Customer: AI | Published: 05.11.2025

I’m building an online “yellow pages” for our country town and need a WordPress developer who can deliver a directory-plus-membership solution I can maintain myself with core WordPress blocks (no Elementor or other heavy builders). User interface and front end look and feel to be dynamic and appealing as well Core requirements User interface and front end look and feel to be dynamic and appealing as well so graphic design elements are important. • Front-end “Add My Business / Community Group” workflow that lets users create and log in to manage their listing. • Dashboard where users can: – Edit business details – Update membership status (Chamber member vs non-member) – View billing history – Toggle Public / Private fields – Opt in to advertise and upload their ad creative or copy • Separate visibility rules so member-only data stays private while public details appear in the directory. Commerce & billing • Stripe integration for one-off payments (business listing) and recurring membership dues. • Automatic recording of membership status and renewal dates. • Grace-period / expired logic that hides member-only perks if payment lapses. Directory & ads • Clean, searchable listing page with category filters and map/embed options. • Ad slots that pull from the same listing data (or a dedicated CPT) so paid advertisers are highlighted site-wide. • A Surf Cam page (simple placeholder for now) that pulls ads from the same ad system. Tech notes • Use custom post types, custom fields, and native blocks or block-based plugins so I can edit layouts later. • Lightweight theme—block-ready, responsive, and fast. • Clean, documented code and clear instructions on how to add/change fields, prices, and ad positions. Deliverables 1. Wireframe - template of site 2. Workflow diagram After this is finalised then ... 3 Fully configured WordPress site on my host or a staging server. 4 Stripe live/test keys set up with products, webhooks, and membership plans. 5. Front-end forms, member dashboard, directory archive, single-listing template, ad placement logic, and Surf Cam placeholder page. 6. One-hour hand-over call or detailed PDF explaining how to manage everything. If you’ve built directory or membership sites with Stripe before and are comfortable working with wordpress blocks and plugins , I’d love to see examples and discuss timelines.
