We are The Football Compass, and we are building PlayerCompass, a web-only MVP platform designed to advise academy and youth football players (ages 13–21) and their parents on their development pathways. We need an expert to deliver a public marketing website and an authenticated web app. The website should communicate clarity and credibility for parents, highlighting the platform’s purpose, football credibility, and ease of use. It must have sections for explaining our value proposition, intended users, simple process steps, and example output, designed in a clean, modern, and parent-friendly manner for mobile and desktop. The web app side needs user registration, a custom player intake questionnaire, API-based (not custom ML) AI-powered career analysis, career report output (including PDF), Stripe payments (one-off and subscription), and a basic admin dashboard. A scalable architecture is important. We are open to solutions like Bubble, Next.js, or Webflow plus a backend. You should have experience with SaaS or data-driven advisory platforms, pay special attention to UX for non-technical users, and communicate clearly and honestly about trade-offs during development. After launch, we expect to iterate and improve, so the codebase must be well-documented and easy to hand over. Please share relevant past projects, your suggested tech stack, estimated timeline, proposed budget, and your ideas for making the website stand out.

Budget range:
Medium project ($1,500 – 3,000 USD)

Who are you, and what do you do?
The Football Compass
Our Mission
To help young footballers and their families make informed, confident career decisions by providing clear, objective guidance grounded in football reality, data, and long-term development principles.
We exist to replace uncertainty and guesswork with structure, understanding, and direction — supporting players at every stage of their journey, regardless of where that journey ultimately leads.
Our Vision
A football ecosystem where every young player has access to honest guidance, realistic pathways, and transparent information — not just those with connections, luck, or privilege.
We envision a future where football careers are navigated with clarity rather than pressure, where development is prioritized over short-term outcomes, and where players are supported as athletes and people.
Our Values
⚽ Clarity Over Hype
We believe clear, honest insight is more valuable than promises or exaggeration. We communicate realities, not fantasies.
🧠 Development First
Long-term growth — physical, technical, mental, and personal — comes before short-term results. Sustainable careers start with patience and perspective.
📊 Objectivity & Fairness
We rely on structured analysis and context, not reputation, favoritism, or noise. Every player deserves unbiased guidance.
🤝 Trust & Integrity
Parents and players trust us with important decisions. We treat that responsibility seriously and act with transparency, discretion, and care.
🌍 Accessibility & Opportunity
Quality career guidance should not be limited by geography or background. We aim to make expert-level insight accessible worldwide.
🚫 No Guarantees, No Agents
We do not sell dreams, contracts, or representation. Our role is guidance and education — empowering better decisions, not controlling outcomes.
📈 Progress, Not Perfection
Football development is non-linear. We value consistent improvement, resilience, and learning over rigid expectations.
