"Project: WordPress MVP for EthiopianSeattleConnect (Community Hub + Listings)

Overview
I’m building a lightweight community platform for Ethiopians living in Seattle. The site will support public announcements, rentals/roommates, jobs, events, and a community blog — all with front-end posting, admin moderation, and multilingual support (English + Amharic).
The design should be clean, mobile-first, and similar to MelaRooms or Classima-style cards.

I prefer a plugin-first approach, not heavy builders
