Job Title [login to view URL] Developer (WordPress-to-Headless Migration) Job Description We are looking for an experienced Full-Stack [login to view URL] Developer to help migrate our existing directory site ([login to view URL]) to a modern [login to view URL] architecture ([login to view URL]). The technical stack, database structure, design direction, and core components have already been heavily prototyped using AI tools (Claude). We need a sharp developer to implement, refine, and ship production-ready code faithfully from these specs, handle a sensitive 700+ record SEO migration, and integrate custom media components. We actively encourage and expect you to leverage modern AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, AntiGravity, GitHub Copilot). We care about clean architecture, high performance, and fast iteration—not whether you typed every line by hand. But we do require that you are experienced in [login to view URL] development, so you know how to monitor, govern, and correct AI solutions. Core Responsibilities Frontend & Stack Implementation: Build the app using [login to view URL] (App Router), React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and deploy on Vercel. Backend & Data Modeling: Set up PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM to house our 700+ record directory. Search & Auth: Integrate Algolia search for fast directory filtering and NextAuth for user management. SEO & Migration Integrity: Execute a seamless cutover from WordPress—including full 301 redirect mapping for all existing listing URLs, canonical tags, sitemap regeneration, and Google Search Console tracking. AI Spec Refinement: Review AI-generated architecture docs and code snippets, flagging gaps in data validation, security, error handling, or state management before building. Requirements 1. Technical Stack Deep expertise with [login to view URL] (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Vercel. Strong relational database design skills (PostgreSQL / Prisma ORM). Proven track record with WordPress-to-headless migrations and 301 redirect strategy. 2. Modern AI-Assisted Workflow Active use of AI IDEs/Tools: Proficiency with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, AntiGravity, or GitHub Copilot as part of your daily development environment. Critical AI Code Evaluation: Ability to quickly audit, sanitize, and optimize AI-generated specs or code—ensuring robust error handling, auth security, and clean architecture. Application Screening Questions To be considered, please answer these brief questions when submitting your proposal: SEO & Redirect Strategy: In 2–3 sentences, what is your standard process for mapping 300/301 redirects and preserving SEO during a domain change from a WordPress directory to a [login to view URL] app? AI Tooling & Experience: What AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, etc.) do you incorporate into your workflow? Can you share an example of a project where you built from AI specs or generated code, and what edge cases/gaps you had to fix? Contract Type & Paid Trial Type: Hourly or Fixed-Price Milestone (Contract-to-Hire / Project Basis) Trial Period: Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a paid 4–8 hour micro-trial to build a single [login to view URL] listing page component from our Claude spec docs and an existing live page.

Hi, This project is really about preserving search equity while shipping a cleaner architecture. The migration needs to be treated as both an application rebuild and an SEO-sensitive data migration. I'd implement the Prisma schema first, migrate and verify the directory data, then build the App Router pages against that model. Before launch I'd generate redirect maps, canonical tags, XML sitemaps, and validate everything through Google Search Console while reviewing the Claude-generated specs for missing validation, security, and state management issues. For your screening questions: SEO: I generate a complete old-to-new URL mapping, validate it with automated crawl comparisons, deploy permanent 301 redirects, regenerate sitemaps and canonicals, then monitor Search Console for crawl or indexing anomalies after launch. AI: My daily workflow includes Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, and Cursor. On recent AI-generated projects I mainly corrected schema inconsistencies, missing validation, authentication edge cases, and client/server state synchronization before production deployment. If the paid 4–8 hour trial reflects the production architecture, it should provide a realistic picture of how the full migration will progress. Thanks , Joseph

Hello, Sir I can design and develop your CPA firm website with a clean, trustworthy, professional look focused on converting visitors into consultation inquiries. I recommend WordPress because it gives you easy content management, strong SEO capabilities, flexible calendar/payment integrations, and full ownership of the website. I’ll build the 3–5 pages, responsive layouts, contact form, booking calendar, payment portal, SSL, analytics, Search Console, local SEO, accessibility basics, backups, security, and performance optimization. I’ll provide a fixed-price quote before starting, with all recurring hosting, plugin, license, and maintenance costs clearly disclosed. The domain, hosting, website accounts, and ownership will remain under your name and email, with full administrator access and complete source ownership. The site will also be fully transferable to another provider at any time. I can include 2 rounds of revisions and provide a clear handover guide. I can share relevant professional-service website examples and clearly identify the design/development work completed on each. I’m available to start immediately and can deliver within 7–10 days depending on feedback and integration access. Thank you

Your directory’s value lives in discoverability and trust; a migration that breaks URLs or rankings immediately erodes revenue from search-driven leads and paid listings. Users remember how easily they find trusted vendors, not the tech stack behind the site. I will safeguard SEO equity, implement precise 301 mappings, and optimize performance to preserve traffic and increase qualified leads and conversions. One question: Is preserving current organic traffic and referral leads the primary goal, or is this migration an opportunity to increase conversions and upsell listings? That answer will guide redirect strictness, canonical strategy, and analytics setup during cutover. Looking forward to having a detailed discussion. ---

Hi js while maintaining SEO integrity is a complex task, especially with over 700 records involved. The main technical challenge is ensuring a seamless transition by correctly implementing 301 redirects and maintaining data integrity. For this, integrating with Algolia for search and NextAuth for user management will be crucial. js and Vercel to ensure performance improvement and seamless data transition. Leveraging tools like Prisma ORM for PostgreSQL, I've ensured optimal backend performance. I appreciate your proactive approach to using AI tools to boost development efficiency, and I can certainly help refine and implement AI-generated architecture. js. Thanks, Oswaldo

Hi there. This is an interesting project. Before anything else, one area I'd pay particularly close attention to is the SEO and 301 redirect strategy, as this ensures the integrity of your existing traffic during the migration. Implementing a robust redirect mapping will be crucial for preserving SEO while transitioning from WordPress to Next.js. I typically start with a comprehensive audit of current URLs, followed by a systematic plan to create 301 redirects that align with the new structure. This minimizes disruptions and ensures that search engines recognize the changes. Regarding AI tools, I frequently use GitHub Copilot and Claude Code for rapid prototyping and code generation. In a recent project, I leveraged AI-generated specs but had to refine data validation and error handling extensively for robustness. What are your specific goals for SEO performance post-migration? Looking forward to engaging. Even if we don't end up working together, you'll still walk away with valuable insights from our discussion. Regards, Riyaaz

This experience gives me a solid understanding of the complexities involved, especially concerning SEO integrity and database management. I’m confident my team and I are well suited to this project. My approach emphasizes clean architecture and performance, ensuring that the migration maintains SEO health while implementing the features you've outlined. Leveraging AI tools like GitHub Copilot has been instrumental in refining code and optimizing workflows, and I regularly audit AI outputs to address potential gaps in security and error handling. I'd be happy to discuss your project and share a few ideas. No obligation at all. Regards, Celeste
