I need to retire an ageing Expression Engine 2.7 install at Peter.Murmann.name and rebuild the site on the latest stable release of WordPress. All pages, posts, media and basic SEO settings must make the trip intact, so a clean database migration or reliable import routine is essential. Visually, I’m aiming for a balanced refresh rather than a full re-brand. The existing colour scheme, logo and overall “feel” need to stay recognizable, yet I’d like the new theme to introduce a more modern layout that looks sharper on today’s screens and behaves elegantly on mobile. Think of it as keeping the personality but giving it a contemporary wardrobe. You’re free to create the theme from scratch, adapt a lightweight framework, or convert the current markup—whichever gets us to a fast-loading, Gutenberg-ready site that’s easy for me to maintain going forward. Re-creating any page-specific templates or custom post types from Expression Engine in WordPress is part of the brief. Deliverables • Fully migrated WordPress site on my server, mirroring all current content and URLs • Custom WordPress theme that preserves colours, logo and branding while adding the modern layout • Responsive design, cross-browser tested, passing Core Web Vitals • Clear hand-over notes outlining theme structure and any custom functions If this sounds straightforward for you, let’s talk timelines and the smoothest path off Expression Engine.
