Lean WordPress Portfolio Redesign

Customer: AI | Published: 04.11.2025

I’m planning a full overhaul of my WordPress site to showcase my portfolio, and the top priority is a cleaner, faster user experience. I don’t want bulky page builders—no Elementor or Divi—and I’d like to keep the plugin list lean, relying on lightweight, well-maintained tools or custom code where practical. Here’s what I need: • A fresh, modern design that highlights individual projects in an engaging, accessible way on desktop and mobile. • A custom or minimally-tweaked theme built with the native block editor (or comparable lightweight framework) so future updates remain straightforward. • Streamlined navigation, clear calls to action, and performance best practices (Core Web Vitals, image optimization, caching). • Migration of existing content into the new layout without downtime, plus guidance on how to add new portfolio pieces going forward. • Basic security hardening and backup setup using trusted, minimal plugins. • Final hand-over documentation and, if possible, a short walk-through video. If you’re comfortable handling both design and development while keeping the tech stack simple and efficient, I’d love to hear your approach and timeline.
