Technical SEO & Information ArchitectulConsolidation

Project Overview: We are a multi-location healthcare practice operating three distinct physical clinics (Beckenham, Central London, and Orpington). Over time, our WordPress/Elementor website has accumulated massive bloat, keyword cannibalization, and redundant hyper-local satellite pages (leading to over 130 messy indexed URLs). We need a hands-on WordPress and Technical SEO expert who can actually go into our backend, slash our page count down to a clean, high-performing core of ~25–30 active URLs, map out a foolproof 301-redirect strategy, and clean up technical indexing errors. What You Will Be Doing (Scope of Work): 1. WordPress Site Architecture Restructuring: Collapse our bloated multi-page structure down into a clean hierarchy consisting of: Global core pages (Home, About Us, Fees & Booking, FAQs, Contact, Blog, etc.) 7 Clean Master Service Pages (Acupuncture, Biomechanical Assessment, Cranial Osteopathy, Gait Analysis, Osteopathy, Clinical Pilates, Sports Massage) A central Conditions Hub Exactly 3 Physical Clinic Pages (Beckenham, Central London, Orpington), which will act as local hubs listing the treatments offered at each location and linking over to our master service pages via internal anchor links. 2. 301 Redirect Mapping & Execution: Review our existing URL inventory, permanently delete redundant/outdated satellite neighborhood pages and minor condition duplicates, and implement a comprehensive 301-redirect map pointing them cleanly to our 3 core clinic hubs or master service pages inside WordPress. 3. Technical Bloat Cleanup: Purge WordPress trash pages, block unnecessary plugin asset folders (e.g., Elementor asset paths) via ⁠robots.txt⁠ or security/SEO plugins, and clear out Google Search Console indexing bloat. 4. Hands-On Implementation: This is not just an auditing role; we need someone who can directly execute these changes, clean up menus, and apply redirects within WordPress/Elementor. Ideal Candidate Profile: Expert-level WordPress & Elementor experience, with a proven track record in site restructuring, URL consolidation, and database cleanups. Deeply experienced in 301-redirect mapping and execution for service-based or multi-location businesses. Strong grasp of local SEO architecture (managing local clinic pages versus national service pages to prevent keyword cannibalization). Proficient in managing Google Search Console indexing issues and technical backend cleanup.

Original logo for ZERO

WHAT I NEED - A custom-lettered logo for the word ZERO (4 letters), drawn from scratch. No pre-existing fonts. - Deliverables: vector files (AI/SVG/PDF), white-on-black version, black-on-white version, monochrome version, and a small-scale version that remains legible at approx. 15mm wide. BRAND STYLE - Dark, irreverent horror aesthetic, targeting an audience aged 18–35 (gamers, horror movie fans, rock/metal fans, athletes). Think vampire movie poster title, not haunted house. - Heavy, robust, and angular typography, featuring sharp beveled cuts and diagonal blade- or knife-like terminals. Tight spacing.

Use it for direction only; do not trace or reuse its letterforms. - The sharpness found in heavy metal band logos. - I need a unique, original logo that is eligible for trademark registration. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS - A consistent "cut style" across all four letters, incorporating a distinctive blade- or knife-like element (e.g., a diagonal tail on the R) that can stand alone as a graphic element. - The letter "O" should relate to the tombstone-shaped "0" I use beneath the logo (I will send it), yet it must remain clearly legible as the letter "O." - It must work well at small sizes: no excessively fine lines or tiny details. - Avoid: Gothic or blackletter fonts, dripping blood effects, standard skulls or fangs, parallel claw marks, gradients, and special effects. OWNERSHIP - Full transfer of copyright and commercial usage rights; source files included. - Original work created by a person; no AI-generated images, stock fonts, or third-party assets. Please confirm this in writing. PROCESS - Please submit 2 or 3 black-and-white sketches first, then refine one of them.

