We are seeking an experienced WordPress designer to assist with the initial setup and customization of a website using a pre-selected template-based theme. The site is already hosted on our server, with the theme uploaded and access credentials ready to be provided upon hiring. This is a straightforward, short-term project aimed at establishing the foundational structure, allowing our junior team member to subsequently upload images and content. Key Responsibilities: * Customize the header and footer to align with our branding guidelines (specifications will be provided). * Design and configure the homepage and additional landing pages (approximately 3-5 pages) for optimal user experience and navigation. * Ensure the site is prepared for easy image and content uploads, including placeholder elements and responsive layouts. * Verify compatibility across devices (desktop, tablet, mobile) and perform basic testing for functionality. No advanced coding or plugin development is required; the focus is on efficient theme customization to create a clean, professional framework. Required Skills and Qualifications: * Proven expertise in WordPress theme installation and customization. * Strong understanding of web design principles, including layout, typography, and color schemes. * Familiarity with popular WordPress themes (e.g., Astra, GeneratePress, or similar template-based options). * Ability to work independently with provided access and deliver high-quality results promptly. * A portfolio demonstrating relevant WordPress projects is essential. Project Details: * Duration: This is a quick job, expected to take 5 hours. * Budget: Fixed price of $150. * Timeline: Completion within 3-5 days from project start. * Communication: We will use Upwork messaging for updates and feedback. If you have the necessary skills and can commit to a rapid turnaround, please submit your proposal including: * A brief overview of your relevant experience. * Links to your portfolio or examples of similar WordPress customizations. * Your availability and proposed timeline. We look forward to reviewing your application and collaborating on this project
