Hello, I can rebuild your Joomla site into WordPress with a modern, professional design tailored for an engineering consultancy while adding the secure client portal features you need. The migration will cover all existing content/structure, and the redesign will be clean, responsive, and aligned with a technical brand identity. Functionality will include gated membership with a proven plugin (MemberPress or Paid Memberships Pro), a private forum using bbPress (or BuddyBoss if you prefer a richer UI), and a secure download system with Download Monitor. I’ll integrate membership levels so access to forums and documents is seamless, and I’ll harden the site with Wordfence, automated backups, and performance optimization. Questions: – Do you prefer a lightweight theme framework (e.g., GeneratePress, Kadence) for performance, or a more design-heavy theme for visual impact? – Should I migrate the Joomla site content exactly as-is, or re-structure it during the redesign (e.g., improved navigation, consolidated pages)? – For the forum, are you looking for a basic threaded discussion system (bbPress) or a more feature-rich community experience (profiles, private messaging)? I am a TOP Rated Freelancer, and you can check my reviews here as well: https://www.freelancer.com/u/kamran2012 Looking forward to potentially working together on this project. Thanks and Best regards, Kamran.
