I need a full-stack developer who can architect and code a brand-new website from the ground up—no off-the-shelf themes or templates. The site must feel minimalist and clean on the front end while being engineered behind the scenes for speed, scalability, and straightforward content management. Tech expectations • I’m leaning toward a Next.js–powered custom CMS rather than WordPress or Drupal, so you should be comfortable shaping both the front-end React components and the headless backend that feeds them. • Robust, well-documented API integrations are essential; the build should consume and expose REST/GraphQL endpoints cleanly. • Modern tooling (TypeScript, Tailwind, Prisma or similar ORM, CI/CD on GitHub Actions, containerisation with Docker) is welcome if it helps maintain performance and future growth. Key deliverables • Responsive, minimalist UI implemented in Next.js • Custom backend (Node or comparable) with secure auth, user roles, and scalable database schema • Full suite of external and internal API integrations • Lightweight admin panel for non-technical content editors • Clear documentation and handoff instructions, including environment setup and deployment steps Acceptance criteria 1. Page loads under 2 s on a standard 3G connection (Lighthouse score ≥ 90). 2. Codebase passes automated linting/tests and is deployable via a single command. 3. Admin panel allows adding, editing, and deleting content without touching code. 4. All APIs return expected data structures, validated with unit tests. If this sounds like your wheelhouse, let’s discuss your suggested stack details and timeline so we can get started right away.
