| Description: | Project overview The Software Consulting Group (SCG) is an independent advisory firm based in Toronto. We are migrating our website from Wix to WordPress.com Business and building a reusable template system that will support ongoing publishing without developer dependency for routine content. This is a fixed-fee foundation build engagement (approximately 4 weeks of specialist work) followed by an optional monthly retainer for ongoing technical support. Stack constraints (non-negotiable) - WordPress.com Business plan only - Kadence theme with native block editor (no Elementor, Divi, or other page builders) - Rank Math Pro for SEO and schema - Gravity Forms or Fluent Forms (one only, specialist choice) - 8-plugin maximum across the site - All premium plugin licenses owned by SCG, not specialist agency licenses Scope - WordPress.com Business setup, configuration, and integrations - Kadence theme configuration to SCG brand standards - 10 Synced Patterns (reusable section components for Quick Answer, Data Matrix, Sources and Context, Confidential CTA, and others) - 7 page templates: Flagship Vendor Hub, Light Vendor Hub, High-Intent Issue Page, Service Page, Trust Page, Intelligence Paper, and Paid Landing Page (the landing page template is an optional add-on) - Home page within the foundation build - Wix-to-WordPress.com migration: URL inventory, redirect mapping - CSV implementation, DNS coordination, preservation of nine years of search history - Schema configuration via Rank Math (Organization, Person, Service, Article, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList) - Mobile responsive design and Core Web Vitals optimization - One sample populated reference page (Oracle Java flagship) built to demonstrate the system - Documentation package, recorded training session, and 30-day post-launch support Required experience - Demonstrated WordPress.com Business builds (not WordPress.org self-hosted). Please share at least 2 to 3 examples - Kadence theme depth: configuration, global styles, header/footer builder, mobile defaults - Rank Math Pro schema configuration - Wix-to-WordPress.com migration with URL preservation and redirect discipline - Native block editor and Synced Patterns work - Mobile-first responsive design Preferred - North American time zone for migration cutover coordination and post-launch urgent fixes - Senior advisory or B2B brand sensibility (no popups, no countdown timers, no SaaS gimmickry) - Comfort with fixed-fee quoting and milestone-based delivery - Engagement model Fixed-fee quote for Phase 1 foundation build delivered across four milestones at 25 percent each. Optional monthly retainer for ongoing technical support and Phase 2 feature builds (estimated 2 to 5 hours per month included, with overflow billed hourly at an agreed rate). To apply Email with: - Two to three examples of WordPress.com Business builds with Kadence - Brief note on how you would approach the Wix-to-WordPress.com migration, particularly URL preservation, redirect mapping, and DNS cutover safeguards - Indicative range or fixed-fee quote for Phase 1 scope - Confirmation of weekly capacity availability across a 4-week build period - Your time zone - Full project brief shared with shortlisted candidates. |
