I’m putting together a new website on WordPress and need a developer who can take it from a blank install to a polished, fully functional blog section. The core of the project is straightforward: set up WordPress, configure a clean theme that matches basic brand colours, and make sure the blogging functionality is smooth, fast, and easy for me to update later. Here’s what I expect: • WordPress installed on my hosting with any necessary security and performance plugins in place. • A responsive theme—free or premium—that you customise so the blog looks professional on desktop, tablet, and mobile. • Clear blog-post templates (featured image, categories, tags, author box, social share). • Basic on-page SEO setup: friendly permalinks, meta fields ready, and an XML sitemap generated. • A short walkthrough (screenshare or concise document) so I can add future posts without touching code. If you can recommend extra touches—like a lightweight newsletter signup or analytics integration—let me know. I’m ready to move quickly once we agree on scope and timeline.
