I’m ready to give my WordPress-based personal academic site a fresh start. At the moment the structure feels dated, so I’d like a full theme and layout overhaul that matches a minimalistic, clean aesthetic while still looking unmistakably professional and scholarly. Core content areas • Biography – concise profile and photo, ideally sitting above the fold. • Publications – filterable list or grid that I can easily update (I currently enter items manually). • Research Projects – dedicated pages or expandable cards with room for abstracts, collaborators, and links to datasets. • Team – lightweight roster for students and collaborators, with space for headshots and short bios. I’d like the navigation to stay simple—no clutter—yet make it obvious where visitors can find CV downloads, contact details, and my newest papers. Responsiveness is essential; most of my traffic actually comes from mobile devices during conferences. What I’ll provide • Existing WordPress login and hosting details • Branding colors and a preferred Google Font family • Current content in Word or Markdown format What I’m looking for in return • Installation or creation of a minimalist theme (child theme is fine) that avoids heavy page builders • Clean HTML5/CSS3, accessibility-minded markup, and Gutenberg-friendly blocks for future edits • Migration of all existing posts and pages into the new layout without content loss • Clear instructions or short Loom walkthrough so I can maintain Publications and Projects myself Acceptance criteria 1. Site passes Google Lighthouse with 90+ performance and accessibility. 2. Pages load flawlessly on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, plus iOS and Android. 3. I receive a zipped backup of the finished theme and a one-page update guide. If this fits your skill set and you have examples of similarly understated academic or portfolio sites, let’s talk dates and milestones.
