WordPress Landing Page Redesign

We need a freelancer to redesign an existing WordPress landing page for CityTech Nice using the Woodmart theme. The work includes updating the layout, improving visual appeal, and ensuring the page is clean, modern, and easy to navigate. You should be able to work from the current site and make thoughtful design improvements that support a better user experience. Please share relevant examples of similar landing page redesigns and your approach to refining an existing page. # WordPress / Woodmart Homepage Redesign, WooCommerce Audit & Lead-Generation Forms — City Tech Nice ## Project Overview We are **City Tech**, an established technology retail, repair, installation, and professional services business based in Nice, France. Founded in **2008**, City Tech provides solutions for individuals, SMEs, institutions, international contractors, embassies, and consulates. Our activities include technology retail, smartphone and computer repair, data recovery, CCTV and alarm installation, IT infrastructure, and several local convenience services. Our current homepage is almost entirely focused on the WooCommerce product catalog. It does not properly present our services, experience, track record, team, local presence, or professional capabilities. We are looking for an experienced WordPress developer/designer to: 1. Audit and clean up the existing website. 2. Correct WooCommerce product, shipping, and plugin-related issues. 3. Design and build a new professional homepage section **above the existing product catalog**. 4. Add a structured lead-generation form for our new digitalisation and social media support services. The existing WooCommerce shop and product sections must remain operational and must not be removed or replaced. **Website:** citytech.fr **Location:** Nice, France **Stack:** WordPress, Woodmart theme, WooCommerce, Slider Revolution, and the page builder currently used by the website. Applicants must confirm that they have direct experience with this exact or closely comparable stack. --- ## Main Objectives The redesigned homepage should present City Tech as: * An established and experienced local company. * A reliable provider of technical and security solutions. * A warm, approachable business with real local expertise. * A company capable of supporting both individuals and professional organisations. * A multi-service local point of contact in Nice. * A trusted partner for installation, maintenance, retail, IT, security, and digitalisation projects. The visual style should be clean, modern, professional, reassuring, mobile-friendly, and consistent with the existing Woodmart design. The result must not look like a generic corporate template. --- # Phase 1 — Website Audit, Cleanup and Technical Corrections Before or alongside the homepage redesign, the selected freelancer must perform a complete audit of the existing website. ## 1. General Website Audit Please check for: * Broken links. * Missing images or assets. * JavaScript and browser console errors. * PHP or WordPress errors that are accessible through the existing environment. * Mobile and tablet display problems. * Duplicate content or duplicated sections. * Old, unused, or hidden page sections. * Unused scripts, CSS, shortcodes, widgets, and template elements. * Dead code or leftover content from previous versions of the website. * Incorrect redirects. * Unnecessary popups or interface elements. * Forms that no longer work. * Problems affecting page speed, navigation, or usability. Anything unnecessary should be cleaned up carefully. No destructive deletion should be performed without creating a backup and confirming that the element is genuinely unused. ## 2. Plugin Audit Review all installed plugins and identify: * Plugins that are outdated. * Plugins that are inactive or no longer used. * Duplicate plugins providing the same functionality. * Plugins causing conflicts, errors, or performance problems. * Plugins that are no longer maintained. * Plugins that can safely be removed or replaced. * Compatibility issues with Woodmart, WooCommerce, Slider Revolution, the current page builder, and the current WordPress version. All essential plugins should be updated safely after confirming compatibility. Updates and removals should preferably be tested on a staging environment or after a full backup. After the plugin review, verify that the following still work correctly: * Product pages. * Cart. * Checkout. * Customer account. * Payment methods. * Shipping calculations. * Transactional emails. * Contact forms. * Search and product filters. * Mobile navigation. * Slider Revolution content. * Any existing multilingual or translation functionality. ## 3. Product Weight and Dimension Audit Review WooCommerce product data and correct product weights and dimensions so that they are coherent with the actual products being sold. The audit should identify: * Products with missing weights. * Unrealistic or inconsistent weights. * Incorrect measurement