I’m starting a brand-new personal blog and need the entire front-end built from scratch. The stack I’d like to stick with is classic and lightweight—HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript on the client side, with SQL handling the data layer behind the scenes—so everything stays fast, clean and easy to maintain. Because I don’t have a fixed design in mind, I’m open to your creative direction. Feel free to suggest modern, responsive layouts, colour palettes and typography that suit a writer’s voice and make long-form posts comfortable to read on any device. Smooth navigation, clear post categorisation and an intuitive search are high on my wish list. Key deliverables • Fully responsive landing page, post list and single-post template • Clean, modular CSS (Flexbox/Grid preferred) with comments for future tweaks • Lightweight JavaScript to handle interactive elements (e.g., menu, dark mode, client-side form validation) • SQL schema and sample queries to store and retrieve posts, comments and tags • Documentation outlining build steps, file structure and deployment instructions Cross-browser compatibility (latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and performance best practices should be baked in from the start. Once the core blog is live and stable, I’m happy to discuss follow-on work for enhancements such as user accounts or an admin dashboard.
