The Phoenix Project – Site Recovery, WooCommerce Upgrade & AI Optimization

My website was recently wiped and restored from a 5-month-old backup. It is currently "broken"—images are missing, theme settings are off, and it’s outdated. I need a talented developer to fix the damage first, then complete a series of specific scraping, data, and checkout upgrades.

Phase 1: The "Emergency Room" (Restoration)

Theme Repair: Re-install and properly configure the WordPress theme. Fix all broken layouts caused by the backup restoration.
Image Recovery: Identify and fix all "broken image" icons. Ensure all existing product and site images are visible.
Plugin & Connector Audit: Re-connect and test all plugins (Stripe, Klaviyo, etc.) that were disconnected during the wipe.
Security & Bot Blocking: Block the bots that caused the original 503 error on the subdomain to ensure the site never crashes from memory/bandwidth leaks again.

Phase 2: Product Content, Scraping & Organization

Product Scraping (Migration)

Task A: Add 4 new brands (approx. 70 variants total by scraping content (descriptions, imagery, etc.) from specific sites I will provide. Product, Description, Price, Status

Task B: Update an existing brand’s section using scraping to refresh the data.

Task C (UI Blending): Incorporate the imagery of these scraped brands so they look professional and native to my site, not like a messy copy-paste.

Categorization & Tagging: Update and re-classify 150–250 product tags. You will use common sense to move "Uncategorized" products into existing sub-categories so the site search actually works.

Site Banners: Replace two existing banners with new ones provided by me.

Site Search: Integrate an "All Site Search" function so customers can actually find products quickly.

Phase 3: Checkout, Shipping & Stripe Integration

Stripe Elements: Move my current payment setup to Stripe Express Checkout. It is a matter of incoporatingteh stripe UI code.

Shipping Rules: * Configure rules for 4 specific countries.

Location Limits: Set specific rules to limit certain brands so they can only be shipped to specific locations as per my business requirements.

Weights & Data: Update 20 product variants with accurate weight (in grams) using an Excel sheet I will provide.

Custom Shipping Pop-up: Create a UI pop-up in the shipping section that explains what the shipping price includes.

Phase 4: UX, Speed & Marketing Automation

Klaviyo Integration: * Add a "Coming Soon" and "Email Notification Alert" for out-of-stock items.

These must trigger an automated email in Klaviyo when products are back in stock.
Speed loading is very important.
Speed Optimization: The site must load in under 2.5 seconds on both mobile and desktop. No exceptions.
Landing Page: Build one custom landing page on the site featuring a banner and a form submission section. It will look like this https://goodness.com.au/shop/superfoodrange
Email UI: Redesign the layout of the automated "Order Notification" emails to include more information and a professional look.

Phase 5: Visibility (SEO & AIO)

SEO (Standard Search): 1. Perform a full audit of Google Search Console to ensure every page is indexed. 2. Fix any "404 Not Found" or indexing errors caused by the site wipe.

AIO (AI Search Optimization): 1. AI Indexing: Ensure the site’s "Schema Markup" (the code AI reads) is perfect so AI search engines (like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini) can find and recommend our organic products. 2. AI-Friendly Content: Structure product descriptions so they are easily "readable" by AI agents.

The "Fine Print" for the Developer (The Rules)

Individual Only: I am hiring a person, not an agency. If you say "we," I will terminate the contract.
UI Consistency: Every image added must be "blended" to match the site's brand. No low-quality or mismatched imagery.
Deliverables: The project is only complete when all 4 phases are tested and working.
No Time Wasters: If you don't have real PHP, Scraping, and Stripe API experience, do not bid.


This is an opportunity for ongoing work
