🔨 Job Post: MVP Web Developer for Housing Startup
Project:
We’re building a visual, interactive website that lets users explore and begin the process of buying and building a small home online — from selecting a model to choosing upgrade tiers.
This is not a standard marketing site — the site is the product.
This posting is focused solely on the MVP for Apropos, the house model selection interface — not the broader Tiny Townships platform.
🔍 What We Need:
A lean MVP site built in WordPress (Elementor preferred), with a basic front-end flow to:
Show 3–5 models with images, pricing tiers, and descriptions
Simulate selections using basic front-end interactions (e.g., tabs or dropdowns — no backend logic yet)
Retain selections across pages using front-end methods (e.g., localStorage or session-based state)
Guide users through a simple 3–4 step explanation of the build process
Display a running total as users make selections
Capture user info and selected options via a form at the end of the flow
Submit captured data to Zoho CRM (via field injection or API/webhook)
Other Requirements:
Mobile responsive, clean layout — black text on white, minimal, architectural feel
Visual tone should match https://dacusti.com — clean, modern, precise
Basic analytics setup: Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn (codes already in hand)
Code should be clearly organized and handed off in a maintainable state (HTML, CSS, JS, WordPress structure)
🎯 Goal of This MVP:
To validate interest by collecting qualified leads — users who explore available models and submit their info after making basic selections. This version does not require live pricing logic, full quoting, or account creation — just a clear, functional selection flow and a successful form submission.
💼 Ideal Skills:
Elementor or similar WordPress page builder expertise
Confident designing clean, modern layouts — similar to https://dacusti.com
Light JavaScript or CSS for interface logic (e.g., conditional displays, tabbed selection flow)
Experience working with localStorage and injecting data into form fields or CRM submissions
Ability to move fast, simplify scope, and not overcomplicate
Respect for clean design and minimalist aesthetics (no clutter or gimmicks)
💵 Budget & Timeline:
Hourly: Open to hourly proposals — ideally $50–$100/hr depending on experience
Timeline: 3–5 weeks to deliver a lean, functional MVP
Budget cap: Targeting under $5K CAD for Phase 1, with potential for further work afterward
Knowledge of BC housing or construction is a plus
🔎 Prototype:
You can preview an early prototype at https://tinytownships.ca/apropos/house-plans/, with rough-in concepts of the larger project (beyond MVP) at https://tinytownships.ca/apropos/. The current setup uses a full-screen selector approach, which has promise — but we’re also open to a scroll-based layout with a sticky header if it better serves the MVP. We’re looking for someone who can help refine the structure while keeping scope tight and execution lean.
