This job posting is designed to attract high-tier Kadence specialists. It uses the technical details you provided to signal that you are an "informed client," which naturally scares off low-quality bidders and attracts pros.

Job Title:
Expert Kadence WP Developer: 2-Site Build (Custom CSS & Precise Design Match)

Job Description:
I am looking for a high-level WordPress Developer to build two related B2B software review sites using the Kadence Theme (Pro) and Kadence Blocks.

I have high-fidelity HTML mockups and a complete technical specification. I am not looking for a "template-swap." I need a developer who understands custom CSS variables, typography rendering on dark backgrounds, and clean site architecture.

The Project:

Site 1: theoperatorgrade.com (Master Brand)

Site 2: propertymanagementsoftwarereviews.com (Niche Review Site)

The Vibe: Premium, dark-mode UI with specific noise textures, grid patterns, and "frosted glass" navigation.

Technical Requirements:

Stack: Kadence Theme / Blocks + Cloudways Hosting.

Styling: Precise execution of hex codes, font weights (DM Sans 300, Bebas Neue), and CSS effects (backdrop-filter, rgba overlays).

Performance: Must score 80+ on PageSpeed Insights (Mobile).

SEO/Ops: Configuration of Rank Math, WP Rocket, and Pretty Links redirects.

Architecture: Setting up 11 category pages and various review "stub" pages using a scalable template approach (not manual cloning).

What I Provide:

Full HTML mockups.

Exact CSS specifications (colors, fonts, spacing).

Complete site map and URL structure.

Server access (Cloudways).

Budget & Milestones:
Total Fixed Price: $1,000

Milestone 1 ($400): Site 1 Build + Global CSS/Patterns + 11 Category Shells.

Milestone 2 ($400): Site 2 Build + Network Cross-Linking + Plugin Configurations.

Milestone 3 ($200): Final QA (Mobile optimization, Speed Test, DNS cutover).

How to Apply:

Start your application with the phrase "Pixel Perfect."

Briefly describe how you would implement a fixed-position noise texture overlay without impacting performance.

Provide 2-3 examples of sites you have built specifically using Kadence. Bonus points for dark-mode or B2B professional service examples.

Hello!
I would like to do some work on my WordPress site. I’m using WPBakery, but I also have a lot of custom coding.

To start, I’d like to begin with a small project: adding a donation button to the top of the pages (in the header). After that, I’ll need additional work across the entire website.

I’ve already created a staging site. Please let me know how we can work together.

We’d like to engage an experienced web developer to rebuild our website from the ground up. The goal is to create a clean, modern site that reflects our brand and is easy to maintain internally.

We are a small family owned business. We run our own updates on our website and manage our own social media. We don’t have the budget to keep a developer in house or to outsource the full website development so we do as much as we can. We have hit a roadblock trying to improve the performance of our website.

About us:
Norfolk Kitchen & Bath is a family-owned kitchen and bath remodeling company in business since 1934, with six design showrooms across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We're rebuilding our website from scratch and looking for the right developer to bring it to life.

What we already have:
We've done the groundwork. We have a fully designed HTML/CSS homepage prototype built with Claude, established brand colors and typography, all existing site content and photography, and a clear site map. You are not starting from a blank page — you're building from a strong foundation.

What we need built:
Convert our HTML/CSS prototype into a WordPress theme. We prefer a clean block theme without heavy page builders, but are open to discussion if you have a strong case for your approach.
Build approximately 15–20 page templates: homepage, 6 location pages, kitchen remodeling, bath remodeling, design process, inspiration gallery, meet the team, about, contractors, and contact
Mobile-responsive, fast-loading build optimized for Core Web Vitals
Clean CMS setup so our internal marketing team can manage content post-launch without a developer
Hosting migration (platform TBD) with 301 redirects to protect our existing SEO rankings
Brief training handoff for our team at launch

Uses AI tools — Claude Code, Cursor, or similar — as an active part of your development workflow
Experience building WordPress sites for service businesses or multi-location brands
Strong communicator who can work directly with a small, non-technical marketing team
Honest about scope and timeline — no surprises

In your proposal, please tell us:
2–3 examples of WordPress sites you've built, especially for service or multi-location businesses
How you use AI tools in your development process
Your approach and timeline for a project this size
Your fixed-price quote

One sentence describing your worst client/project experience and what you learned from it.
The word "Bluebonnet" at the top of your reply so I know you read this whole post.

