Expert Full-Stack Developer & UI/UX Designer – Platform Optimization, SEO/AIO & Site Completion

We are building VURA, a high-fashion, luxury ecosystem for beauty and SFX makeup professionals. We have the foundational site built in Webstudio (webstudio.is), but we need an elite frontend developer to elevate the visuals, optimize for AI-search discoverability (AIO), and polish the build for launch. Note: This is a marketing-focused brand site, not the marketplace app. The goal is a flawless, cinematic, and high-performance digital presence. Key Responsibilities: 1. Cinematic UI/UX Polish: Perfect the spacing, typography, and responsive breakpoints. The site must feel editorial, high-fashion, and premium. Hand-coded CSS/Flexbox preferred—no AI-generated layout tools. 2. SEO & AIO Infrastructure: This is critical. Beyond standard SEO, you must architect the site to be fully discoverable by AI Search Engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) using entity-focused architecture, semantic markup, and advanced schema. 3. High-Performance Deployment: Ensure lightning-fast load times and seamless, buttery-smooth interactions. Push the site live via Firebase Hosting. 4. Content & Feature Management: Finalize sections for our "Partners & Brands" and "Internship Program," ensuring they maintain our high-end aesthetic. 5. Backend Light-Touch: Connect the site to our Firebase environment for simple dynamic data fetching (e.g., pulling images/videos or text updates) without the need for a complex marketplace backend. 6. ⁠Total Content Admin Portal: Integrate an easy-to-use admin management panel (such as Webflow CMS, Framer CMS, Sanity.io, or Contentful). Every single piece of text, picture, video, and partner logo on the website must be fully editable by a non-technical user through this secure dashboard. The founder must be able to change any content instantly without ever touching code or needing a developer. Technical Skillset: Luxury Frontend Mastery: Strong eye for high-contrast, minimalist, editorial design. Obsessive about typography and layout rhythm. Visual Stack Expert: Absolute mastery over Webstudio, Webflow, Framer, or custom React/Next.js frontends. Master of Modern Discovery (SEO / AEO / AIO): You must possess deep, proven experience moving beyond standard keyword optimization. You understand how AI Large Language Models (LLMs) crawl the web, how they utilize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and how to structure code and metadata specifically to make a brand highly citeable and discoverable in AI conversational answers. Firebase Hosting: Fluent in deploying sites to Firebase. Crucial Expectations: High Autonomy: If you see a layout drift, fix it. We need a partner, not a task-taker. Speed & Priority: This project has faced delays. We need high-speed turnarounds and immediate availability to push this site live. Design-Led: You care as much about the "feel" of an animation or the weight of a font as you do about the code. How to Apply: 1. Provide examples of premium, high-end, or luxury brand websites you have built or polished. 2. Confirm your platform of choice and your experience deploying to Firebase Hosting. 3. ⁠Detail your exact strategy for AIO/AEO. How do you structure a luxury marketing website’s code, entity relationships, and schema markup so that AI answer engines (like ChatGPT or Perplexity) actively source and recommend the brand in user queries? (Generic answers will be immediately rejected). 4. How long will it take you to finish this website?
