Kids & Teen Tech Programs Site

Summary

Looking for a WordPress pro to design and build a kid-friendly, youth-appealing website for in-person tech programs: Kids Robotics (ages 6–8, 9–12), Python (13–14), and Teen Cloud/DevOps (13–17: Cloud Foundations & Kubernetes/DevOps Builder).
Site must be fully functional with course pages, schedule & fees, online registration/checkout, payments, and automated emails. Content will be a mix of my provided course details and AI-assisted copy (you will generate drafts; I’ll approve/finalize).
LMS may be added later (not part of this phase), so please build with future LMS in mind.

Tech & Theme

Platform: WordPress.

Theme/Builder: Divi is already installed; Elementor is also fine if you prefer (I can remove Divi).

Templates: Pre-made template or child theme is OK if it fits the brand (robotics/coding/cloud/devops) and is customizable. Recommend 2–3 templates before we start.

Design Requirements

Audience: Parents (decision makers) and kids/teens (end users).

Vibe: Bright, modern, high-contrast, STEM/robotics visuals, playful but clean.

Accessibility: Readable fonts, good color contrast, clear CTAs, mobile-first.

Imagery: Stock photos/illustrations of kids with robots, coding screens, cloud/devops icons; avoid generic “corporate” photography.

Pages & Content (Phase 1)

Home

Hero with clear value: “Robotics • Coding • Cloud — Build Real Tech, Build Confidence.”

Quick age bands: 6–8, 9–12, 13–14, 13–17 with “View Program” buttons.

Why parents love it (skills, safety, small groups), testimonials block, CTA to enroll.

Programs & Schedule (Schedule & Fees)

Short intro (4-week modules, 1×/week, 2h, small groups max 8).

Program cards with age bands & fees:

Robots & Code Explorers (6–8)

Inventors with Sensors (9–12)

Python & Projects Lab (13–14)

Cloud Foundations (13–15)

DevOps Builder (15–17)

Study Hall (optional add-on)

Timeslot grid (I’ll provide), dynamic “Enroll” buttons.

Discounts block (sibling %, bundle savings).

Program Detail Pages (one per program)

Clear outcomes, week-by-week outline, tools/kits (e.g., LEGO SPIKE, micro:bit, Python, Git/GitHub, Docker/K8s for teens), safety notes, FAQ, CTA to enroll.

Parents’ Seminar / Digital Safety Page

Outline: “Online safety, screen time, parental controls, AI basics.”

Registration (free/paid) via the same checkout flow.

About

Mission, methodology (hands-on, small groups), safety (screened staff, sign-in/out), photos.

Contact

Map, parking notes, contact form, WhatsApp/phone/email.

Policies

Refunds, make-ups, media consent, sign-in/out, accessibility statement.

(I will provide course details, policies, and example reference sites; you provide first-draft copy via AI where needed.)

Functionality (Phase 1 must-haves)

Checkout/Registration & Payment:

Productized programs (variable by level and timeslot).

Collect parent/guardian info, student name/age, medical/allergy notes, media consent, waiver checkbox.

Accept credit card (Stripe/PayPal) and optionally e-transfer instructions.

Capacity control (seat limits per class); waitlist capture when full.

Automations & Email

Auto confirmation email (program, date/time, location, what to bring).

Reminder email 48–72 hours pre-start.

Admin notifications for new enrollments and waitlists.

Forms

General contact form (spam-protected).

Seminar sign-up form (links to checkout if paid).

Speed, SEO, and Analytics

Fast, mobile-friendly pages (Core Web Vitals minded).

On-page SEO (titles, meta, H1/H2s), schema for events/classes if possible.

Google Analytics 4 + basic goal conversion setup.

Security & Compliance

SSL enforced, security plugin, reCAPTCHA on forms, privacy & cookie notice.

Image licenses (provide sources), alt text for accessibility.

Scalability

Structure that can add LMS later (LearnDash/Lifter or similar) without rebuild.

Reusable program card components and timeslot templates.

Nice-to-Haves (Phase 1.5 if time allows)

FAQs accordion on each program page.

Testimonial slider (I’ll provide quotes later).

Blog with 2–3 starter posts (AI-assisted drafts ok; I’ll review).

What I Will Provide

Domain (already set up).

WordPress hosting and admin access.

Divi installed (ok to switch to Elementor; I can remove Divi).

Course details (outcomes, week plans, ages, fees, policies).

2–4 example websites for design reference.

Logo/colors (or I can approve a color palette you propose).

What You Will Deliver

2–3 template/style recommendations that fit robotics/coding/cloud/devops.

Final WordPress site with all pages above, populated with approved copy and images.

Working registration + checkout + payment flow, email automations, and capacity limits.

Basic SEO, speed optimization, and analytics.

Short handover guide (PDF or Loom video): how to add a new program, open a new timeslot, update fees, view enrollments, export attendee lists.

Keywords for relevance: kids robotics, coding classes, STEM, Python for teens, cloud for teens, Kubernetes, DevOps, WordPress, Divi, Elementor, WooCommerce, course registration, Stripe, PayPal, schedule & fees.
