I want to build a personal blog where I can regularly share practical business tips and tricks I pick up as I keep learning in the digital space. The site should feel clean, professional, and easy to update so I can focus on writing rather than wrestling with code. My priorities • An intuitive CMS (WordPress, Ghost, or another platform you recommend) • A responsive, fast-loading theme that balances a personal voice with a business-oriented look • Straightforward navigation so readers can quickly find each article or category • Basic on-page SEO, social-sharing readiness, and an email-signup area to help the blog grow Deliverables • Complete installation and configuration of the chosen CMS • Custom or customised theme with brand-aligned colours and typography • Essential plugins/extensions for SEO, caching, backups, and spam protection • A starter set of pages (Home, About, Contact) plus a sample blog post so I can see the workflow • Brief hand-over guide showing how to create, schedule, and publish new articles Acceptance criteria • Site loads in under 3 seconds on desktop and passes Google’s mobile-friendly test • I can log in, draft a post, add images, and publish without extra assistance • All links, menus, and forms function correctly across modern browsers I’m open to your suggestions on themes, hosting, and any growth tools that will keep the blog scalable. Let me know how you’d approach the build, what timeline you foresee, and any past examples that demonstrate your skill with similar projects.
