I need a WordPress-based platform where professionals can sign up with a standard email registration, complete a profile form, and instantly appear in a searchable directory. Visitors must be able to narrow results through category and location filters, view each professional’s details, and leave a 5-star rating that displays as an aggregate score on the profile and within search snippets. Key features I expect developed or configured: • Front-end email registration and login for professionals • Custom profile fields (bio, specialties, pricing, location, contact) editable from the user dashboard • Star rating system with review moderation controls • Advanced filtering and sort options tied to custom taxonomies • Secure payment gateway integration so professionals can upgrade or pay for featured listings • Mobile-responsive design, fast loading, and clean UI consistent with modern directory themes • SEO-friendly structure and schema markup to boost profile visibility The build may rely on well-supported directory or membership plugins, but any required custom code must follow WordPress best practices and remain update-safe. Please include at least two live examples of similar listing or directory sites you’ve completed in WordPress, highlighting the rating or payment components you handled personally. Deliverable: a fully functional, tested site deployed on my hosting, plus brief hand-off documentation so I can manage profiles, payments, and updates on my own.
