Project description:
"We’re seeking a highly skilled designer/developer (ideally a small studio or experienced individual) to deliver a visually stunning, editorial-style content website. The platform will publish multiple articles daily and needs to combine aesthetic sophistication with functional simplicity—for both readers and admin users. This is a design-first project. Please do not apply if you're planning to deliver a templated, generic solution. We want something that looks and feels bespoke, refined, and built to last. Key Requirements: 1. Timeline Start immediately Must be delivered within 24 hours of project being awarded We will handle hosting, but you must deploy it to a server of our choosing 2. Design Strong editorial sensibility (think The New Yorker, Monocle, Kinfolk, etc.) Clean, modern typography Responsive layout across all devices Hero article/images layout at the top, with a customizable editorial feed below Must include: Featured/lead stories section Grid or list layout for latest articles Sticky or floating header with nav Article pages with bold titles, featured images, body content, and space for monetizable CTAs 3. Functionality Built on WordPress or another CMS only if admin UX is genuinely simple Admin panel should: Allow us to easily post/edit/delete articles Set lead or featured articles manually Add hyperlinks and call-to-action buttons at the bottom of articles Must support: Email registration (with a confirmation email sent to user — must be beautifully designed and on-brand) Newsletter-ready mailing list collection (Mailchimp) Basic SEO optimization tools baked in Easy to integrate monetization links/buttons per post (e.g. affiliate, Buy Now, etc.) 4. Domain & Hosting We will provide the domain (hosted on GoDaddy) You will need to publish and point the finished site to our selected server If needed, we can procure hosting quickly—but you must handle the initial deployment/setup 5. Submissions & Applications Share 3-5 examples of sleek, design-led sites you've previously built (especially for editorial or content platforms) Must not be a bulk-development or cookie-cutter service Include confirmation that you can begin immediately and deliver inside 72 hours Optional Bonuses (Nice-to-Have): Experience building monetised editorial/blog sites Light animation or hover effects to add polish Built-in commenting system (for logged-in users only) Budget: Competitive, but this is a quality-first project. Please price accordingly for speed + premium design + polish.
