UI Updates for Community Economy Platform

We're seeking a skilled frontend developer to help us align our React-based web application (app2.involvemint.io) with our updated design system specifications. This project involves implementing visual and component updates across our mutual credit marketplace platform that connects small businesses for service exchanges.

Specific Tasks:

Week 1-2: Color System & Typography Overhaul
Update CSS custom properties to implement our standardized color palette (replacing deprecated orange business accents with unified green system: #39AA2C primary, #099929 secondary)
Implement Inter font family with proper typographic hierarchy (72px headers, 24px titles, 16px body)
Standardize button component variants (primary dark, secondary green, outline, destructive states)

Week 3-4: Component Standardization
Update input field styling with proper focus states (#3CB371 border on focus)
Implement card component standards (8px border radius, proper padding scale based on 4px grid)
Add status badge components with correct pill styling and color coding
Ensure icon library uses 2px stroke weight, rounded caps, consistent 24px sizing

Week 5-6: Page-Level Updates
Dashboard (/): Add Quick Stats section, update feed tabs to "For You/Recent/Near Me"
Wallet (/wallet): Update balance card styling with #2B7A5F background
Market (/market): Implement match badges ("Good fit", "Near you", "Past partner")
Storefront (/storefront): Remove orange theme, apply unified green color system

Required Skills:
React (our app uses React Router v7)
Tailwind CSS proficiency
Experience with design system implementation
Understanding of CSS custom properties/variables
Familiarity with responsive/mobile-first design patterns
Bonus: Experience with Figma-to-code workflows

Time Commitment: 3-4 hours per week for 6 weeks

involveMINT is building a mutual credit marketplace that enables small businesses to trade services using credits instead of traditional currency—strengthening local supply chains and creating resilient community economies. When a graphic designer needs catering and a caterer needs design work, our platform lets them exchange services directly, keeping value circulating within their community.

Why This Project Matters: User Trust & Adoption: A polished, consistent interface signals professionalism and reliability. Small business owners are entrusting their livelihoods to our platform—they need to feel confident in the tool they're using. Inconsistent design erodes that trust.

Accessibility & Usability: Our standardized typography hierarchy and proper color contrast ratios ensure the platform is accessible to users of all abilities. The 4px spacing grid and consistent component patterns reduce cognitive load, making it easier for busy business owners to quickly find matches and complete exchanges.
Mobile-First Communities: Many of our target users—particularly in food and agricultural businesses—primarily access technology via mobile devices. Aligning with our mobile-first design system ensures they can participate fully in the local economy we're building.

Impact Numbers: Currently serving small businesses in local food and agricultural networks
Each successful exchange keeps money circulating locally rather than leaving the community
The platform enables cash-free transactions, reducing barriers for businesses with tight cash flow
Our credit system has facilitated thousands of dollars in equivalent service exchanges

Your Contribution: By helping us implement these design updates, you'll be directly enabling small businesses to connect, trade, and thrive together. Every improvement to our interface removes friction from the exchange process—meaning more local businesses discovering each other, more services traded, and stronger community economic resilience.
Your frontend expertise will literally help build the infrastructure for a more equitable local economy.
