Job Description

Project Overview

We are an IT solutions company specializing in website development and digital services for hair salons. We’re looking for an expert-level WordPress designer/developer who can create a truly unique, highly engaging, and visually striking website—something far beyond a typical WordPress template. This site should serve as our primary showcase, reflecting the high-quality services we provide to our clients.

Key Objective: Develop a custom, modern WordPress site with exceptional design, user experience, and interactive elements that stands out in a crowded digital landscape. We want a website that immediately impresses visitors and highlights our expertise.

Our Expectations & Goals

1. Distinctive Visual Design: A fresh, cutting-edge look and feel, possibly involving micro-animations, parallax scrolling, or other interactive elements. We’re not looking for a standard, cookie-cutter template.

2. Immersive User Experience (UX): An intuitive site structure and navigation that keeps visitors engaged and guides them seamlessly to our services.

3. Brand Consistency & Impact: The design should align with our brand identity, but also elevate it to the next level.

4. Performance & Responsiveness: High-speed performance, optimized across all devices and browsers.

5. Scalability & Maintainability: A well-organized codebase and robust backend that we can update easily after launch.

Scope of Work

1. Concept & UI/UX Design

• Work closely with us to develop a unique design concept (wireframes, mockups, prototypes).

• Incorporate advanced design features or animations where relevant.

• Establish a look that’s professional, modern, and “inviting” to our salon-focused audience.

2. Custom WordPress Development

• Build a bespoke WordPress theme from scratch or significantly customize an existing theme so it looks and feels unique.

• Write clean, maintainable code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP) to deliver the designed functionalities.

• Integrate any required plugins, ensuring seamless performance and security.

3. Advanced Functionality & Integrations

• Potential integration of booking or scheduling systems (if required) for client demos.

• Include any interactive elements (e.g., lead capture forms, chat features, or unique user flows).

4. SEO & Performance Optimization

• Implement best practices for on-page SEO (title tags, meta descriptions, URL structure).

• Optimize images and code for fast loading times and high Core Web Vitals scores.

5. Cross-Browser & Responsive Testing

• Ensure pixel-perfect design across all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

• Guarantee smooth, responsive rendering on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

6. Final Delivery & Handover

• Provide thorough documentation or training so our team can manage content updates and site hosting going forward.

• Handover of all relevant files, licenses, and credentials.
