I need a seasoned WordPress developer who can stand up a clean, responsive personal blog for me right away. The core build is straightforward—think standard posts and pages—but it has to look polished, load fast, and be easy for me to update. Must-haves • Seamless social media integration: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram share/follow buttons visible on every post and in the header. • Customizable theme (child theme or full custom, whichever is quicker) that matches a minimalist aesthetic. • Mobile-first layout with solid Core Web Vitals scores. Nice-to-have (if time allows) • Comment section and newsletter signup can be left hooked in but disabled for now so I can activate them later without extra dev work. Deliverables 1. WordPress installation on my host, including SSL and basic security plugins. 2. Final theme and child theme files. 3. Documented steps for updating menus, widgets, and social links. 4. One brief hand-off call or video walkthrough. I’m ready to start immediately and will be responsive with content, colors, and hosting credentials so you can move fast.
