I’m ready to get a new WordPress site off the ground and I’d like a reliable developer to take it from blank hosting to polished launch. We can start with any solid, well-maintained theme—or you can craft a lightweight custom one if that proves the better route. Either way, I’ll lean on your advice for speed, mobile responsiveness, security best practices, and clean, maintainable code. Typical components on my wish-list are a streamlined contact form, the option for a simple user-login or member area, and on-page SEO basics (permalinks, meta tags, XML sitemap, schema plugin set-up). If you have a proven stack of plugins or workflow that keeps everything fast and future-proof, let’s use it. Please be comfortable handling: • Fresh WordPress installation and database setup • Theme selection or custom theme build with child-theme hygiene • Plugin configuration for contact, membership, and SEO • Performance tuning (caching, image optimisation, Core Web Vitals) • Security hardening and routine backups • Final walkthrough so I understand how to manage the site day-to-day Send a brief note outlining your recent WordPress builds, favourite performance or security tools, and how soon you can start. Screenshots or links to live sites are a plus. Looking forward to collaborating and getting this site online quickly—and properly.
