I’m ready to launch a polished, professional-looking blog and need someone who can take the concept from zero to fully live. The site should feel clean and authoritative rather than flashy, with typography and layout choices that make long-form posts easy to read on any device. A built-in newsletter signup is essential so I can start growing an email audience from day one. You’ll handle the full design and build—selecting an appropriate CMS or framework, crafting the visual theme, configuring the newsletter capture (Mailchimp, ConvertKit or similar), and ensuring everything is responsive, SEO-friendly and simple for me to update. Once complete, I want to be able to publish articles, tag them, and push them to social channels without touching code. Please share a few links to comparable blogs you’ve designed and note which tools or platforms you’d use for this project. If you can also advise on hosting or performance tuning, that’s a plus.
