We run paid social and search for an established children's book brand on Shopify. The ads are working. Click-through rate is strong and we're sending qualified, motivated traffic to the site. The problem is what happens after the click. The site converts at a fraction of where it should, and the data points to the storefront itself, not the traffic. We need a Shopify theme developer to take ownership of a full overhaul covering performance, theme structure, and on-page conversion. This is one role owning the whole site, not a narrow technical patch. Here's what we're working with: Mobile PageSpeed score in the low teens, with LCP near 15 seconds and significant layout shift Close to 300 page requests, which points to heavy app bloat that needs auditing and trimming A portion of inbound traffic hitting 404 errors on entry Product page layout problems, including an upsell widget that buries the primary purchase action No review or social proof structure anywhere on the product pages Navigation and pricing inconsistencies across page templates We've already done the diagnostic and CRO work, so you'll be building against a clear scope rather than guessing at priorities. We direct the strategy. You own the build. What we're looking for: Demonstrated Shopify theme development experience specifically, working in Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JS A track record you can point to with before-and-after performance numbers, not just screenshots A habit of working on a duplicate or development theme so the live store stays safe Comfort being directed by a marketing team and communicating in outcomes, like load time and conversion impact, rather than ticket-by-ticket To apply, answer this before quoting: based on the symptoms above, what's the first thing you'd want to check on the store, and why? We're more interested in how you think about the problem than in a fast price.

Hi, I'm looking for a landscape designer or architect who can provide a set of drawings only to the level that we can use them to begin to show the public what improvements we're looking to make in the park, these won't be to build from. I'm looking to have a sports field drawn on a section of the park, with lines, soccer goals, and football goal posts. I'd like to include both in a daylight setting and, with night lighting, the field up. Then we have a section that has a current playground, we need to show it with new playground equipment and modern shading sails over the playground, along with the newer safe playing ground surfaces, without the need for bark. There is also a small splash pad that will remain, and a basketball court, that we can show, with refreshed surface. There is a bocce court section, and I'd like to show this area with updated courts, and some enhanced shade. I have a couple of ideas for this area on shade, but open to recommendations. Lastly, we have a dog park area that needs to have some new shade options added, which we need drawn in. Again, I'm looking for this project to get me drawnings "good enough" to print on large foam board, and present at events to begin fundraising, but not good enough that we could present them for a finished project. Here is the actual location and you can zoom in and see size and scope. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mackle+Park/@25.9314393,-81.715635,1525m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88daee3878cbc7f7:0x4a22a811c011494a!8m2!3d25.9314345!4d-81.7130547!16s%2Fg%2F1tj4c8xf?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDYwMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D Please let me know if you have questions.

Creative Brief: 16-Second Conference Ad Format: Silent LCD screen, looping Placement: Fiserv Forum Las Vegas Client: US Based Fintech The Concept A retro kung fu style video featuring an ordinary looking person, male or female, who effortlessly deflects a rapid sequence of attackers from ninjas without breaking their composure or spilling their coffee. Each attacker represents a real threat that banks face (long approval windows, old school tech, data entry, etc). Each deflection represents the platform neutralizing it. No audio. No explanation needed. The visual does all the work. The Character Age range is 30s-50s. Completely unremarkable in the best possible way. Think fleece vest, comfortable shoes, reading glasses, little overweight perhaps. The 16-Second Arc 0 to 2 seconds: Hero stands in an ordinary setting. Relaxed. Unbothered. Close up of their face looking intense and ready 3 to 12 seconds: Three to four attackers come in rapid succession. Each one is dramatic and committed. Each deflection is casual and almost accidental. Overlaid text names each threat as it gets neutralized. Suggested pairings: • Attacker swings: "LEGACY INTEGRATION" blocked • Flying kick incoming: "COMPLIANCE RISK" neutralized • Sneak attack from behind, hero sidesteps without turning: "SLOW TIME TO MARKET" stopped • Multiple attackers at once, handled without effort: "ACCOUNT OPENING + LENDING + [THIRD SOLUTION]" 13 to 14 seconds: Hero smooths their cardigan. Maybe a small "hm." Back to their coffee. 15 to 16 seconds: Logo lockup. Tagline. Suggested directions: "5 solutions, 1 platform” The Unspoken Message The banks walking by the LCD screen are largely mid-level and senior decision makers, many of them exactly this age. They see themselves. Confidence without arrogance. That is the brand feeling this needs to leave behind. Deliverables Needed • 16-second final cut optimized for silent LCD loop • Retro film grain and color grade applied • Text overlays timed to each deflection beat • Logo, tagline and QR code at close, or statically at the top of the window. • 1080(w) x 1920(h) pixels VIDEO File type: mp4 File Codec: H264 best STILL File type: jpg, RGB, 96dpi

