WordPress website build — Solis Florals (premium florist, Melbourne)

Fixed price  ·  Web design & development  ·  WordPress

OVERVIEW

I'm looking for an experienced WordPress developer to build a clean, elegant website for Solis Florals — a premium bespoke floral design studio based in Melbourne, specialising in Australian native flowers. The site needs to reflect a high-end, editorial aesthetic that speaks to wedding, funeral, and corporate clients.

The domain is registered and WordPress-ready hosting is already set up through VentraIP — I just need someone to build it.

PAGES REQUIRED
Home
About
Services (weddings, funerals, corporate, gifts)
Gallery / portfolio
Contact
Enquire / book a consultation

KEY REQUIREMENTS
Enquiry/contact forms (containing clear starting prices and processes) rather than direct e-commerce checkout — clients need to consult before receiving a quote, so no Shopify-style cart is needed.
Or setup of a "Catalog Mode" to display items for once off 'gifts' section without direct checkout.
Fully mobile responsive
Clean, modern aesthetic — minimal, premium feel
Basic on-page SEO setup (page titles, meta descriptions, headings)
Easy for me to update content myself after handover -
A "Sold" Functionality for once off gift arrangements that I can manually upload myself.

WHAT I'LL PROVIDE
Partial branding assets (some elements ready such as my logo — may need minor guidance on fonts/colour palette)
Partial content — some copy and photos ready, some placeholder content may be needed initially
VentraIP hosting access
Clear direction on brand look and feel

IDEAL APPLICANT
Strong WordPress portfolio, ideally with service-based or creative/lifestyle businesses
Eye for design — this isn't a template-and-done job, the visual outcome matters
Good communicator who can work collaboratively and take feedback
Experience with enquiry/contact form plugins (e.g. WPForms, Gravity Forms, Contact Form 7)
Based anywhere — remote is fine, but responsive communication is a must
BUDGET

$600–$1,000 AUD fixed

Please include a link to relevant past work in your proposal. Bids without portfolio examples will not be considered.

Attached is my logo and my older limited website pages.

I am not looking to copy my current site, I want it to be elevated into a more refined, high-end version.

The current version feels too templated and limited.

What I like about my current site:

Strong storytelling and meaning behind the brand
Focus on sculptural, artistic florals
Use of real work and imagery

What I want improved:

More premium, editorial layout (less “boxed sections”)
Better use of white space and typography
More visual impact (hero images, flow, layout)
Overall feel of a design studio, not a standard florist

Brand direction:

Solis Florals is not a traditional florist.
It is:
Artistic
Symbolic
Nature-led
Design-focused

The website should feel more like:
a creative studio / artist portfolio
than a retail flower shop

Aesthetic:
Sculptural, story-driven floral art pieces for meaningful moments. Reference attached pdf from my old wensite for vibe- the content is right, the design execution needs to be elevated to match the brand's premium positioning. Think less DIY WordPress, more editorial botanical studio.
