Lifestyle & Wellness WordPress Blog Design

Project Title: Lifestyle Blog Design – Blended Family + Wellness Brand

Overview:
I’m starting a lifestyle blog focused on blended families, motherhood, mental health, and personal growth. My goal is to create a warm, trustworthy, and inspiring space that feels both personal and professional.

Platform:
WordPress (self-hosted)

Design Style:
- Clean, calming, and modern
- Soft, neutral or earthy tones
- Welcoming and family-oriented
- Not overly busy or cluttered
- Feminine but grounded (not overly “girly”)

Inspiration Websites:
- Six Sisters’ Stuff (layout and usability)
- The Pioneer Woman (warmth and storytelling feel)
- A Beautiful Mess (clean lifestyle aesthetic)

Pages Needed:
- Home page
- Blog page
- About page
- Category pages (Recipes, Blended Family, Mental Health, etc.)
- Contact page

Key Features:
- Mobile-friendly design
- Easy-to-navigate categories
- Email signup integration
- Space for featured posts
- Pinterest-friendly layout (important)

Brand Direction:
This blog is centered around long-term blended family success, real-life experiences, and emotional growth. I want readers to feel understood, supported, and hopeful when they visit.

Future Vision:
This will grow into a personal brand including blogging, speaking (TED-style), and possibly coaching/therapy in the future.

Deliverables:
- Fully designed WordPress site
- Theme customization
- Basic setup instructions if possible

Timeline:
Flexible, but ideally within 2–4 weeks

Budget:
Open depending on experience and quality

- Portfolio of similar blog designs
