I'm starting a service-oriented directory site that needs initial configuration and then ongoing content management. The core platform is already installed; what remains is to make the directory fully functional and ready for public use. Configuration tasks • Search functionality – refine the search/facet logic so visitors can quickly locate listed services by category, location, and any other relevant taxonomies. • Advertising Integration – Provide for advertising slots on content pages • User registration – implement a straightforward sign-up/login flow with email verification and profile management. • Service submission forms – create intuitive front-end forms that allow providers to add or edit their listings while keeping the backend clean and secure. • Mapping and Location Content – Activate intuitive front-end maps with pins for member location and information. • City/County Directory – Standardized listings for cities and counties in the state. Design approach I’ve chosen to work with a ready-made template, so the layout, color scheme, and typography are largely set. Your role is to apply that template correctly, adjust minor elements where needed (logo placement, widget positions, menu structure), and ensure consistency across all pages. Content management Once the technical pieces are in place, I’ll need assistance populating the initial batch of listings, setting up categories/tags, and establishing a simple workflow I can follow for future additions or edits. Accuracy and clean formatting are essential. Acceptance criteria 1. Search returns accurate results within two seconds. 2. New users can register and receive an activation email without errors. 3. Service providers can submit, edit, and delete their own listings via the front end. 4. The site has integrated ad placements and integration with ad providers (Adsense, etc.) 4. All template styles render correctly on modern desktop and mobile browsers. 5. A brief hand-off document outlines how to add categories, moderate submissions, and run basic backups. If you have experience with directory plugins or frameworks (specifically Brilliant Directories) and can deliver this end-to-end setup efficiently, I’d love to collaborate. I'm looking for an initial set of work deliverables, with the probability of a monthly salary once an ongoing relationship is established.
