I need to launch a website with a members-only section Editor X / Wix or other and need a designer-developer who can take the concept all the way to a polished, fully tested site. The goal is straightforward: create an engaging space where members can interact, share ideas, and build lasting connections. Core functionality • Forums / Discussion Boards integrated seamlessly with Editor X’s CMS • Member Profiles that users can customise with avatars, bios, and social links • Private Messaging so members can talk one-to-one without leaving the platform The flow should feel intuitive on desktop and mobile, making use of Editor X’s responsive design tools. Authentication, user-role management, and any needed third-party apps (e.g., Wix Members, Wix Forum, Wix Inbox) must be configured so everything works out of the box on launch day. I’ll supply branding assets and copy; you’ll translate them into clean, modern layouts, set up the community features above, and hook in basic analytics so we can track engagement from day one. Please send links to past membership or community sites you’ve built—especially if they were done on Editor X or Wix—so I can see how you approach UI, UX, and performance. Once we’ve agreed on the structure, I’d like staged deployment on a test site, then hand-off with clear documentation and a brief walkthrough call. CORE REQUIREMENTS 1.
