URGENT WordPress Developer Needed — 30 - 35 Page Custom Website — Must Be Built This Week

We are looking for a **highly experienced WordPress developer or small development team** to complete a custom WordPress website on an **URGENT timeline**.

**You must be available to start immediately and have the website substantially completed THIS WEEK.**

We already have the majority of the project planned and prepared, including:

* Website content
* Sitemap
* Page structure
* HTML prototypes
* Design direction
* SEO information
* Developer instructions
* Forms and functionality requirements

You will **not** be starting from scratch.

We will provide additional project information, files, and client-specific details **privately to qualified applicants only**.

Project Scope

This is approximately a **30–35 page WordPress website** with several dynamic content sections.

We need someone who can take supplied HTML/content/design direction and rebuild it properly within WordPress.

This is **NOT simply a WordPress theme installation project.**

We need a developer who understands how to build a clean, professional, fast, mobile-first website that is easy for the client to maintain.

The project will include:

* Approximately 30–35 pages/content areas
* Custom WordPress page templates
* Responsive/mobile-first development
* Reusable WordPress components
* Custom post types
* Dynamic content sections
* Blog/news functionality
* Events functionality
* Multiple website forms
* Form notifications and routing
* Email confirmations
* CRM/email platform integration
* UTM/tracking field capture
* GA4
* Google Tag Manager
* Google Search Console
* Conversion tracking
* Technical SEO
* 301 redirects where necessary
* XML sitemap
* Open Graph/social sharing configuration
* Image optimization
* Performance optimization
* Core Web Vitals optimization
* WordPress security
* SMTP/email delivery configuration
* Staging environment
* Final production launch

Custom WordPress Functionality

The site will require several manageable WordPress systems rather than hard-coded pages.

You should be comfortable creating:

Custom Post Types

Custom post types and fields will be required for several sections of the website.

These may include:

* Events
* Resource/document listings
* Testimonials/endorsements
* News/content
* Other structured content

Experience with **ACF or similar WordPress custom-field systems** is strongly preferred.

The client must be able to easily add, edit, categorize, publish, and remove this content after the website is completed.

Events

The site will include an event management section with functionality such as:

* Upcoming events
* Past events
* Dates and times
* Event descriptions
* Locations
* RSVP functionality
* Add-to-calendar functionality
* Automatic movement of completed events into past events

### Forms

There will be multiple forms throughout the website.

Gravity Forms may include:

* Contact forms
* Signup forms
* Request forms
* RSVP forms
* Submission forms
* Newsletter/email forms

Forms will need to support:

* Conditional fields where required
* UTM tracking
* Referring page
* Landing page
* Form notifications
* Confirmation emails
* Routing submissions to different recipients
* CRM/email integrations

Gravity Forms experience is a plus.

Mobile First

**Mobile performance is extremely important.**

The website must look and function properly across:

* iPhone
* Android
* Tablets
* Laptops
* Desktop computers

Navigation, forms, buttons, typography, spacing and calls to action must all work extremely well on smaller screens.

Website Performance

We do NOT want a bloated website loaded with unnecessary plugins.

You should understand:

* WebP/AVIF
* Image compression
* Lazy loading
* Caching
* CSS optimization
* JavaScript optimization
* Core Web Vitals
* PageSpeed optimization
* Mobile performance
* WordPress database/plugin optimization

The site will be tested for performance before final approval.

## SEO

You must have experience implementing technical WordPress SEO.

This includes:

* Title tags
* Meta descriptions
* Proper heading structure
* Canonical URLs
* Clean URL structure
* XML sitemap
* Image ALT attributes
* Internal linking
* Open Graph tags
* Social sharing
* 301 redirects
* Google Search Console
* Indexing controls

We will do most of this, but we need them in place.

Email / SMTP

You should understand dependable WordPress email delivery, including:

* SMTP
* Transactional email
* SPF
* DKIM
* DMARC
* Form notifications
* Email delivery testing

Staging

Development must take place on a staging website.

The staging environment should be:

* Protected from search engines
* Available for our team to review
* Updated regularly during development

We expect to see progress throughout the project rather than receiving everything at the end.
