Bilingual Website Design for English-Ace Online Language Learning Business (With Countdown Timer & Free PDF Offers)

I am looking for a skilled and creative web developer/designer to create a bilingual website for my online English language learning business, English-Ace. The website will target both English-speaking students and Spanish-speaking students from Spain and South America. The site needs to be professional, user-friendly, mobile-responsive, and optimized for SEO in both English and Spanish. Additionally, the site should feature a countdown timer to the next upcoming academy session or course to create urgency and encourage sign-ups. We also need an option for visitors to register their interest and receive 3 free downloadable PDFs to engage potential students. Key Requirements: Bilingual Website (English & Spanish): The website must have both English and Spanish versions. Either use a subdomain (e.g., [login to view URL]) or a language switcher to allow users to choose their preferred language. Ensure that the content is fully translated (translation services can be arranged separately, or you can integrate a translation plugin). Design and Branding: The design should be clean, modern, and professional, reflecting the language learning industry. Maintain a consistent brand identity across both language versions. Ensure easy navigation with a focus on user experience, especially for non-tech-savvy users (students, parents, etc.). Responsive Design: The site must be mobile-responsive and work seamlessly across all devices (desktop, tablet, and mobile). Optimize for fast loading times and ensure compatibility with all modern browsers. Key Features: Homepage with an overview of services, calls to action (CTA), and testimonials. Countdown Timer: Prominently feature a countdown timer on the homepage that counts down to the start of the next upcoming academy session or course. This will create a sense of urgency for users to sign up before the deadline. Register Your Interest + Free PDFs: Create a section for visitors to register their interest by providing their name and email address in exchange for 3 free downloadable PDFs: English-Ace Workbook Translation Guide Role Play Guide Ensure these PDFs are delivered automatically upon registration and that their details are captured for future email marketing efforts. About Us page with detailed information about the business, mission, and instructors. Services/Classes Page where users can learn about available courses (group lessons, one-on-one tutoring, etc.). Pricing and Packages section with information on various course offerings and subscription models. Booking/Sign-Up Functionality for students to book lessons or register for courses (potentially through an integrated booking system or third-party plugin). Blog/Resource Section for posting language learning tips, articles, and news (optional). Contact Page with a contact form, email address, phone number, and links to social media. Testimonials/Reviews Section for displaying feedback from satisfied students. Multilingual SEO: Optimize the website for SEO in both English and Spanish. This includes relevant meta tags, keywords, alt text, and page structure for both language versions. Ensure proper use of hreflang tags so that search engines know which content is intended for which audience. User-Friendly Admin Panel: The website must be built on a user-friendly CMS (preferably WordPress or another easily manageable platform) so that I can update content, add blog posts, and manage bookings without technical knowledge. Provide guidance or a brief tutorial on how to manage and update the website after completion. Integration of Payment and Booking Systems: Payment integration for students to purchase courses or book lessons (support for PayPal, credit cards, etc.). Integration of a booking system for scheduling classes and managing student registrations. Social Media Integration: Links to social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.). Option to include a live chat feature (e.g., WhatsApp, Messenger) for potential students to easily contact me. Security and GDPR Compliance: Ensure that the website is secure (SSL certificate) and meets GDPR requirements for data protection (especially for the European market). Include cookie consent banners and privacy policy links. Additional Notes: I already own the domain name ([login to view URL]) and may purchase a .es domain for the Spanish version. Hosting will be managed through GoDaddy, but I am open to recommendations for better hosting solutions. If you're proficient in Spanish, that's a plus, but I am happy to arrange for professional translation services if necessary. Deliverables: Fully developed and designed bilingual website. Instructional document or short training on how to manage content updates. SEO setup for both languages. Countdown Timer feature to highlight the urgency for course sign-ups. Register Your Interest feature with automatic PDF downloads. Timeline and Budget: Please include your estimated timeline for completion and a detailed budget breakdown (including any additional costs for plugins, tools, etc.). I am aiming to launch the website within the next 4-6 weeks. To Apply: Please submit examples of previous websites you have developed, especially those that involve multilingual content, language learning platforms, or education-based websites. Provide a brief overview of how you plan to approach this project and any additional features you would recommend. Why Include Free PDFs? Offering free resources such as downloadable workbooks, guides, and role-play materials is an excellent way to engage potential students. It not only adds value to the user but also helps build your email list for future marketing efforts. I do already own the domain [login to view URL] and have built a website on Go daddy but i am unable to make it multi lingual. Current website is [login to view URL] which i will be closing down once my new website is ready to be hosted. Thanks in advance Scott
