Platform connecting businesses with the self-employed
A service that connects businesses with self-employed contractors. On a remote contract I merged its separate React landing pages and an old, plugin-heavy blog into one custom WordPress platform with a new design.

The task
The site lived in two places. The landing pages were in React, and the legacy WordPress blog was full of heavy plugins. Every new page needed a developer, leads came in through different paths, and the blog was hard to edit.
- One platform and one design for the landing pages and the blog
- Marketing launches pages without developers
- Every form lead ends up in the CRM
- Fewer heavy plugins and more control over the code
What I built
Platform
- A custom WordPress theme in the new design, with the React landing pages moved into it.
- A block-based landing builder, so marketing assembles pages from ready-made blocks.
- A three-level menu manager for the business, contractor and partner sections.
- A fully editable blog (the “Journal”) with sections for businesses and contractors, and case studies.
Integrations and cleanup
- Leads from Contact Form 7 go to Bitrix24 CRM.
- Replaced heavy plugins with lean custom code.
- Owned the full cycle, from architecture to support.
Outcome
- menu levels managed from the admin
- 3
Marketing now builds pages from ready-made blocks without a developer.
You can still see this structure on the live site. It has separate sections for businesses, contractors and partners, a journal with case studies, and callback forms.