Budget:
$500-$1000 per full site build. Higher for complex projects. Looking for someone where this is a long-term relationship, not a one-off.

I am looking to improve my language academy website built on WordPress with enhancements to performance, UI/UX, and technical configurations. The project involves improving both the front-end and back-end aspects of the website to ensure a seamless user experience and optimal functionality.

We are a WordPress-focused development team working primarily with agencies and complex client projects.
We’re looking to expand our bench with a high-level developer who is comfortable working on custom, non-trivial WordPress / WooCommerce builds - not template-based or plugin-stacking work.
This is a test post to identify developers for ongoing collaboration.

What we typically work on

Our projects are not standard brochure sites. Most involve:

Custom WooCommerce functionality (checkout flows, payments, subscriptions, logic)
Performance optimization (Core Web Vitals, real traffic, not just Lighthouse scores)
Large or complex websites (multi-language, multi-site, high content volume)
Advanced ACF usage (Options Pages, flexible content, structured systems)
Gutenberg / custom blocks (not just classic editor or builders)
API integrations (CRMs, marketing tools, automation systems)
Debugging complex issues (plugin conflicts, server-level issues, database problems)


What this is NOT

Not Elementor-only work
Not “install a theme and tweak it”
Not short-term one-off fixes
We’re specifically looking for developers who:

Understand when to use WordPress - and when to go beyond default behavior
Can build custom functionality using hooks, filters, and proper architecture
Think in systems, not pages

Requirements

4+ years of WordPress / WooCommerce experience
Strong PHP, JavaScript, MySQL
Experience with custom themes / plugins
Solid understanding of performance and scalability
Good communication (written English is enough)

How we work

Long-term collaboration (many of our projects run for months/years)
Direct communication (Slack / task managers)
Clear structure and expectations
Focus on quality over quantity

I am looking for an experienced web developer/designer to build a professional website for my client.

