Snowstorms.ca Weather Platform Project Phase: Phase 1 Platform: WordPress + Elementor Pro Weather Provider: WeatherAPI.com Starter Plan (3 Million API Calls / Month) 1. Project Overview I'm building Snowstorms.ca, a Canadian weather website focused on live weather, weather education, historical weather events, and winter weather. The website already contains approximately 50 weather articles. The next phase is to build the live weather platform. My goal is to build the foundation of a professional weather website similar to The Weather Network or Weather.com, but designed specifically for WordPress and Elementor Pro. For Phase 1, I will be using the WeatherAPI.com Starter Plan (3 million API calls/month). The initial launch will support the following provinces in Canada: Ontario Alberta Manitoba The plugin should be built so additional provinces can easily be added later. 2. Project Goals The goal is to build a custom WordPress plugin that: Connects to WeatherAPI.com Imports municipalities Bulk creates municipality weather pages Creates province hub pages Allows me to build the page layouts using Elementor Provides reusable weather shortcodes that automatically display the correct weather for each location I am not looking for a page designer. I will design the pages myself using Elementor Pro. I need a developer to build the weather engine that powers the website. Elementor Templates I will create the following templates in Elementor: 1. Weather Hub /weather/ 2. Province Hub
