WordPress Developer Needed for Design Conversion

We are looking for an experienced WordPress developer to build a professional website based on our existing design. Project Overview * The website has already been designed. * We will provide: * The design files. * A reference website for styling and user experience. * You do not need to create a new visual design. The goal is to accurately convert the design into a fast, clean, responsive WordPress website while following the style and interactions of the reference site. Scope * Convert the supplied design into WordPress. * Match the layout, spacing, typography, animations, and overall feel of the reference website. * Implement simple frontend interactions and animations. * Ensure the website is fully responsive on desktop, tablet, and mobile. * Build reusable templates where appropriate. * Use clean, maintainable code. Responsive Design * The website must be fully responsive on desktop, tablet, and mobile. * For the mobile version, you do not need to redesign each page from scratch. Instead, use the corresponding sections of the reference website as the guideline for responsive layouts and behavior. * Each section should follow the responsive implementation of the reference site as closely as practical while matching our supplied design. Technical Requirements We are looking for someone who writes high-quality code, not just someone who can make the site look correct.

Bonus Skills * Experience with custom WordPress themes. * Strong understanding of performance optimization. * Experience building scalable, maintainable WordPress websites. * Familiarity with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) or similar tools.