Wordpress website based on xstore theme

I am looking for an experienced WordPress designer/developer to build a modern, professional online gaming portal where visitors can play free browser games. The aim is to create a gaming website with a clean, colourful, user-friendly design similar to the reference image I can provide. The website should be designed to attract visitors, encourage repeat visits and generate revenue through advertising and optional premium features in the future. I want to start with a cost-effective first version that can be expanded as the business grows. Design Requirements The website should have a modern gaming aesthetic, with bright colours, attractive game thumbnails, rounded cards, clear navigation and a responsive layout that works on desktop, tablet and mobile. The homepage should include: * A logo and navigation menu. * A large featured-game banner with a prominent Play button. * Game categories such as Puzzle, Action, Racing, Arcade, Adventure and Brain Training. * Popular Games and New Games sections displayed in attractive thumbnail grids. * A sidebar or suitable advertising spaces for future monetisation. * A Premium section that could support an ad-free membership in the future. * A leaderboard or high-score section, if achievable within the agreed budget. * A professional footer with About, Contact, Privacy Policy and Terms links. Functionality Required * WordPress installation and configuration. * A mobile-friendly, responsive design. * A game portal theme or suitable game management plugin. * The ability for me to add, remove and organise games without needing a developer each time. * Individual pages for games, with a playable game area and space for advertising. * Support for compatible HTML5 browser games, with the ability to embed or integrate games from legitimate sources. * Basic SEO setup, performance optimisation and security configuration. * Clearly defined advertising placements, with the ability to integrate a suitable advertising provider once the site is eligible. * A simple way to expand the website with more games and categories in the future. User accounts, subscriptions, advanced leaderboards and custom game development are not essential for the first version unless they can be added affordably. Important Requirements I want to use a suitable existing WordPress theme and established plugins wherever possible rather than pay for a completely custom-coded website. Please recommend the most cost-effective approach and identify any paid themes, plugins, licences or additional hosting costs before starting. The website must be handed over to me with full administrator access. I want to own the website, domain, content and any custom work paid for under this project. When Applying Please provide: 1. Examples of gaming portals or similar websites you have built. 2. Your recommended theme and plugins for this project. 3. A fixed-price quotation covering the requirements above. 4. Your estimated delivery time. 5. Any ongoing costs or annual licences I should expect. 6. Confirmation that I will be able to add games and manage the website myself. Please quote for the initial version first. I am interested in building a long-term business and may commission further work once the first version is established. I will provide a visual reference for the desired homepage design.

We want films that make people stop scrolling, recognise themselves and want to try the app. THE STANDARD We need photorealistic characters, believable acting, strong visual hooks, purposeful editing and excellent sound. The work should have colour, energy, personality and emotional weight. You must understand how to build a story, create tension and land a memorable ending. Character consistency, realistic hands, coherent environments and readable phone screens are essential. We review details closely. WHAT YOU WILL HANDLE • AI image and video generation. • Consistent characters across shots. • Animation, editing and compositing. • Integration of supplied app screens and branding. • Voiceover production when required, using an approved voice. • Commercially cleared music and sound effects. • English captions and final exports.

TO APPLY Please answer these five points: 1. Send your three strongest relevant videos. Tell us exactly which parts you created. 2. Which tools and workflow do you use to maintain realistic, consistent characters? 3. Can you reliably deliver 10–12 finished videos every week? What is your turnaround for the first draft? 4. What is your best weekly price, and what does it include? 5. Briefly describe how you would film this opening: “A man has spent hours building his perfect video-game character. Beside him are old pizza boxes and an overdue bill. The message: you can restart the game, but you cannot replay the years you’ve lost.” Give us your first three shots. We want to see how you think, not just which tools you use. Please start your proposal with “STORY FIRST” so we know you have read the brief. We’re looking for a reliable creative partner who can turn a strong idea into a finished ad people actually want to watch.

Hours - 16:00 - 09:00 on Weekdays 24/7 on Weekends - 09:00am Monday morning £20 per hour for time spent actively working on incidents during the training period. £40 per hour once you have completed training, demonstrated confidence and competence, and been approved by Cobra Hydro UK to take on the full Incident Manager role.

