Quran WordPress Platform Enhancements

Project Overview

I am looking for an experienced WordPress developer to enhance my existing website:

quraan.husni.net

The website is a structured content platform where:

- Each article represents a Quran verse
- Each verse belongs to a Surah (chapter)
- Articles are also categorized by topics (e.g., Paradise, Patience, etc.)

The goal is to transform the website into a well-structured, fast, and easy-to-navigate content platform, not just a simple blog.

--------------------------------------------------

Core Requirements

1. Navigation & Browsing

Users must be able to browse content through:

- Surah / Verse (primary structure)
- Topics (e.g., Paradise, Faith, Patience)
- Latest / by publication date

The homepage must act as a clear navigation hub, not just a list of posts.

--------------------------------------------------

2. Article Linking (Content Flow)

- Add Next / Previous navigation inside each article
- Default navigation follows Surah–Ayah based order

--------------------------------------------------

3. Custom Cards Support

- Ability to insert custom-designed cards inside each article
- Cards are image files
- Flexible placement inside content

--------------------------------------------------

4. Article Sharing

- Enable sharing articles on major social platforms
- Shared content should include:
- Title with link and short description
- Optionally: full text sharing if supported

--------------------------------------------------

5. Card Sharing

- Each card should be shareable independently
- Add share buttons per card

--------------------------------------------------

6. Mobile Optimization

- Fully responsive design
- Optimized reading experience on mobile
- Fast loading performance
- Clear and accessible UI elements

--------------------------------------------------

7. Contact Us Page

- Improve or redesign the Contact Us page
- Add a user-friendly contact form including:
- Name
- Email
- Subject
- Message
- Ensure reliable email delivery
- Add spam protection (e.g., CAPTCHA or similar)

--------------------------------------------------

Plugins & Technical Choices

- The developer must clearly specify all plugins that will be used
- For each plugin, provide:
- Name
- Purpose
- Reason for choosing it

Guidelines:
- Prefer lightweight, well-maintained, and widely used plugins
- Avoid unnecessary or heavy plugins

Important:
- No plugin should be installed without prior approval

--------------------------------------------------

Technical Expectations

- Clean, maintainable code
- Avoid heavy or slow solutions
- SEO-friendly structure
- Good performance and loading speed

--------------------------------------------------

Deliverables

- All features implemented on the existing website
- Fully working and tested system
- Improved Contact Us page
- Clear instructions for managing content

--------------------------------------------------

Additional Requirements

- Default WordPress search is not acceptable
- The number of plugins should be kept to a minimum
- Mobile experience is a priority and must be properly tested
- All features must be tested before final delivery
- Clear communication and progress updates are expected

--------------------------------------------------

Please explain

- How you will implement the search system (especially Arabic support)
- How you will structure navigation (Surah / Topics)
- Which plugins or technical approach you will use

--------------------------------------------------
Milestone-based system

I prefer milestone-based payment.
Please propose a milestone breakdown based on the project scope.

--------------------------------------------------
Final Notes

- The implementation should remain clear, maintainable, and extendable for future development.
- No critical logic should be hidden inside plugins without access to the implementation.
- All code and configurations must be delivered and fully accessible upon project completion.
- I have a technical background and may extend the system later. The focus is on clean, maintainable, and well-structured implementation.
