I’m ready to launch an online business directory and need a developer who can take the idea from blank page to a fully-functioning, responsive website. The core goal is simple: visitors must be able to browse, search, and view business listings with ease on any device. Here’s what I already know I need: • A clean home page that highlights featured or newest listings. • A structured directory section with categories and a search / filter function. • Individual listing pages that can display contact details, a short description, location, and an optional image or logo. • An intuitive admin area so I can add, edit, or remove listings without touching code. Beyond that, I’m open to your suggestions on information architecture—whether that means adding an About page, Contact form, or any other supporting content that improves user experience. Please build with widely supported tech (WordPress with a proven directory plugin, Laravel, or another framework you’re comfortable maintaining). Security basics, fast loading, and SEO-friendly markup are non-negotiable. Deliverables are: 1. Live, hosted site ready for public access. 2. Source files and database dump. 3. A short hand-over guide (video or PDF) showing how to manage listings. If something here is unclear, flag it early so we can nail down requirements before you start coding. I look forward to seeing how you’d bring this directory to life.
