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.
