I need a website designer!!

Website Designer Advertisement – Book a Friend
I’m launching a new professional companionship and wellbeing service called Book a Friend — a non-romantic, platonic companionship experience that helps people reconnect in real life. The idea is simple: coffee, walks, theatre trips, travel, and real human connection.
Project Summary
I’m looking for a talented website designer/developer who can create a clean, warm, and modern website that runs itself. The website should allow clients to browse companion profiles, make secure online bookings, and receive automatic confirmations — providing a safe and private way to connect.
Key Features Required
• Browse companion profiles
• Online booking system with calendar and payment integration
• Automatic booking confirmations and email receipts
• Secure contact form or messaging system
• 'Join Us' page for new companion applications
• Mobile and tablet responsive design
• SEO-friendly setup and SSL security
Preferred Platforms
Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress (whichever best suits automation and easy future updates).
Tone and Design Style
The website must feel kind, trustworthy, and wellbeing-focused — more like a lifestyle or wellbeing service than a commercial business. It should communicate warmth, safety, and connection.
Tagline: Real people. Real connection.
Secondary message: Good company is good for the soul.
Start: As soon as possible
Timeline: Initial version live within 4–6 weeks, with flexibility for updates as the business grows.
Example Tasks for the Designer
• Build a fully automated booking website with online payments.
• Design in peach/cream tones to match existing brand palette.
• Include contact and booking pages that protect client confidentiality.
• Provide training or handover so updates can be managed easily.
Contact / Application Information
To apply, please share:
• Examples of similar service or wellbeing websites you’ve built
• Estimated timeframe and approach
• Platform suggestion (Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress)
• Any additional recommendations for automation or privacy features

Please send proposals via PeoplePerHour.

Thank you.

Thank you for the proposal, but I won’t be moving forward with this arrangement.

I’ve been clear from the beginning that I am only willing to work on an hourly basis with a maximum budget, and I’m not comfortable with large upfront payments or fixed-price packages.

This structure doesn’t align with what I outlined, so I’ll be selecting another freelancer who is happy to work in the way I specified.

Wishing you all the best.
