Apply Please provide: Two examples of Divi websites you have personally optimized for speed (include GTmetrix or PageSpeed Insights scores if possible). A brief description of your approach to implementing FAQ schema in Divi 4 without causing page-builder rendering issues. Your estimated timeline and fixed-price bid for Milestone 1 (including the immediate Phase 0 live FAQ setup). Note: This project has a clear, defined budget. We are looking for an efficient, expert developer who values a highly organized project scope. Successful completion of this project may lead to ongoing monthly maintenance and updates.

We are looking for an experienced website designer to help us refresh and complete a new website for our church using Realm's website platform (similar to WordPress or Squarespace). We are primarily looking for someone with strong visual design, UX/UI, information architecture, and mobile design skills. This is not a custom website development project. The website will remain on the Realm platform, and our staff will manage content updates after the project is complete. Crown of Life is a traditional Christian church in Minnesota with an affiliated school and preschool. This project will focus first on the church website, with the possibility of future work on the school and preschool websites. We have already started building the new church website in Realm and have a template and basic site structure in place. We are looking for someone to refine, improve, and polish the existing design rather than start from scratch. We are open to changing or modifying the template if it results in a significantly better user experience and overall design. Our website serves two important audiences. First-Time Visitors and Prospective Families The website should be an easy and welcoming entry point for people who are getting to know our church, school, and preschool for the first time. Visitors should be able to quickly understand: Who we are What we believe What to expect when visiting Opportunities for worship, education, and community involvement How to contact us or take a next step Current Members and Families The website should also serve our current members, school families, and preschool families by helping them stay informed, connected, and engaged. It should be easy for members to find events, resources, updates, and important information. Overall, we want the website to feel welcoming, trustworthy, professional, and easy to use. We are not simply looking for someone to make the website look better. We are looking for a designer who can think strategically about user experience, website organization, and content hierarchy. The ideal designer will help us determine: What information should be featured prominently on each page What belongs on the homepage versus interior pages How content should be organized for visitors and members How to create clear pathways for users to find information and take next steps How to simplify and prioritize information so the website feels intuitive and uncluttered We value strong information architecture as much as visual design. Design Goals We are a traditional church, and we want the website to reflect our Christian values and heritage. At the same time, we want the design to feel current, clean, polished, and visually engaging. We are looking for help with: Overall visual design and aesthetics Homepage design and layout Mobile-friendly design and usability Navigation and user experience Information architecture and content organization Page layout and content hierarchy Visual consistency across the site Clear calls-to-action for visitors and members Recommendations for imagery, layout, and content presentation The design should feel: Modern without being trendy Professional without feeling cold Welcoming without feeling cluttered Traditional without feeling outdated We have a complete brand guide and brand assets available, including: Logo files in multiple formats Brand color palette with HEX codes Defined typography and typefaces Existing brand standards The final design should align with and strengthen our established brand identity. We are looking for a designer who can provide: A refined website design within Realm Improvements to the homepage and key interior pages Mobile-responsive design improvements UX and navigation recommendations Information architecture recommendations Design implementation within the Realm platform Recommendations for imagery, layout, and content presentation A site structure and design that our staff can easily maintain after launch. We would like to move quickly on this project. Initial design draft: Within 2 weeks Final revisions and completed design: Within 1 additional week Total project timeline: Approximately 3 weeks
