Classic Personal Website Design

I’m looking for a skilled web designer to craft a personal-use website that presents my information in a clear, timeless style. The overall aesthetic should feel classic rather than minimalist or overly colorful, so think balanced typography, elegant spacing, and a restrained palette that will age well.

Core objectives
• Single-language personal site with about 3–5 sections (bio, photo gallery, contact, and any optional extras you recommend).
• Fully responsive layout that displays cleanly on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
• Lightweight code and assets for quick loading; vanilla HTML/CSS/JS is fine, and I’m open to WordPress if you can keep the theme uncluttered.
• Simple CMS or editable template so I can update text and images on my own later.
• Basic on-page SEO (proper headings, meta tags, descriptive alt text).

What I’ll provide
• Final copy and photos.
• Inspiration links that capture the classic look I’m after.

Acceptance criteria
• Consistent classic design across all breakpoints.
• Cross-browser compatibility (latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
• Delivered as a deploy-ready package with clear hand-off notes.

If you have past work that showcases elegant, traditional web layouts, please share a link. Let’s create a site that feels enduring and personal without unnecessary flash.
