Project description:
"We are seeking a technical partner to develop Phase 1 (MVP) of our online booking website for a private chauffeur service. The project is fully scoped: a comprehensive technical and functional specification document is complete. It outlines all workflows, complex business logic, advanced SEO requirements, and rigorous acceptance tests.

Our Technical Stack (Baseline):

• CMS: WordPress (Latest stable version)
• Core Booking Engine: Chauffeur Taxi Booking System (CTBS) plugin and several of its official add-ons.
• Theme/UI: Luxride theme as a design base, to be heavily customized for a premium visual identity.
• Multilingual: WPML (English / French)
• Page Builder: Elementor Pro (or a technically justified, maintainable alternative).
• Performance: Strict Core Web Vitals targets required (Mobile ≥80, Desktop ≥90).

Key Technical Challenges (from the specification):

1. Advanced CTBS Plugin Customization: Implementation of a hybrid pricing logic and a 5-step booking funnel with a fully custom, fluid, and premium UI/UX, requiring deep front-end modifications to the plugin.

2. Performance Architecture Under Constraint: Achieving the above performance targets despite using a complex booking plugin, demanding an advanced caching strategy and fine-tuned optimization.

3. Demanding International Technical SEO: Rigorous implementation of a clean multilingual technical architecture (/fr/, hreflang, sitemap), extended and dynamic [login to view URL] markup (reviews, FAQ, services), and a strategic network of 301 redirects.

The Right Profile:

• You have proven, hands-on experience with complex WordPress “booking” or “reservation” plugins (Chauffeur Taxi Booking System (CTBS), Amelia, WooCommerce Bookings, or equivalents). References are required.
• You master child theme creation, critical WordPress performance optimization, and maintainable code best practices.
• You are comfortable with developing robust, interactive front-end features (JavaScript/Vue/React).
• You understand and value technical SEO and conversion-focused user experience.
• You can read, analyze, and commit to a detailed specification.
• You are fluent in professional English or French. All specifications and communication will be in one of these languages.

Process & Application:
We are running a rigorous selection process.
To apply, please reply with a structured message including:

1. Your portfolio: Links to your most relevant WordPress projects (booking systems, e-commerce with custom logic) with a brief description of your specific role on each.
2. Your initial technical assessment of the proposed stack and the challenges listed. If you identify potential concerns, relevant alternatives (plugins, architecture), or optimization opportunities within the framework of a robust and maintainable WordPress project, we are open to discussing them.
3. Your estimated effort (in man-days) and an indicative budget range for a fixed-price engagement for this Phase 1.
Our preference is for a clear fixed-price project, with payment tied to objective validation milestones.
4. Your availability to start (at the earliest opportunity).
5. Confirmation of your fluency in English or French.

Generic applications or those not following these instructions will not receive a response.

Next Steps & Project Philosophy:
Shortlisted candidates will receive the complete specification document under an NDA for in-depth review prior to a firm quote.

Pricing & Contract Finalization: A firm fixed-price quote and detailed milestone schedule will be established only after the candidate has reviewed the complete specification document and we have aligned technically. All pricing discussions will be based on the agreed and frozen scope of Phase 1.

Any proposed deviation from the core specified stack (CTBS, Luxride, WPML) must be technically justified in writing, focusing on performance, security, or long-term maintainability gains within the WordPress ecosystem.

Budget is allocated for professional, quality work. We are open to discussions with experts who can propose justified technical adjustments aimed at optimizing performance or long-term maintainability." (client-provided description)
