Freelancer job ad for Solis Florals WordPress website build WordPress website build — Solis Florals (premium florist, Melbourne) Fixed price · Web design & development · WordPress OVERVIEW I'm looking for an experienced WordPress developer to build a clean, elegant website for Solis Florals — a premium bespoke floral design studio based in Melbourne, specialising in Australian native flowers. The site needs to reflect a high-end, editorial aesthetic that speaks to wedding, funeral, and corporate clients. The domain is registered and WordPress-ready hosting is already set up through VentraIP — I just need someone to build it. PAGES REQUIRED Home About Services (weddings, funerals, corporate, gifts) Gallery / portfolio Contact Enquire / book a consultation KEY REQUIREMENTS Enquiry/contact forms (containing clear starting prices and processes) rather than direct e-commerce checkout — clients need to consult before receiving a quote, so no Shopify-style cart is needed. Or setup of a "Catalog Mode" to display items for once off 'gifts' section without direct checkout. Fully mobile responsive Clean, modern aesthetic — minimal, premium feel Basic on-page SEO setup (page titles, meta descriptions, headings) Easy for me to update content myself after handover - A "Sold" Functionality for once off gift arrangements that I can manually upload myself. WHAT I'LL PROVIDE Partial branding assets (some elements ready such as my logo — may need minor guidance on fonts/colour palette) Partial content — some copy and photos ready, some placeholder content may be needed initially VentraIP hosting access Clear direction on brand look and feel IDEAL APPLICANT Strong WordPress portfolio, ideally with service-based or creative/lifestyle businesses Eye for design — this isn't a template-and-done job, the visual outcome matters Good communicator who can work collaboratively and take feedback Experience with enquiry/contact form plugins (e.g. WPForms, Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7) Based anywhere — remote is fine, but responsive communication is a must BUDGET $600–$1,000 AUD fixed Please include a link to relevant past work in your proposal. Bids without portfolio examples will not be considered. SKILLS WordPress Web design CSS Mobile responsive Contact forms SEO basics Elementor / Divi Attached is my logo and my older limited website pages. I am not looking to copy my current site, I want it to be elevated into a more refined, high-end version. The current version feels too templated and limited. What I like about my current site: Strong storytelling and meaning behind the brand Focus on sculptural, artistic florals Use of real work and imagery What I want improved: More premium, editorial layout (less “boxed sections”) Better use of white space and typography More visual impact (hero images, flow, layout) Overall feel of a design studio, not a standard florist Brand direction: Solis Florals is not a traditional florist. It is: Artistic Symbolic Nature-led Design-focused The website should feel more like: a creative studio / artist portfolio than a retail flower shop Aesthetic: Sculptural, story-driven floral art pieces for meaningful moments. Reference attached pdf from my old wensite for vibe- the content is right, the design execution needs to be elevated to match the brand's premium positioning. Think less DIY WordPress, more editorial botanical studio.
