WordPress Portfolio Website Build

I’m ready to put my work online and I want a clean, easy-to-manage portfolio built entirely on WordPress. The goal is a straightforward site that looks polished on desktop and mobile alike and lets me add new projects without touching code.

Here’s what I have and what I need:
• Hosting and a fresh WordPress install can be provided the moment we start.
• I need you to pick or create a lightweight, modern theme, set up the core pages (Home, Portfolio, About, Contact), and configure a contact form that delivers straight to my inbox.
• A grid or masonry layout for the portfolio section is a must; filtering or category tags would be a welcome extra if it doesn’t bloat the site.
• Basic on-page SEO, image optimisation and a security/backup plugin setup should be included so the site launches in good health.
• When everything is live, a quick walkthrough (screen share or short doc) showing me how to add/edit projects will wrap things up.

No e-commerce, no complicated membership areas—just a crisp showcase of my work on WordPress. If you’ve built similar sites and can turn this around smoothly, I’d love to hear from you.
