I would like a brand-new blog/news website developed from scratch. The project involves both the design and the coding, so I’m looking for someone who can craft a clean, modern layout and then implement it in a way that is fast, mobile-friendly, and easy for me to update. The site should include a front page that automatically pulls in the latest posts, intuitive category navigation, a simple search function, and space for future monetisation such as banner ads or sponsored content. An admin area where I can draft, edit, schedule, and publish articles is essential; I’m comfortable with WordPress, but I’m open to a custom or headless CMS solution if you can explain the benefits. Good on-page SEO, schema markup for articles, and responsive styling across phones, tablets, and desktops are part of the scope. Security best practices, basic performance optimisation, and integration with Google Analytics will need to be in place before hand-over. Deliverables: • Fully functioning live website hosted on my domain • Admin credentials and any licences or source files • Short walkthrough or documentation so I can manage future posts If you have recent blog or news sites in your portfolio, please share a link so I can see your approach to layout, speed, and readability. I’m ready to get started as soon as we agree on a timeline.
