About the project

Crossword-Poster.com is a prototype that lets visitors design a personalised crossword poster—but today it cannot actually sell posters. I need a partner who can:

• Deliver a memorable landing page (Webflow animations, storytelling, trust signals).

• Polish the React/Next.js poster designer so anyone on mobile or desktop can create a print-ready, share-worthy design in minutes.

• Connect the flow to Shopify/Stripe for real checkout and order management.

Phase 1 focuses on those fundamentals; further features (gallery, AI suggestions, etc.) will follow if Phase 1 hits its goals.

Scope

• Themes & typography – 6–8 premium colour/type presets plus refined caption text rules.

• Mobile-first UX – remove sideways scroll, add thumb-friendly controls, improve micro-interactions.

• “Wow” landing – hero section with a standout interaction, social proof, basic SEO, Web Vitals 90+.

Checkout hookup – Stripe or Shopify checkout wired to the builder draft → order → confirmation email.

Handoff in GitHub (code) + Figma/Webflow (design).

Timeline target: 3–4 weeks from contract start. Please propose a pricing model (fixed, milestones, or capped hourly) that fits that scope.

Tech stack

Builder: React, Next.js, Tailwind, shadcn/ui (GitHub repo provided).

Landing: Webflow

Commerce: Shopify or Stripe
