Monetized Winery Directory WordPress Site

Job ID: 40326152

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I’m launching an online directory that helps visitors discover local wineries and I need the entire site built on WordPress from the ground up. The finished product has to feel modern and sleek while giving me three clear revenue streams: recurring subscription fees for premium members, paid listings for wineries that want extra visibility, and display advertising space I can manage myself.

Key pages will showcase searchable winery profiles, allow visitors to leave reviews, display an interactive map so users can filter by distance, and feature an easy-to-update events calendar highlighting tastings and festivals. All of this needs to be set up in a way that lets me control plans, pricing, coupon codes, ad slots, and moderation from the WP dashboard without touching code every time.

I’m open to whichever directory or membership plugins you feel work best—as long as they integrate cleanly with Stripe or PayPal for subscriptions and one-off payments, support Google Maps (or similar) for location filtering, and keep site speed respectable. Mobile responsiveness, SEO-friendly structure, and basic on-page optimisation are non-negotiable.

Deliverables I’m expecting:
• A fully configured WordPress site on my hosting with theme, child theme, and all required plugins.
• Custom post types/templates for wineries and events, each with front-end submission where applicable.
• Payment, ad-placement, and email notification workflows tested end-to-end.
• Brief hand-off documentation (or short Loom walkthrough) so I can add listings, events, and ads myself.

If you’ve built monetised directory sites before, especially in hospitality, I’d love to see a couple of links. Let me know your proposed plugin stack, timeline, and anything you’d need from me to get started.
