We’re relaunching as The Southside Network, a regional media platform serving 12 Southside Atlanta cities. We need an experienced WordPress developer to build a video-first, city-centric site modeled after ASBN.com, Axios Local, and City Cast. The site will include Episodes, News, Deals & Steals, Events, and a Sponsor/Directory, all filterable by city, topic, and show. Design should reflect our red, white & blue (I-85 sign) branding. You’ll deliver wireframes, UI in Figma, a custom theme with CPTs/filtering, sample content, SEO setup, and admin training — plus 30 days support post-launch. Please include relevant media or multi-city WordPress site samples and a fixed-price bid.
