WordPress Developer Needed to Build Scalable Author & Book Publishing Website

I am a licensed U.S. CPA and the author of the book Tax Credits Are Sexy: What Every Organization Needs to Know About the Employee Retention Credit. I recently acquired the domain TaxCreditsAreSexy.com and am looking for an experienced WordPress developer to build a modern, professional, scalable website that will become the home of the "Tax Credits Are Sexy" book series. This is much more than a typical author website. My vision is to build a long-term publishing platform containing 80+ books covering U.S. tax credits, tax planning strategies, business tax topics, and related educational content. My goal is to publish approximately one new book each week, so the website must be designed from the beginning to support continuous growth without requiring redesign or ongoing developer involvement. My highest priority is scalability and ease of maintenance. The website should be built so that either I or a virtual assistant with little technical experience can add new books quickly and easily without writing code or modifying templates. I am not looking for a completely custom-coded website. I would strongly prefer a WordPress solution using proven themes and plugins whenever appropriate. The objective is to build a website that is easy to maintain, easy to update, and easy for another developer to support in the future if necessary. The initial website should include: • Professional home page • About page • Contact page • Services page • Blog • Book library • Individual landing page for every book • Search functionality • Mobile-responsive design • Basic on-page SEO • Email newsletter integration • Social media integration The book library should be designed to grow to 100 or more books over time. Each book should have its own dedicated page with information such as: • Cover image • Title • Subtitle • Description • Publication date • Categories • Amazon purchase link • Kindle link • Audible link (when available) • PDF download link (when applicable) • Related books Adding a new book should be simple and require only entering information into a form rather than creating a new webpage from scratch. I would also like recommendations regarding the best WordPress plugins, themes, and overall architecture to ensure the website remains fast, secure, and easy to maintain as it grows. Future phases of the website may include: • Hundreds of educational articles • Free downloadable resources • Tax calculators • AI-powered tools • Online courses • Membership area • Client portal • Speaking engagements • Newsletter archives • Additional business websites that may share content I realize not all of these features need to be built during the initial phase. However, I want the website architecture to support future expansion. Please tell me: • How you would approach this project. • Why you recommend your proposed solution. • Your experience building scalable WordPress websites. • Examples of similar websites you have built. • Your experience with custom post types and content management. • Your recommendations for themes and plugins. • How you would structure the website to support a growing library of 100+ books. • How you would ensure that a non-technical user or virtual assistant can easily add new books. • Whether you provide documentation or training after the project is completed. This project is intended to establish the foundation for a long-term publishing brand, so I am looking for someone who thinks strategically about architecture, scalability, ease of maintenance, and long-term success—not simply someone who can build an attractive website. I look forward to reviewing your recommendations and learning how you would build a website that can grow with the "Tax Credits Are Sexy" brand over the coming years.
