I need a PHP developer with at least 1½–2 years of solid, hands-on experience to build a new site for me. The project hinges on two core features—secure user login/registration and a fast, accurate search function—so you should feel confident architecting both from scratch or by extending a lightweight framework such as Laravel or CodeIgniter. Design direction: I’ll provide a reference site (“kth we r”) that captures the modern, streamlined look I’m after; your job is to translate that style into a fully responsive layout without sacrificing performance. Scope and flow • Plan database and user-auth logic, then implement clean, well-commented PHP/MySQL code. • Integrate the search so results appear in under a second, even on mobile. • Hand off a tested, deploy-ready package that drops straight into my cPanel environment. Acceptance criteria – Login and registration pass security best practices (hashed passwords, CSRF protection). – Search returns relevant results quickly and can be filtered or sorted. – Pages render correctly across major breakpoints and score well on a Lighthouse audit. – Codebase is organised, documented, and free of critical errors. Please send links to two or three recent PHP projects showcasing similar functionality, along with your expected turnaround and any questions you need answered before we start.
