I’m ready to launch a new blog and have chosen Drupal as the platform. I need someone who knows the system inside-out to help me go from a clean install to a polished, fully responsive site that’s easy for me to manage day-to-day. Here’s what I’m after: • Set up the latest stable Drupal version on my hosting (or give me hosting guidance if needed). • Recommend and customise a lightweight, mobile-friendly theme that matches a modern blog aesthetic. • Configure must-have modules for SEO, social sharing, spam control, backups, and performance caching. • Build core pages (Home, About, Contact) and demonstrate how I can add new content and categories myself. • Ensure the admin area is streamlined, with clear content-creation workflows and user-role permissions. • Optimise load speed, handle basic on-page SEO, and implement security best practices. • Provide a short hand-off document or screenshare walk-through so I feel comfortable maintaining the site. I’m flexible on design direction as long as the final result is clean, fast, and easy to read on all devices. If you’ve launched blogs on Drupal before, especially those that balance performance with strong visual appeal, I’d love to see your examples.
