A custom geolocation store-locator plugin is required for my WordPress installation, built entirely in PHP. From the visitor’s side, the widget must let people either share their current GPS position or type an address/ZIP code, then show the closest physical stores on an interactive map and in a neat results list. On the back end I need a lightweight, self-explanatory panel where non-technical staff can add, edit or remove locations, including basic data such as name, address, latitude/longitude, and a thumbnail image. No coding knowledge should be necessary—just clear form fields, bulk-upload capability (CSV), and an “update & publish” button inside the familiar WordPress admin area. Core expectations • Front-end search box + “Use my location” button • Google Maps (or comparable open-source library) rendering with custom markers • Distance calculation in kilometres and miles • Responsive design that works smoothly on mobile • Clean, commented code that follows WordPress plugin guidelines, ready for one-click install/activate • Brief setup guide so my team can deploy and localise the plugin on staging and production Nice-to-haves (can be quoted separately): displaying store hours, contact info pop-ups, and filters for services offered. Delivery is the plugin ZIP, SQL/table schema (if needed), and concise documentation. Once installed, my team should be able to manage store data without ever touching PHP.
