I’m ready to launch a WordPress-powered blog focused purely on personal expression and I need someone who can take it from a blank install to a polished, reader-friendly site. The build should feel inviting, responsive on every device, and simple for me to update without touching code. Core requirements • WordPress set-up, theme selection or custom theme creation that reflects a personal, authentic voice. • Prominent newsletter signup integrated through Mailchimp, Sendinblue, or a comparable service so visitors can subscribe in one click. • Basic pages (home, about, contact) and a blog layout that highlights individual posts and encourages browsing. • Security hardening, performance optimisation and SEO-ready structure. • A short hand-over guide showing me how to publish, manage the newsletter list, and handle routine updates. Deliverable is a live site on my domain/hosting, fully responsive, with the newsletter feature tested and working. If you enjoy crafting clean WordPress experiences and can complete the set-up quickly, I’d love to collaborate.