I need AriesPeptideResearch.com to run flawlessly. It has to be perfect. No mistakes, no dead pages, & no glitches. The four documents I attached and sent to Arif must be corrected. They contained snippets like: Functionally basic but incomplete. The site loads and displays core content, but it has significant gaps in SEO, user experience friction, missing metadata, limited navigation visibility, and incomplete contact/support details. No major broken links or critical crashes were detected on the homepage, but the site feels early-stage/minimally launched.
Critical Issues (Priority High):
• No meta description
• Poor navigation visibility
• Age gate creates friction
• Missing contact page/phone/email
• Weak SEO foundation
• Legal disclaimers are present but should be strengthened for a research chemical site
and
• Issues Detected:
o Navigation menu is not clearly visible or structured in the crawled content (only implied sections like “Best Sellers”, “Why choose Aries”, “Peptide Research”, “SENTINEL”).
o No obvious search bar, filters, or advanced product browsing on homepage.
o No visible mobile-specific problems in crawl, but responsive testing is recommended.
o Promotional banner (Free shipping over $300, same-day dispatch) is present but not prominently interactive.
Recommendation for Perfection:
• Test all product pages, checkout flow, and payment integration end-to-end.
• Add a prominent search bar and category navigation (Peptides, Bioregulators, Capsules, Testing Supplies, Apparel).
• Implement proper 404 handling and XML sitemap.
• Pain Points:
o Age Gate Friction: Forces every new visitor to click “Yes” — this can increase bounce rate significantly. Many legitimate researchers may find it annoying.
o Navigation: Hard to find menu items; users may struggle to explore the full catalog.
o Trust & Support: No visible phone number, live chat, or dedicated “Contact Us” link in the summary. Researchers often need technical support (reconstitution, storage, dosing guidance for lab use).
o Onboarding: New visitors land on age gate instead of value proposition. The headline “Advanced Research Compounds” is generic.
o Mobile: Not fully evaluated, but e-commerce sites in this niche must be excellent on mobile.
• Make the age gate a one-time cookie-based modal or move it to a less intrusive footer warning.
• Redesign navigation: Clear top menu with Home, Shop (with categories), Best Sellers, About/Quality, Blog/Research, Contact, Sentinel Apparel.
• Add trust signals higher up: Published COAs, lab test links, customer/researcher testimonials (if compliant).
• Improve CTA clarity: “Browse Catalog” button should link to a proper shop page with filters.
• Add helpful lab resources: Reconstitution guides, storage tips, peptide calculator (as downloadable PDFs or gated content).
SEO & On-Page Optimization
Current Weaknesses:
• Title: “Home - Aries Peptide Research” — acceptable but could be more keyword-rich.
• Meta Description: Completely missing — major SEO issue. Search engines will auto-generate one, often poorly.
• Headings: Main headline “Advanced Research Compounds” is okay, but H1/H2 structure needs optimization for keywords like “research peptides”, “BPC-157 buy”, “buy TB-500 for research”, etc.
• Content: Thin on unique, in-depth content. Heavy on sales with limited educational/research-oriented text.
• Technical SEO: No information on schema markup (Product, Organization), robots.txt, or sitemap visibility.
• Keywords: Site targets “research peptides”, “premium peptides”, but competition is high in this niche (many similar stores).
Recommendations for SEO Perfection:
• Add compelling meta title and description: e.g., Title: “Buy Research Peptides | 99%+ Purity BPC-157, TB-500 & More | Aries Peptide Research” Meta Description: “Premium research peptides and compounds for laboratory use. 99%+ purity, third-party tested with published COAs. Fast USA shipping. For research purposes only.”
• Optimize product pages with unique descriptions, bullet-point benefits (for lab use), and structured data.
• Create a blog section with research summaries, peptide guides, and industry news to build topical authority.
• Ensure fast loading (compress images, enable caching).
• Submit sitemap to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
• Build backlinks ethically (avoid black-hat tactics common in this industry).
Note on Niche SEO: Peptide/research chemical sites often face advertising and visibility restrictions on Google/Facebook. Focus on organic search, Reddit, forums, and email marketing.
5. Design, Content & Branding
• Strengths: Professional tone, strong emphasis on purity/testing/USA manufacturing, good use of trust badges.
• Issues:
o Visuals not fully described (assume product images exist but verify quality/resolution).
o “SENTINEL” apparel section feels tacked on — clarify branding connection.
o Footer lacks full links and contact details.
• Improvements:
o Consistent branding across all pages.
o High-quality product photography + COA download buttons on every product.
o Add “Lab Resources” or “Research Library” section.
o Ensure all disclaimers are prominent and repeated on every product page.
6. Legal, Compliance & Risk Areas
• Positive: Clear, repeated disclaimers — “For laboratory research and in-vitro use only. Not for human consumption.” “Not a pharmacy.”
• Recommendations:
o Strengthen age gate with explicit legal language.
o Add full Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Shipping/Returns, and Refund Policy pages (required for e-commerce).
o Consult a lawyer familiar with research chemical regulations (FDA, DEA gray areas). This niche carries legal risk.
o Ensure COAs are genuinely available and up-to-date for every batch.
7. Missing Elements for a “Perfect” Site
• Dedicated Contact page with email, support ticket system, or phone.
• Account/login system for repeat researchers.
• Advanced filters and sorting on shop page.
• Integration with analytics (Google Analytics 4, pixel if compliant).
• Security: SSL (assumed active), trust seals.
• Accessibility compliance (WCAG basics).
• Compliance Note: The site correctly emphasizes “research use only, not for human consumption.” However, accepting credit cards requires full PCI DSS compliance (secure payment gateway, tokenization, no storage of card data). U.S. laws like the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA) and Truth in Lending Act (TILA) mandate clear disclosures on billing, disputes, refunds, and consumer protections. The site must use a reputable processor (e.g., Stripe, Authorize.net, PayPal) that handles PCI DSS Level 1 compliance.
• Limitations Observed: Navigation menu appears minimal or not fully extracted in crawls (only product-specific links prominent). No visible full shop/category browsing on homepage. Checkout flow not fully testable without adding items and proceeding.
• Compliance Note: The site correctly emphasizes “research use only, not for human consumption.” However, accepting credit cards requires full PCI DSS compliance (secure payment gateway, tokenization, no storage of card data).

