Build & Manage Online Gaming Portal

I’m setting up an online game portal and need a developer who can own the build from the ground up, then stay on as my long-term site manager. The first milestone is a fully responsive site with secure user accounts and editable profiles so players can register, log in, and track their activity.

For launch, here’s what I have in mind:
• Modern front-end that feels intuitive to gamers on desktop and mobile
• Robust sign-up/login system with email verification and profile editing
• Admin area where I can upload new games, moderate users, and view basic analytics
• Clean, well-documented code that leaves room for future additions such as leaderboards or multiplayer rooms
• Fast load times and SEO-friendly structure

Once live, I’d like you to handle ongoing maintenance: server updates, backups, performance tuning, feature roll-outs, and general troubleshooting. If you have experience optimising high-traffic gaming sites, integrating social sign-ins, or adding micro-transactions, that’s a plus—just let me know when you send your proposal.

Please include links to comparable projects you’ve built, the tech stack you recommend (PHP, Node, Python or similar), and a realistic timeline for both development and the first year of support. I’m ready to move quickly with the right partner.