The ideal candidate will have experience finding motivated landlords, property investors, portfolio owners and landowners who are open to alternative property arrangements, creative deal structures or the sale of part or all of their property holdings. We are particularly interested in opportunities that do not necessarily require a traditional outright purchase. 1. Property Title Splitting and Land Opportunities Identify suitable properties, buildings, portfolios and land holdings where a title split or subdivision may be commercially viable. This may include: Landowners willing to consider selling part of their land or property holdings. Buildings or larger properties that may be capable of being divided into separate units or titles. Properties with potential for subdivision, subject to planning, legal, title and other relevant requirements. Owners interested in selling individual parts of a larger holding rather than the entire asset. The role involves identifying potential opportunities and establishing contact with the relevant owners. Any proposed subdivision or title split will be subject to appropriate legal, planning and professional due diligence. 2. Purchase Lease Options (PLO) Identify and approach landlords and property owners who may be interested in a Purchase Lease Option arrangement. Potential opportunities include: Landlords looking to exit the rental market without selling immediately. Owners of vacant, underperforming or difficult-to-let properties. Landlords with multiple properties or portfolios who may consider alternative disposal arrangements.

Properties where the owner is open to a suitable company or operator taking a lease, subject to the necessary permissions and compliance requirements. Your Responsibilities for all 3 categories. Research and identify potential property owners, landlords and landowners throughout the UK. Contact prospective sellers and landlords through appropriate channels. Establish whether owners are open to Title splitting, PLO, R2R or other mutually beneficial arrangements. Build relationships with landlords, estate agents, land agents, property investors and other relevant contacts. Gather initial information about the property, ownership, asking price or expectations, rental figures and proposed deal structure. Qualify opportunities and arrange introductions or meetings where appropriate. Provide a clear pipeline of genuine, verifiable leads with supporting information. Ideal Candidate You should have: Previous experience in UK property sourcing, deal packaging, estate agency, landlord acquisition, land sourcing or property investment. A good understanding of PLO, R2R and/or title splitting. Strong research, communication, negotiation and lead-generation skills. The ability to approach property owners professionally and establish genuine interest. A results-driven approach, with an emphasis on quality opportunities rather than large volumes of unqualified leads. Candidates with established landlord, landowner or property investor networks are particularly welcome. What We Need From You When applying, please explain: Your experience with PLO, R2R, title splitting or similar property deals. The areas of the UK you cover. How you identify and approach landlords and landowners. Examples of deals or qualified leads you have sourced previously, where you can share them. Your proposed fee structure, whether fixed per qualified lead, per completed deal, or another mutually agreed arrangement. Engagement and Payment We are open to discussing a flexible arrangement based on the candidate's experience and the quality of opportunities delivered. The priority is to establish a reliable working relationship with someone who can consistently identify genuine opportunities and connect us with owners who are willing to discuss these types of arrangements. Important: We are looking for genuine property opportunities and direct access to interested owners, not scraped databases, recycled leads or generic property lists. If you have the skills and contacts to source creative UK property deals, we would like to hear from you.

Swimwear – Bikini Tech Pack & Integrated Padding

Project description I'm developing Violet Form, a new UK swimwear and bodywear brand built around the concept of permanently integrated, non-removable padding. My first launch will focus on a matching bikini top and bottom set. The key selling point is that the padding cannot fall out, twist or fold during washing and wear, providing a more convenient and reliable alternative to traditional removable bikini cups. I have already developed the brand concept, moodboards, design references, initial sketches and a draft technical pack for the bikini top. I'm now looking for an experienced freelance swimwear technical designer or product developer to help me refine the design and prepare it for sampling and manufacturing. The main areas I need help with are: Reviewing and improving my existing bikini top tech pack. Developing the technical specifications and tech pack for the matching bikini bottom. Advising on the best construction method for permanently securing the padding within the bikini top. Providing technical guidance on suitable moulded cups, lining fabrics, swimwear materials and stitching methods. Refining technical drawings, measurements, construction details and component specifications. Preparing clear documentation that can be used by my chosen overseas manufacturer for sampling and production. I'm particularly interested in someone who understands the practical challenges of swimwear construction, including gathered bikini cups, moulded padding and lining construction. Project approach As this is a start-up business, I need to keep the initial development costs manageable. I would prefer to work in stages, starting with a review of my existing designs and technical pack, followed by a clear quotation for any further work required. I am not simply looking for attractive fashion illustrations. I need practical technical expertise to help turn the concept into a manufacturable product. Ideal freelancer Demonstrable experience in swimwear design, technical design or pattern cutting. Experience producing production-oriented tech packs. Knowledge of moulded cups, padding integration, linings and swimwear fabrics. Experience working with overseas manufacturers is desirable. Clear communication and a collaborative approach. Willingness to work within a defined budget and agree deliverables before starting. Deliverables For the initial stage, I would like a review of my existing materials, identification of missing technical information, and recommendations for the most practical construction method. Please also quote separately for completing the bikini top and bottom tech packs, including any technical drawings, measurements, construction specifications and supporting documentation required. All agreed final files must be supplied to me, with ownership and usage rights confirmed in writing, so I can use them with my chosen manufacturer. Please include examples of relevant previous work, your estimated costs, timescale and what would be included in your proposed service. Thank you. I look forward to hearing from suitable freelancers.

