I’m ready to launch a clean, modern blog focused on sharing high-quality images and photo stories. I need the full front-end and back-end design of the site, from selecting or creating a theme right through to a seamless hand-off so I can begin publishing straight away. Core goals • Optimise the layout for visual storytelling: large, fast-loading image spaces with simple text captions. • Keep navigation intuitive—readers should reach any gallery or post in two clicks or less. • Build everything mobile-first so photos look crisp on every screen size. Essential features • Dedicated image gallery with easy batch upload and automatic thumbnail generation. • Native user comments under each post, including basic moderation tools. • One-click social media sharing (Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest). My ideal stack is WordPress or another widely supported CMS, but I’m open to a lightweight custom solution if it stays easy for me to update without touching code. SEO-friendly markup, lazy-loading for photos, and page-speed optimisation are must-haves. Please include: 1. A brief outline of the build process and timeline. 2. Links to two or three image-heavy sites you’ve produced. 3. Your suggested plug-ins or libraries for the gallery, comments, and sharing tools. Once the site is live, a concise user guide (video or PDF) showing how I can add new photo posts and manage comments will complete the project.
