I need a modern, responsive blog site built with a lightweight CMS—WordPress, Ghost, or a similarly intuitive platform—so I can publish articles quickly without touching code. The site’s must-have feature is a newsletter subscription flow that feeds addresses straight into Mailchimp (or another mainstream email service) and triggers a confirmation email automatically. The design should be clean, mobile-first, and easy to extend later with extras such as a comment section or social-media-sharing buttons, but those add-ons are not part of this initial phase. SEO-ready markup, fast load times, and clear typography are important so new readers stick around. Deliverables • Fully functional blog website, hosted on my own domain • Newsletter subscription integration, tested end-to-end • Responsive layout that passes Google Mobile-Friendly Test • Basic on-page SEO setup (titles, meta, XML sitemap) • Administrator guide (short PDF or screencast) showing how to post, edit, and manage subscribers I will supply the hosting credentials and brand assets as soon as we start; you set up everything on a staging link, then push live once I approve.