Flexible, adaptable, intelligent, diplomatic and ruthlessly efficient describes the person required. This opportunity is only for serious players. Your British Spoken and Written English skills must be excellent; there is no time for correcting spellings and pronunciations from other jurisdictions and dialects. You must be capable of being shown how to do something once and then doing it correctly, consistently and repeatedly without needing to be reminded, chased or shown again. You must be available to start immediately. British working hours must be covered, although working times will vary and may fall anywhere between 6.00 am and 9.00 pm. Weekend work will be required when workloads, urgent cases or major deadlines demand it. You will become the right-hand person to the Executive Director of Landlord Licensing & Defence. Things must be made to happen quickly, accurately and efficiently so that backlogs do not develop and deadlines are never missed. Fast and reliable broadband is essential, together with a backup internet connection for use if the main service fails because of a provider problem, natural disaster or any other disruption. This role is for someone who works hard, goes the extra mile, remains dependable and understands that clients and urgent work cannot simply be abandoned when pressure increases. The systems are relatively simple and straightforward, and anyone who listens carefully, follows instructions and learns quickly should be capable of providing the required support. Much of the work involves copying and pasting accurately, interpreting information, filling gaps, completing forms, preparing documents, maintaining systems and relentlessly following people up until the required result is achieved. The Executive Director does not have time to continue carrying out administration because previous assistants were inefficient, failed to learn and could not act properly upon short or incomplete instructions. There is nothing unnecessarily complicated about the administrative work, but it must be completed correctly, quickly and in exactly the required way. Excellent spoken and written English is compulsory. Perfect grammar, spelling, comprehension and attention to detail must be demonstrated in everything written and said throughout the application process. Being “nearly right” will not be good enough. Communication must always be written in the required house style, which means that there is no “I” or “we”, the client and subject matter remain central, opinions are not invented and every statement is based upon facts, evidence, the law and the reality of the work being undertaken. All clients are under immense pressure because enforcement action is being taken against them. Anxiety and distress must be handled quickly, calmly and diplomatically without promises being made that cannot be fulfilled and without deadlines being committed to unless delivery can be guaranteed. Incomplete instructions must be understood in the context of previous work so that documents and tasks can be prepared for checking without everything having to be explained from the beginning. Corrections must be understood, implemented immediately and applied to all future work without the same mistakes being repeated. This is not a comfortable role for someone who needs constant supervision, avoids responsibility, disappears when things become difficult or produces excuses instead of results. The Executive Director works fast, expects things to be done properly, does not suffer fools gladly and wants the bloody job done. If that sounds unreasonable, do not apply. If that sounds like the challenge you have been waiting for, apply now. Where you live does not matter, and applications are welcomed from anywhere in the world provided that the required working hours, availability, internet reliability and standard of English can be delivered without exception. ACTION: Send a short, entertaining story by DM explaining why an invitation to apply should be sent to you. Do not send a generic CV introduction, corporate waffle or something obviously produced by artificial intelligence. Show intelligence, personality, humour, perfect English and the ability to follow these instructions.
