WordPress Developer for HTML Conversion
There is opportunity for long term partnership for the right person. I'm building a professional community and resource hub for a niche financial services industry. The site serves two audiences: credentialed professionals in this field, and business owners seeking expert services. The site design is already 100% complete as a fully coded, single HTML file. I need an experienced WordPress developer to convert it into a fully functional WordPress site on my existing hosting account with a working backend I can manage myself. ---
