Experienced WordPress Developer for Website Rebrand

Experienced WordPress developer required (expert in Oxygen Builder + WooCommerce) for the first phase of our site rebrand from coversmart.ch to ecomshop.ch.

Goal: Premium, minimalist tech aesthetic — full black/dark mode (#000000/#111111) with white accents, fast loading, consistent branding. No major rewrites needed.


Upon hiring, you'll receive site access and REBRANDING-3.pdf with sketches/references:

Homepage Mockup: Mobile-first black background. Top: Logo "ecomshop.ch", search bar, "My Account/Login", menu (Shop, Categories, New Arrivals, Best Deals, About Us). Hero banner: "Welcome to ecomshop.ch – Your premium tech destination". Below: 3 category cards (e.g., Smartphones/Apple, Origination/Samsung, Audio/Xiaomi). Then grids of random products (e.g., Smartphones, Laptops, Accessories) in repeating rows for testing.

Footer Mockup: Black background. Top row: Brand links (Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Andere Hersteller, Elektro & Zubehör, Kundenbereich). Trust section: UBS logo + "Banking Partner: UBS Switzerland AG" (use original UBS logo), Handelsverband.swiss logo, Ecommerce Europe Trustmark. Links: Über uns, Impressum, Kontakt, Kundenservice (Versandinformationen, Rückgaberecht, etc.), Google Maps iframe ("Visit us in Basel"). Bottom: Copyright "© 2026 ecom GmbH. All rights reserved." + placeholders for email, phone, etc.

Favicon/Logo (Page 4): Circular white "e" on black background (favicon sizes). Main logo: White "ecomshop.ch" text on black background.

Other pages: Category grid (black, filters, large images), product (black, prominent Add to Cart).

Priority for this job (Milestone 1 – Tasks 1–5):

1. Rebrand from coversmart.ch to ecom / ecomshop.ch (Est. 4–6 hours)
Replace all instances of "coversmart.ch" with "ecom" (site title, meta tags, URLs if needed, footer text, etc.). Update main logo: Remove old and replace with white "ecomshop.ch" logo on black background (reference in PDF page 4). Why: Matches "Intelligent Swiss AI & Technology Innovation" positioning. How: Oxygen global settings, search/replace in code/templates.

2. Full Retheme: Remove Blue, Replace with Black (Est. 8–10 hours)
Change all blue elements to black/dark mode (#000000 or #111111 depth). White text/accents for contrast (e.g., white on black body/buttons). Responsive/mobile-first. Update to clean sans-serif (e.g., Inter/Roboto, bold headers). Match homepage/footer sketches (all black). Why: Sleek high-end (Apple/xAI vibe), quiet dominance. How: Oxygen global colors/styles, custom CSS. Test desktop/mobile.

3. Fix Page Loading Speeds (Est. 4–6 hours)
Compress images (<100KB, WebP, lazy load). Minify CSS/JS. Enable caching (WP Super Cache or similar). Reduce requests. Aim 90+ PageSpeed mobile/desktop. Why: Critical for Swiss conversions/bounce rate. How: Oxygen tools, GTmetrix/PageSpeed, .htaccess tweaks.

4. Replace Favicon with Circular "e" on Black (Est. 1–2 hours)
Upload circular white "e" on black (PDF page 4). All sizes (16x16, 32x32, 180x180). Why: Premium minimalist branding. How: WordPress/Oxygen Site Identity, clear cache.

5. Add Trust Badges/Logos to Footer (Est. 2–3 hours)
Add UBS logo + "Banking Partner: UBS Switzerland AG", Handelsverband.swiss logo, Ecommerce Europe Trustmark. Embed Google Maps iframe ("Visit us in Basel"). Match footer mockup. Why: Swiss trust halo, reduces abandonment. How: Oxygen footer builder, images/links.
