Project description:
"WordPress Multisite Setup

We are looking for an experienced WordPress developer (or agency) to restructure our existing site into a WordPress Multisite with subfolders to support multiple countries.

The initial rollout will focus on:

Australia, US, and UK subfolders

Free version only (educational content, blogs, tools)

A single paid upgrade in the Australian site: purchase of a digital contract/loan agreement template via Stripe (AU account)

This is Phase 1 of a larger global expansion project. We want the foundation to be scalable for future features (subscriptions, local Stripe accounts, additional markets).

Scope of Work
1. Multisite Setup

Convert current WordPress site to Multisite (subfolder mode).

Create /au/, /us/, and /uk/ subsites.

Migrate existing site into /au/.

Apply 301 redirects from old URLs → /au/.

2. Content & Blog Structure

Hybrid blog model:

Global content syndicated across all subsites.

Local content unique to each market (AU, US, UK).

Migrate existing blog → /au/blog/.

3. Free Version (Phase 1)

AU/US/UK country pages live with educational content, tools, and blog.

Landing pages for legal contracts in each country (but only AU has paid option enabled).

4. Paid Upgrade (AU Only)

Add Stripe integration (AU Stripe account).

One-off payment for digital contract template.

Flow:

Customer buys via Stripe checkout.

Redirect to thank-you/download page with contract file (PDF/Word).

US and UK subsites: placeholders only (“Coming soon”).

5. SEO & Localisation

Configure hreflang tags for AU/US/UK.

Submit each subsite to Google Search Console.

Ensure localised currency, spelling, and market references.

6. UX & Navigation

Country selector dropdown in header/footer.

Optional: IP/browser detection to suggest correct country (do not auto-redirect).

7. Deliverables

Fully working Multisite (/au/, /us/, /uk/).

Migration + redirects for AU.

Blogs (global + local separation).

Stripe AU integration (AU one-off contract purchase).

Country selector.

SEO setup (hreflang, GSC, sitemap).

Documentation for content/admin team.

Future Scope (Not in Phase 1, but foundation must support)

Local Stripe accounts for US/UK.

Subscription or membership-based paid features.

Expansion into new markets (/ca/, /nz/, etc.).

Skills Required

WordPress Multisite setup & configuration

WooCommerce + Stripe integration

SEO best practice (hreflang, subfolder targeting)

Blog/content migration experience

Strong understanding of multi-country website structures

Experience with digital downloads + gated content delivery

Budget & Estimate

We expect this initial Phase 1 scope to take around 40–80 hours.

(Please propose with your actual hours/rates — we are flexible if scope requires adjustment.)

How to Apply

Please provide:

Examples of previous WordPress Multisite or multi-country builds.

Experience integrating Stripe for one-off purchases.

A rough timeline for completing Phase 1.

Any recommendations for improving scalability or setup.

This is a content-first build: free version for all countries, with a single one-off Stripe purchase flow in AU only. Must be clean, scalable, and simple to manage." (client-provided description)
