Dive Course Website Redesign & Management

Our dive-training website urgently needs a full refresh. I want the new version to feel clean and minimalist, load fast on mobile, and keep visitors hooked long enough to book a course without friction. The current build is completely custom, so you will be working from a blank slate rather than a pre-packaged theme.

Core objectives
• Translate our existing content into a modern UI/UX that matches the calm, spacious look of a clean-and-minimal design language.
• Build a self-contained ordering system for our diving courses. It must support secure online payment, an easy-to-browse course calendar, and a straightforward user-registration flow so customers can manage their bookings.
• Optimise for speed, accessibility, and SEO basics from day one.

After launch I’ll need ongoing help: adding new courses, posting trip photos, running seasonal promotions, and keeping plug-ins or dependencies patched. Think of it as a light maintenance retainer rather than daily hand-holding.

Key deliverables (acceptance criteria)
1. High-fidelity mock-ups approved before development starts.
2. Fully responsive site deployed on my hosting, with SSL and analytics connected.
3. Integrated ordering module covering:
• Online payment (card + PayPal or Stripe)
• Visual course calendar with availability control
• Account area for registered users to view or change bookings
4. Handover package: source code repository, build instructions, admin guide, and two weeks of post-launch support.
5. Proposal for monthly update/management plan outlining tasks and response times.

Please include a quick outline of your preferred tech stack for a custom build, examples of comparable projects, and how you approach long-term site care.