Navigation & Link Testing
• Detected Links (Validated):
o Product pages: /product/bpc-157/, /product/tb-500/, /product/cjc-1295-no-dac/ — all resolve and display product details with variants (“Select options”).
o Best Sellers / Featured Compounds section links to the above products.
• Other Sections: “Why choose Aries,” “Peptide Research,” “SENTINEL” (apparel), newsletter signup.
• Issues: No prominent top-level navigation menu (Shop All, Categories, Blog, Contact) fully visible in crawls. Footer links appear limited.
• Status: Core product links work. Full site crawl suggests the catalog is small (100+ products claimed, but only a few prominently featured). Recommendation: Test full flow: Add multiple items → Update quantities → Apply coupon (if any) → View totals including shipping (Free over $300 or $200 noted — inconsistency should be fixed).
6. Credit Card Checkout & Payment Compliance
• Current Status: Checkout page not fully accessible in public crawl without adding items and proceeding. No payment form details extracted (expected for security).
• PCI DSS Compliance Requirements (USA):
o Businesses must use a PCI DSS compliant gateway that tokenizes card data — never store full card numbers on your servers.
o Conduct regular vulnerability scans, penetration testing, and maintain secure hosting.
o Provide clear privacy policy, terms of service, and refund/chargeback procedures.
• EFTA & TILA Protections:
o Disclose all fees, billing descriptors, and dispute resolution processes upfront.
o Offer easy access to transaction history and support for unauthorized charge disputes.
• Site Readiness: Disclaimers are strong on research use only. However, explicit payment and shipping policies appear missing or not prominent. Same-day dispatch and shipping claims need accurate backing.
• Risk: If using a non-compliant or custom payment setup, high liability for data breaches. Recommend integrated processors like Stripe (strong PCI compliance) or PayPal.

Recommendation for Perfection:
• Integrate a PCI-compliant gateway with 3D Secure.
• Add clear checkout steps, guest checkout option, and saved addresses (with login).
• Display accepted cards, security badges, and full Terms/Privacy/Refund pages before payment.
• Test entire flow end-to-end manually: Product → Cart → Checkout → Payment simulation (use test cards).
• Log and monitor for errors (use tools like Query Monitor or server logs).
7. Other Functionality
• Newsletter signup: Present but form details limited.
• Mobile responsiveness: Assumed standard but requires manual testing across devices.
• Performance: Loads reasonably; optimize images and enable caching for speed.
• Security: HTTPS assumed active; verify no mixed content.
Overall Functionality Score & Fixes
• Score: 6.5/10 — Functional for basic browsing and product viewing; gaps in navigation depth, full catalog access, and untested checkout completion.
• Immediate Fixes: Fix shipping threshold inconsistency ($200 vs $300), add full navigation, create dedicated Contact/Support page, publish all required legal pages.
• Tools for Self-Testing: Use browser dev tools, Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, WAVE accessibility checker, and manual checkout with test payment modes.
Currently it has a 6.5/10 and a 68%. I need these to be 9.5/10 and 97% or above before the final payment is made. Arif has a great 90- Day plan. This too should be executed as written before the final payment is due. From May 1 2026 through July 31, 2026 we should be meeting at least twice a week to discuss the progress and success of the website. I am flexible on times. I will pay $300 at the first milestone (May 31, 2026) , $300 at the second (June 30, 2026) and $300 at the last milestone which will be July 31, 2026. Before I pay all progress must be verified.


Recommendation: Implement a clear mega-menu or sidebar with categories (Peptides, Bioregulators, Capsules, Testing Supplies, Sentinel Apparel). Test every internal link with tools like Screaming Frog or Google Search Console.
The 90-day plan should be fully executes and applied and effective as the contract is to end on 7-31-2026. The four attachments I sent through plus what Arif has in his 90 Day plan must all be competed in their entirety before the final payment is made. Please be advised I need the site to work perfectly as I am trying to get it featured in a news write up where you will be mentioned as well.

There is more info to give, we will provide the brand document, messaging framework, value propositon and campaign framework. We need the assets built, the social media, the email (EDM) sequences and potentially some further work on the wordpress site (landing pages etc - although these might not fall within the initial project). Your experience and references look really good. I am new to Upwork (I was on Fiverr), so I am a little unsure of the process on this platform.
Are you interested in finding out more about this job? I have a consultant who will get you the campaign framework around the middle of next week. The turn-around is looking fairly tight. If this campaign goes well, I would aim to repeat this every 2-3 months with you. There is some other 'tidy-up' stuff to do as well.
