WordPress Developer for 4 Fast Sites in 8 Days

Budget (fixed): $275 USD
(50% upfront in escrow · 100% released upon full delivery)
Rates based on mid-market as of Oct 23, 2025.

Timeline & Hours

Build: 8 days total (1 site every 2 days)

Support: 60 days post-launch

Working hours: 07:00 – 15:00 ICT (sole focus project — no other clients or context switching)

Start: Immediately

Updates: Short morning and afternoon check-ins (ICT)

Staging: Live, password-protected links from Day 1 with continuous updates

The Work

Build 4 theme-based WordPress sites, approximately 80% shared layout with unique brand colors, content, and images per site. Shared header/nav/footer.

You will propose and supply a lightweight, performance-optimized theme (you provide the license). I’ll approve it before you begin.

I’ll provide all copy, images, and keywords — you’ll implement and format everything (no placeholders).

You’ll host and maintain staging (live links) during the build, then deploy to my production domains.

Final Delivery Standard

Delivery means fully functional front-end and back-end.
No placeholders, dummy data, or half-configured plugins.
That includes:

All pages complete with approved content

All navigation, buttons, and internal links fully working

All forms deliver emails correctly (SPF/DKIM/DMARC verified)

All analytics, schema, and tracking codes installed and validated

All plugins configured and licensed

No dependencies on your personal accounts or trial licenses

If anything is non-functional on go-live, delivery is not complete.

Backend & Admin Expectations

Clean, fully configured WordPress dashboard (no hidden or locked builder menus)

Valid licenses for all themes and plugins

Proper user roles (Admin / Editor / Author)

All data and content exportable and owned by me

Brief documentation of any custom fields or reusable blocks
