Project description:
"I need a complete niche website that makes it easy for visitors to stay on top of current events in our industry while also letting them post jobs, share their own availability, and hold open conversations about projects. The heart of the site is a constantly updated stream of news articles—think of it almost as a curated industry newsroom—so a clean front-page layout, intuitive categories, and strong search are essential.

At launch I plan to highlight written news articles only. I’m still deciding whether the pieces will come from in-house writers, licensed third-party feeds, or user submissions, so the CMS you set up has to allow any of those paths without major re-work. If you have experience with WordPress (e.g., Gutenberg, Elementor, or a lightweight custom theme) or another CMS that supports role-based publishing workflows, moderation queues, and easy RSS/API imports, mention it—I’m open to suggestions.

Alongside the news section I need:
• a job board where employers can post opportunities and freelancers can list their availability,
• a simple forum or threaded comment system for discussions,
• user profiles with optional résumé or portfolio attachments,
• responsive design that feels quick on mobile,
• basic analytics and SEO tools baked in.

Deliverables will be: fully configured CMS, custom theme or modified template, tested job board and forum modules, and a short guide showing me how to add or edit content, moderate posts, and manage users.

Success means the site loads fast, publishes articles without glitches, lets users sign up and interact smoothly, and leaves me confident enough to handle day-to-day updates on my own. If this sounds like a build you can handle, tell me how you’d tackle the news workflow and which tech stack or plugins you’d lean on.

Please be aware that I am planning to complete this project in stages over time.

Thank you" (client-provided description)
