English Reading Books for children aged 10 - 14

We are looking for talented graphic designers with excellent InDesign skills to help us lay out a large series of levelled reading books for children. The work involves setting out fiction texts in InDesign, creating or sourcing suitable illustrations using AI image-generation tools, and integrating those images carefully into the story pages. Each book will also include a short, structured non-fiction section at the end. We are looking for designers who have: Excellent knowledge of Adobe InDesign Strong graphic design skills and artistic flair A very good standard of written English Experience using AI image-generation platforms The ability to work accurately and at pace Good attention to detail and consistency This is a large project, so we are looking for people who can follow a clear template and work within an established design system while still bringing creativity and care to each book. We would like to begin with a short test task. If this works well, we will then agree a per-book rate for ongoing work across the series.

Fix Critical AWS Website Bugs

My site is already hosted on AWS, feature-complete on paper, yet five key components refuse to work and our go-live is now less than two weeks away. Every failure is consistent and repeatable, so I’m looking for someone who can dive straight into production-level debugging and close these gaps fast. The components that must be repaired: • Email verification (custom-built) • Dialer system (Twilio) • Booking system (custom-built) • Payment system (Stripe) • Live functionality / real-time chat All code will stay where it is—nothing leaves AWS—so you’ll need solid AWS console familiarity alongside everyday full-stack skills. I can provide repository access, architecture notes, and direct contact with the previous developer if needed. Acceptance is simple: each item above must perform reliably under normal user load, pass my own end-to-end test scripts, and remain stable for 48 hours in staging before we flip the live switch. If any hotfixes are required after launch, I expect a prompt turnaround. Please outline your approach, relevant AWS + Twilio + Stripe experience, and confirm you can commit to the 14-day window.

Sound design & final mix for a 2-minute video

I have a two minute corporate video for YouTube and web that needs professional sound design and a final mix. The voiceover and music are already in place and will be supplied as separate files. Your job is to bring the visuals to life with sound effects and deliver a polished, balanced final mix. The picture edit is near final, but some motion graphics may still be tweaked after delivery, so the file delivery requirements below are essential. Scope of work: - Design and sync sound effects to picture (transitions, motion hits, ambience and similar, as appropriate to the edit) - Balance voiceover, music and SFX into a final mix - Master to around -14 LUFS, suitable for YouTube and web Deliverables: - Final mix as a 48kHz WAV - Separate stems for voiceover, music and SFX - Each individual sound effect also delivered as its own WAV, with every file exported from the same start point (00:00:00) so they all line up in my timeline. This is a firm requirement: if the motion changes, I need to remove or nudge a single effect without redoing the mix. Please include in your proposal: - A fixed price and turnaround time - How many revision rounds are included - Confirmation that all sound effects are licensed for commercial use on YouTube and the web - One or two examples of similar corporate or brand work, ideally with before/after sound I will share a private link to the video with shortlisted freelancers so you can confirm your quote. Proposals that address the separate-file requirement specifically will be prioritised.

Crypto Website, X and Discord Content Plan

I need a one-time content strategy review for CryptoPeeker, a crypto market activity research feed. CryptoPeeker helps users discover unusual crypto market activity and investigate it for themselves. This is research, positioning and content planning work only. Deliverables: 1. Review the CryptoPeeker website and X/Twitter profile. 2. Suggest clearer positioning for crypto users. 3. Create a 14-day X/Twitter content plan. 4. Write 10 X/Twitter post drafts. 5. Suggest 5 Discord onboarding or retention improvements. 6. Suggest improvements to the website and Discord journey to help interested visitors understand the product and decide whether to join. 7. Provide a short written summary of the strongest messaging angles. Important: CryptoPeeker is research only. It is not financial advice, not a buy/sell signal group, not a pump group, and not a guaranteed-profit project. No bots, fake followers, mass DMs, spam, artificial engagement, paid reviews, posting on my behalf, account access, or platform manipulation. This is a one-time strategy/content project. If the work is strong, there may be more content strategy work later.

