I can build you 2 pages, one of which will display the categories ( with Photos, info, etc).
and similar 2nd page where curations will be displayed, i need a proper explanation on this.
I can do this in 5 days.

I have 5.7 years of experience in WordPress, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, PHP.
Please message me so that I can help you.