Description We are building Cardinal Hearts, a Stanford-centered digital wellness and anonymous peer support platform designed to help students navigate romantic relationships--share experiences, seek support, access personalized resources, and foster meaningful reflection in a psychologically safe environment. The platform will be fully accessible across both mobile and desktop devices, with a seamless, intuitive experience on each. We are looking for a talented full-stack developer to build a high-resolution functional MVP/prototype with scalable frontend and backend architecture. This is not a traditional social media platform — the interaction model should feel intentional, supportive, privacy-conscious, and community-centered. --- Core Features Frontend Development We need a modern, clean, responsive application that works seamlessly across: * Mobile devices * Tablets * Desktop/laptop browsers Key features include: * Anonymous posting feed * Post creation flow * Stanford-inspired branding/aesthetic * Tagging/filter system: * “Seeking Advice” * “Just Wanted to Share” * User onboarding/login flow * Saved/bookmarked posts * Ability to “follow/save” posts for later viewing * Personal Diary feature (see below) * Responsive UI optimized for both mobile and desktop --- Community Interaction Features We want engagement to feel emotionally supportive rather than performative social media. Features include: * “I Resonated” reaction button on posts * Anonymous resonance counts visible publicly * Optional sorting/filtering by most resonated posts * Private “This Didn’t Resonate” feedback option (not visible to other users; used only for internal analytics and personalization) * Aggregate engagement signals used to improve content surfacing and recommendations --- Diary Feature (Personal Reflection System) Each user will have a **Diary**, which serves as their personal timeline of activity and reflection. Core functionality: * All public posts automatically appear in the user’s Diary, organized by date * Users can also write **private diary entries** that are never shared publicly * Clear distinction between: * Public posts (community-visible + stored in diary) * Private reflections (personal only) Diary capabilities: * Chronological timeline view of all entries * Ability to filter between public and private entries * Optional tagging of entries (e.g., reflection, advice-seeking, personal note) * Centralized place to revisit personal experiences over time --- Mood & Reflection Calendar Feature We also want a reflective mood tracking system inspired by apps like *Natural Cycles*. When users reflect or write in their diary, they can optionally select a **mood using an emoji-based system** (e.g., “Anxious 😟”, “Sad 😔”, “Calm 🙂”, etc.). Core functionality: * Users can attach a mood to each entry (optional) * Mood input should be fast and lightweight (emoji + label selection) Visualization: Users can view their data in: * Daily view (mood + associated entries) * Weekly trends * Monthly calendar or heatmap visualization of mood patterns Purpose: This feature helps users identify emotional patterns over time by connecting: * Mood states * Life events/reflections * Written posts Example: A user may notice repeated “anxious” moods on days involving a specific relationship dynamic, enabling deeper self-awareness and reflection over time. The goal is to support insight, not diagnosis — helping users better understand emotional patterns and triggers. --- Resource Library + Personalized Recommendations We are also building a curated **digital resource library** populated with materials from Stanford’s SHARE (Sexual Harassment/Assault Response & Education) office. Library may include: * Books * Articles * PDFs * Support resources * Educational materials Features: * Admin upload and management system * Categorization/tagging of resources * Personalized recommendations based on: * User posts * Diary entries * Mood data * Tag usage Recommendation system: Can initially be rules-based (no need for full AI at MVP stage) Examples: * Users expressing loneliness may be shown community/support resources * Users seeking relationship advice may receive relevant reading materials Privacy and sensitivity are critical to design. --- Analytics Dashboard (Admin/Internal) We need a basic analytics dashboard including: * Total users * Daily/weekly active users * Posts over time * Most-used tags * Most resonated-with posts * Resource engagement metrics * Repeat visitor tracking Advanced visualization requests: * Calendar view of engagement activity * Heatmap-style visualization for user engagement over time * Trend tracking for usage patterns (daily/weekly/monthly) We are open to recommendations for the best charting libraries/tools. --- Backend Development Requirements * Secure Stanford-only login/authentication * Stanford SSO preferred if feasible * Otherwise .edu-based restriction system * Database architecture and setup * Anonymous posting logic (ensuring privacy separation from identity) * User accounts and diary storage system * Saved posts/bookmarking system * Tag and category management * Moderation/reporting tools (basic MVP) * Scalable backend structure for future expansion --- Preferred Tech Stack Open to recommendations, but currently considering: * React / Next.js * Node.js * Firebase or Supabase * PostgreSQL --- Ideal Candidate * Strong full-stack web development experience * Experience building social or community platforms * Strong UI/UX instincts * Experience with authentication and secure systems * Comfortable building privacy-first products * Strong communication and fast execution mindset * Product/design thinking is a plus Bonus if you have experience with: * Anonymous social platforms * Mental wellness or student-facing products * Recommendation systems * Data visualization dashboards --- Deliverables * Functional high-fidelity MVP/prototype * Clean, documented codebase * GitHub repository handoff * Deployed staging/testing environment --- To Apply Please include: 1. Relevant portfolio/projects 2. Recommended tech stack for this build 3. Estimated timeline 4. Estimated budget range 5. Your approach to: * Anonymous posting architecture * Diary + mood tracking system * Personalized recommendation system 6. Any suggestions or improvements based on your experience We are aiming to move quickly and begin development ASAP.
