Upwork • , US • Remote
Posted on: 23rd March, 2025
Employment Type: CONTRACTOR
Job Description
We’re looking for an experienced and talented WordPress web designer/developer to create a professional, user-friendly website that balances excellent design with powerful functionality. This website needs to not only look great but also be built to perform at its best — fast loading times, smooth user experience, and optimized for SEO. The goal is to provide a seamless experience for users while also empowering us to post blog content, manage bookings, and integrate online sales.
Key Features:
Modern and Attractive Design:
Design a sleek, professional-looking website that is visually appealing and easy to navigate.
Ensure it is mobile-responsive and looks great across all devices (desktop, tablet, mobile).
Smooth animations (like fades, transitions, or scroll effects) to keep the website dynamic and engaging.
Blog Management System:
Implement a simple and intuitive system for posting, editing, and managing blog content.
Ensure blog posts are SEO-optimized (proper use of headers, meta tags, and structured data).
Integrate categories and tags to help users navigate and discover relevant articles.
SEO Setup & Optimization:
Ensure the website is built with SEO best practices, focusing on keyword-rich URLs, meta descriptions, alt text for images, and structured data.
Integrate plugins like Yoast SEO or another SEO tool to ensure content is optimized for search engines.
Prioritize fast page load times and performance optimization (minimize large files, utilize caching, etc.).
Make the website easy to update and maintain for ongoing SEO efforts.
Booking System:
Integrate a booking system that allows users to schedule time slots with me (or your team) in 15-minute increments.
Ensure users can see available time blocks and easily book their spot, with features for setting open/closed hours and managing appointments.
Add a clean, user-friendly interface for both the customer and backend management.
Subscription Integration:
Implement a simple subscription model that allows users to sign up and purchase subscriptions (e.g., for content, services, or memberships).
Integrate a secure payment gateway (like Stripe, PayPal, etc.) for processing payments.
Ensure the subscription system is scalable and easy to manage.
Speed and Performance Optimization:
Optimize the site for speed, ensuring fast loading times by using appropriate tools and techniques (caching, image optimization, script minification).
Configure website settings to maximize performance, improving user experience and SEO ranking.
Ongoing Maintenance (Optional):
After the website is built, we will need support for basic ongoing updates (blog content, image/video updates, calendar adjustments, SEO tweaks, etc.).
We are looking for someone who can provide ongoing maintenance and make simple edits as needed.
Skills & Experience Required:
WordPress Development: Strong experience in building custom WordPress websites, especially focusing on design, functionality, and performance.
SEO Knowledge: Deep understanding of SEO practices, with a proven track record of implementing SEO strategies that boost organic traffic.
Booking System Integration: Familiarity with integrating scheduling tools or calendar systems (e.g., Bookly, Calendly, or similar).
eCommerce/Subscription Integration: Experience with setting up payment systems and subscription models (e.g., WooCommerce, Stripe, PayPal).
Performance Optimization: Knowledge of website performance tools (e.g., GTmetrix, Google PageSpeed) and techniques for improving site speed.
Design & User Experience: Strong skills in web design, ensuring the website is not only functional but visually appealing and easy to navigate.
Timeline and Budget:
Please provide an estimated timeline for delivering the website, along with key milestones for review.
Include your rate and preferred payment structure (hourly or fixed price).
How to Apply:
Provide a brief overview of similar WordPress projects you’ve worked on and share links to your previous work (portfolio, live websites).
Describe your approach to optimizing a WordPress site for SEO and performance.
Highlight any relevant experience with booking systems and subscription integrations.
Share your availability and how you prefer to communicate throughout the project.
IN SUMMARY, We are looking for high-quality work with best practices in both design and SEO. Of course we want to keep costs low, we also want the very best. Please submit real proposals and not copy/paste info. I look forward to hearing from you. If you know you're the right fit for the tasks and for a stunning review from me to help spread the word of your expertise, send your proposal with details. Thanks.
