Personal Blog Website Build

I’m ready to get my personal blog online and need a web developer who can take the idea from blank page to fully-functioning site. The end result should be a clean, responsive blog that is easy for me to update without touching code.

Core needs
• Modern, clutter-free design that highlights written content and images
• Home feed, category pages, searchable archive, and a dedicated post layout with comments enabled
• Simple, intuitive CMS—WordPress, Ghost, or another platform you recommend—so I can draft, schedule, and publish posts on my own
• Fast load times, solid on-page SEO structure, and mobile-first responsiveness

I’ll supply copy and photography once the framework is in place; you handle setup, theme or template customization, and any required plugins or integrations (analytics, email signup, social sharing).

Please outline your proposed tech stack, estimated timeline, and a few live examples of blogs you’ve built. Looking forward to collaborating on a site that’s stylish, speedy, and a pleasure to read.
