I’m launching a WordPress-based blog dedicated to my personal stories and need a developer to set everything up so I can jump straight into writing. The core of the site should be a clean, reader-friendly theme that highlights long-form posts and encourages conversation through a built-in comment section. Here’s what I’m after: • WordPress installation and theme configuration (free or premium—open to your recommendation) • A posts layout that keeps the focus on the narrative—minimal distractions, strong typography, easy mobile reading • Native WordPress comments enabled and styled to match the theme • Basic pages (Home, About, Contact) prepared so I can add content myself • Essential security, backup and SEO plugins installed and lightly configured Social sharing buttons or a newsletter signup might come later, but for this first phase the priority is getting a polished, stable blogging platform online with comments working perfectly. Hand-off deliverables should include admin credentials, a brief walkthrough of how to publish and manage posts, and any theme or plugin licenses transferred to me. If this sounds straightforward for you, let’s get my stories live.
