"Project Description:

We are building a trading card website on Squarespace for the Australian market and need a custom search function for Magic: The Gathering cards.

The functionality should replicate what is seen on: [login to view URL], [login to view URL], [login to view URL]
-----------------------------------------------------------
Requirements:

1. Autocomplete Search
- As the user types a Magic: The Gathering card name, live search suggestions appear.
- If spelled correctly, closest matches are shown.

2. Card Detail Page
- When the user hits enter (on a correctly spelled card name), they are taken to a dedicated card detail page.
- Card page should display: Card image, Rules text, Artist name, Card number, Set information

3. Card Variants
- On the card page, display options for other printings/variants of that card.

4. Squarespace Compatibility
- Must work within Squarespace (using developer mode, custom code blocks, or API integration).
- Should not break the mobile responsiveness of the template.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Deliverables:
- Fully working search bar with autocomplete embedded into Squarespace site
- Card detail template page dynamically populated with card data
- Variants section on card page
- Integration with an MTG card database (e.g., Scryfall API or similar)
- Documentation for how we can maintain/extend the feature

-----------------------------------------------------------
Preferred Tech / Tools (open to your advice):

- Squarespace Developer Mode + Custom Code Injection
- JavaScript (for live search & API calls)
- Use of MTG database APIs (Scryfall strongly preferred, but open to recommendations)

-----------------------------------------------------------
Timeline:
- Target completion: 2–4 weeks

-----------------------------------------------------------
Budget:

- Fixed Price: AUD $200

-----------------------------------------------------------
Ideal Freelancer Profile:

- Experience with Squarespace custom coding & API integrations
- Strong JavaScript knowledge (autocomplete, live search, UI logic)
- Prior work with eCommerce or collectible databases is a plus
- Clear communicator (we are non-technical founders, English is our common language)

-----------------------------------------------------------
To Include in Your Proposal:

- Your approach to building this search + detail page on Squarespace
- Any prior examples of API-based search/autocomplete you’ve built
- Timeline & cost estimate
- Any initial suggestions on best MTG card database APIs" (client-provided description)