units. * Products using the product-only weight when packaged shipping weight is required. * Products with incorrect dimensions. * Similar products using inconsistent weight conventions. * Products likely to produce incorrect shipping calculations. Weights and dimensions should be adjusted using real product information, manufacturer information, or data validated by City Tech. ## 4. Shipping Price Audit Review the complete WooCommerce shipping configuration and verify whether the prices charged to customers are coherent with the actual shipping rules and costs. Please check: * Shipping zones. * France, European, and international shipping rules. * Weight-based shipping brackets. * Price-based shipping rules. * Product-class shipping rules. * Free-shipping thresholds. * Packaging weight. * Handling charges. * Minimum and maximum shipping prices. * Oversized or unusually heavy products. * Products incorrectly receiving free or excessively expensive shipping. * Possible conflicts between shipping plugins and native WooCommerce settings. Test several realistic cart scenarios with: * One small product. * Multiple small products. * One heavy product. * A mixed basket. * Low-value and high-value baskets. * Different French and international addresses where applicable. The freelancer should provide a short summary of the issues found, the corrections made, and any remaining decisions that require validation from City Tech. --- # Phase 2 — New Homepage Content Above the Existing Shop The new homepage presentation must be inserted **above the current WooCommerce product catalog**. The current shop sections must remain untouched unless a technical correction is specifically required. ## 1. Hero / Introduction Banner Create a strong, modern introductory banner explaining who we are and what we do. Suggested message direction: **City Tech — Your technology and security partner in Nice since 2008** City Tech supports individuals and businesses with technology sales, repairs, IT services, data recovery, CCTV systems, alarms, installation, maintenance, and local convenience services. The hero should communicate: * Based in Nice. * Operating since 2008. * Technology sales and technical support. * Smartphone, tablet, and computer repair. * CCTV and alarm installation. * Professional IT and installation projects. * Services for both individuals and businesses. Possible calls to action: * Discover our services. * Request a quote. * Contact us. * Visit our store. Clearly marked image placeholders should be provided for: * Storefront photo. * Installer at work. * Sales or technical team. * CCTV or alarm installation. * Repair laboratory. ## 2. Animated Statistics Counters Create an eye-catching animated statistics section with numbers counting up when the section becomes visible on scroll. Use approximate or rounded figures: * **2,500+** CCTV and alarm installations completed since 2009. * **5,000+** smartphone, computer, and tablet repairs completed. * **Around 30 successful data recoveries per year**, generally involving between 250 GB and 2 TB of recovered data per case. * **17+ years** of experience. Suggested icons: * CCTV camera or shield for security installations. * Smartphone, wrench, or tools for repairs. * Hard drive or database icon for data recovery. * Calendar, clock, or award icon for years of experience. The animation must remain lightweight, accessible, and smooth on mobile devices. ## 3. Customer Reviews and Testimonials Add a trust-building customer review section. Preferred option: * Connect a reliable Google Reviews widget to the City Tech Google Business Profile. Alternative option: * Create a manually curated testimonial slider using genuine customer reviews supplied by City Tech. The testimonial design may include: * Customer first name or initials. * Star rating. * Short review. * Review date where appropriate. * Customer photo or neutral avatar if available. * Link to the Google Business Profile. City Tech’s Google review link is: https://g.page/r/CS3ogSMhFqdPEAE/review The freelancer should also propose a simple and compliant customer satisfaction process. A suitable approach would be: 1. Send every customer to a short internal satisfaction form. 2. Allow customers to explain any issue or dissatisfaction privately. 3. Notify the City Tech team quickly when a customer reports a problem. 4. Give the team an opportunity to contact the customer and resolve the issue. 5. Keep the Google review option available without blocking it according to the customer’s satisfaction score. The system must not use deceptive review filtering or prevent dissatisfied customers from accessing the public review option. For the reviews displayed on the City Tech website, we may select and publish genuine positive testimonials that accurately reflect real customer experiences. The freelancer should recommend a solution that is technically reliable, easy to maintain, and compliant with the applicable platform and consumer-transparency requirements. ## 4.
