I’m launching a new platform for educational courses and need a WordPress specialist who can take the idea from blank install to fully-featured, production-ready site. Everything must be custom-branded and optimised, not a quick theme tweak. Core functionality I expect: • User registration with individual learner profiles • Real-time course progress tracking that updates as lessons are completed • Secure payment gateway integration for one-off purchases and future subscription options Besides implementing those essentials, you’ll set up a clean course catalogue, organise lessons into structured modules, and ensure the admin area lets me add or edit content without touching code. Page speed, responsive design, and basic on-page SEO should be baked in from day one. I’m open to the LMS stack you prefer—whether that’s a custom post–type solution, LearnDash, LifterLMS, or similar—so long as it remains future-proof and easy for a non-developer to maintain. Deliverables 1. Fully configured WordPress site on my hosting, with all three core features working end-to-end 2. Custom child theme and necessary plugins installed, styled to match provided brand guide 3. Launch checklist completed (security hardening, backups, caching, payment test transactions) 4. Short hand-off video or live walkthrough so I can manage courses, users, and orders myself Please share links to comparable learning sites you’ve built along with a brief outline of the tools and workflow you’d use here. I’m ready to start as soon as I find the right fit.