WordPress "Handyman" Needed — Updates & Plugin Cleanup

We run a WooCommerce store on WordPress that's fallen behind on maintenance and needs an experienced WordPress technician to bring it back up to date and clean up accumulated issues. This is not a "click update all" job — several items need licensing/subscription attention before they can be safely updated. Known issues to address: WordPress core is outdated (currently 6.9.4, 7.0 available) — needs safe update with backup. Shopkeeper theme subscription has expired — built-in updates and security patches are currently disabled; needs a decision on renewing vs. migrating away from the paid update channel WooCommerce Wholesale Pro Suite license expired — needs renewal or replacement plugin WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution both need license keys re-activated to restore auto-updates NitroPack shows as disconnected in the admin bar — needs reconnecting or reviewing whether it's still needed ~30 plugins have pending updates that need to be worked through safely (checking changelogs, testing on staging if possible) Google for WooCommerce channel shows 14 unresolved sync issues affecting the product feed Sucuri Security plugin itself is out of date General plugin audit: the site currently has ~80 installed plugins, several of which appear to overlap in function (e.g. multiple SEO/schema plugins, multiple WooCommerce shipping/tax add-ons). Would like recommendations on what can be safely deactivated/removed to reduce bloat and attack surface Scope of work: Full site backup before any changes Audit and report on expired licenses/subscriptions with renewal cost estimates where possible Update WordPress core, theme, and plugins in a safe, tested order Resolve NitroPack disconnection Investigate and resolve Google for WooCommerce feed issues Recommend a shortlist of redundant plugins for removal, with rationale Provide a brief written summary of what was done and any remaining risks Ideal skills/experience: Strong WooCommerce + WordPress maintenance background Comfortable with plugin conflict troubleshooting and staging/rollback practices Experience with premium plugin/theme licensing (Envato/ThemeForest ecosystem — WPBakery, Slider Revolution, Shopkeeper) Familiarity with Google Merchant Center / Google for WooCommerce feed issues is a plus Deliverables: Updated, secured site Written report of licensing status and recommended renewals List of plugins recommended for removal Screenshot/before-after summary If the Google feed issues require more than 2 hours of investigation, we'll agree additional scope separately

I have written a poem, I want videos played throughout.

I have just this evening written a poem, I still need to revise it slightly, but I would ideally love someone who could compile a 3:29 video with background music 'Sand Drawing - Judah Earl'. I have read it out loud with this song playing quietly in the background, I am no video editor, but with weeks of planning and software and time - which I do not have - I may be able to pull something off. Alas, I require the help of a professional. I have worked out roughly, each video needs to be 3-5 seconds long. I don't know whether it's easier to compile them all at 5 seconds and then shorten the clip to match the words? I have details below the scenes I would love to have based on the chronological order of the poem. The one caveat, is ideally I would love to make all the clips my own, using me, my friends and family. However, that will take much longer. Therefore, I thought, if I can pay someone to get the whole video created, with the text and timing done to a tee, then I could ideally work with you again to revise some if not all of the video clips and swap them out with my own. How does that sound? I don't know the price, might have to be an hourly basis. It would also be lovely if you have your own video footage, to make it personable, otherwise stock footage is fine. As I say, with potential revisions done later. Video Scene Order: 1- A man sat quietly on a bench in the background, looking somewhat sad, with hustle and bustle, crowds of people in the foreground passing by as he looks around. 2- A man or woman praying in a church, chapel, then looking out the stained glass window at the end. 3 - two friends hugging and talking 4 - A Mother and Father dancing or grandparents 5 - A man crying looking to the skies, cloudy grey skies, close up of the eyes, filled with sadness - this could be a couple of videos 6 - Sky scenes, clouds, rain, sunsets in the sky, birds flying, a few montage scenes 5-8 seconds 7 - Flying birds, like a murmuration of birds would be wonderful 8 - Crying person with great emotion, letting it all out, saying goodbye perhaps 9 - someone skimming with a stone, the stone disappears - farewell. another drop in the ocean so to speak. 10 - Traveller, explorer, filmed from behind, with a rugged backpack, climbing a hill, mountain, coast path, adventure themed, moving on, going forth with great strength. 11 - Young couple kissing, intimate, young love 12 - Older couple embracing, long lasting love 13 - Seasons Montage - Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. - beautiful. 14 - Clocking spinning, turning, large railway clock, maybe a time lapse of people at times quare station flying by - hinting time flying by. 15 - Someone thinking, deep in thought, pondering questions, maybe sat somewhere quiet. 16 - Something to portray gladness and sadness - good times and bad times, laughter and difficult times. 17 - Workout video, a man or woman pushing through the pain, close up shot in their eyes lifting heavy weight or at the gym, showing power, strength and resilience. 18 - Heartbreak, someone alone by a tree, in a park, relationship ended, sad tears, something to show the world falling around them, maybe leaves falling from a tree as a secondary video. 19 - Clear, calm seas, a beautiful shot of calm waves and maybe a sunset or a whale breaching. 20 - Trees blowing in the wind, shot looking up through the trees. 21 - Moonlight, a breeze at night, a night time scene, maybe the night sky and a shooting star afterwards. 22 - Sunrise, the most beautiful sunrise shot, maybe even with someone in it, looking at the sun as it rises. 23 - A man - me eventually - sat in a meadow, a lovely field, an old English Oak Tree, a wooden field gate, something such as this, looking into the sunset, the shot filmed from behind, contemplating life and lost in thought. End Scene. Thanks p.s. I don't have bags of money, but this is so special to me, I want it to be the first video on my new Instagram account, dedicated to my film making and poetry, reigniting my old self.
