I’m ready to give my current site – byteperday.com – a full makeover so it feels like a timeless newspaper you’d want to unfold every morning, yet still loads fast, works on every screen and keeps readers talking. Here’s what I need built and polished: • A clean, print-inspired layout with strong typography, generous white space and subtle color accents that evoke a traditional press look while staying modern and responsive. • A fully-featured comment section where visitors must sign in before posting and can instantly show appreciation (or disagreement) through a like / dislike toggle on every comment. If you have an elegant way to extend this later to threaded replies, let me know; for now authentication and reactions are mandatory. • Smart on-site search so readers can jump straight to the article they remember. At minimum I need a lightning-fast keyword search; if you have experience layering in category, tag or date filters without cluttering the interface, pitch it. The core content will remain personal blog pieces presented in a news-style format, so the CMS flow has to be frictionless: draft, schedule, publish, repeat. Tech-wise I’m open—whether you prefer vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, a PHP-based system like WordPress, or a modern stack such as Next.js—just be clear about the approach and how it supports classic design aesthetics. When you reply, show me two or three live links to similar blogs or news sites you’ve built, highlighting any custom comment or search work you did. Also outline your estimated timeline and the milestones you foresee from design mock-ups through final deployment on my existing domain. Let’s craft something that feels old-school in spirit and rock-solid in code.
