What We're Seeking
Experience - WordPress custom theme development (child themes, hooks, filters) - Membership site integrations (preferably Memberful, but similar platforms OK) - Third-party API integrations (ConvertKit, Stripe, JWT) - Modern WordPress development (Gutenberg blocks, REST API) - Performance optimization (Lighthouse scores 90+)
Bonus Points - Memberful platform experience - Retool or similar app embedding - ConvertKit WordPress integration - Astra theme customization
Please include in your proposal:
1. Time Estimate: Break down hours by phase 2. Memberful Experience: Have you used it? If not, how would you approach it? 3. Similar Projects: Link to 2-3 membership sites you've built 4. Technical Questions: - How would you handle JWT authentication between WordPress and an external app? - What's your approach to ConvertKit WordPress integration? 5. Availability
We're looking for a long-term development partner, so this could lead to ongoing work as we scale the platform.*
