I manage three short-term rental properties, each with its own domain. I am seeking an experienced WordPress developer to design and build three fully functional property websites, either as separate installations or as a multisite setup (developer recommendation welcome). The sites must be easy for me to maintain—I have prior experience with the WordPress dashboard, and a clean, intuitive backend is essential. Two of the properties are located near major theme parks, so a design approach that allows for potential future location-based upsells or attraction bundles is beneficial (though not required). ________________________________________ Scope of Work Website Development • Build three WordPress websites, each tied to its own domain • Configure SSL certificates for all sites • Implement a clean, maintainable backend with logical content organization • Import and publish property images and copy (provided by me) Design Requirements • Propose design concepts tailored to each property • Styles may: o Reflect the local theme/area, or o Use a minimalist layout emphasizing property photography • Ensure responsive, mobile-optimized design across all devices • Would like to e able to add a video tour in the future ________________________________________ Core Functional Requirements Please implement and configure: Booking & Reservation System • Booking calendar with real-time availability • Online payment processing, including credit card and Apple Pay • Ability to set and modify: o Nightly rates o Taxes & fees o Discounts o Blackout dates • Automated email workflows, including: o Booking confirmation o Pre-arrival reminders o Checkout instructions Guest Interaction Features • On-site guest book for visitor entries • Rating/review system for past guests • Optional recommendations for additional features that improve guest experience Plugin Flexibility I am open to plugin recommendations.
