Subscription Ready Personal Blog Build

I want a clean, fast personal blog built from the ground up with a prominent subscription option so readers can easily join my mailing list. The design should be minimalist yet engaging, fully responsive across devices, and simple for me to update without touching code.

You’re free to suggest the best platform—WordPress, Ghost, or a lightweight static-site generator—as long as it supports email capture, integrates smoothly with providers like Mailchimp or ConvertKit, and won’t lock me into expensive add-ons later. I’m flexible on extra touches such as a comment section or social media share buttons, but the subscription flow is non-negotiable and must work flawlessly before hand-off.

Deliverables
• Live, hosted personal blog with a working subscription form (double opt-in enabled)
• Customisable theme aligned with my colour palette and typography preferences
• Basic SEO setup (clean URLs, meta tags, and sitemap)
• Short hand-over guide showing me how to publish posts, manage subscribers, and add new pages

I’ll provide the domain and hosting credentials once we start. If this sounds like a quick, satisfying build for you, let’s get rolling.
