Project description:
"I’m looking for an experienced developer to build a web-based Content Management System from the ground up. This is a true software development project—no WordPress or off-the-shelf themes—so you’ll have plenty of freedom to choose a modern tech stack that fits the brief.

Scope
• Design a clear information architecture and wireframes for the core screens (dashboard, page/post editor, media library, settings).
• Develop a functional prototype that lets me create, edit, publish, and archive content with rich-text and media support.
• Implement a user management system with at least three role levels (Admin, Editor, Viewer) and granular permissions.
• Build a responsive, accessible UI that works smoothly on desktop and mobile browsers.
• Provide basic analytics hooks (page views, popular posts) so I can integrate with Google Analytics later.
• Package the code in a clean Git repository and include setup scripts plus concise developer & user documentation.

Tech preferences
I’m open to frameworks like React, Vue, or Svelte on the front end and Node, Django, or Laravel on the back end, as long as the final solution is secure, modular, and easy to maintain. A lightweight SQL or document database that scales without fuss is ideal.

Deliverables
1. Wireframes/mockups for approval
2. Working CMS prototype on your staging server
3. Final source code with install instructions
4. Short video walkthrough demonstrating key features

Timeline is flexible within reason, but I’d like to see a first clickable demo in approximately three weeks so we can iterate. If you have built custom web apps or CMSs before, please share links or repo samples when you respond." (client-provided description)
