Description
We are hiring an experienced WordPress developer to convert a complete HTML prototype into a production platform for a food-trade market intelligence company focused on the China–Eurasia corridor. What you get on day one: a full static prototype in 3 languages (structure, approved copy, photos, JSON report catalog), a detailed Statement of Work, and admin-screen mockups. You are not inventing the product — you are building it to spec. Scope (3 milestones): • Milestone 1 (weeks 1–4): custom responsive theme built from the prototype; EN core pages (Home, About, Research, Reports catalog view, Press/Media kit, Contact); SEO foundation; staging environment. • Milestone 2 (weeks 5–8): WooCommerce report catalog; payments (Stripe + PayPal + invoice/bank transfer); customer accounts; secure PDF delivery — signed expiring links, files stored outside the web root, PDF watermarking; download logging. • Milestone 3 (weeks 9–13): RU/ZH language versions (WPML or Polylang, correct hreflang); Robert AI landing page with waitlist form; security and performance audit; production launch; handover documentation and training. Requirements: • 3+ years of commercial WordPress: custom themes from scratch (no page-builder assemblies), Custom Post Types, ACF. • Proven WooCommerce experience with digital products and download protection — you will be asked to show a live example. • Multilingual site experience (WPML/Polylang) and a working understanding of hreflang. • Security fundamentals: user role
