Modern Website Development with Blog & Forms

I’m ready to launch a clean, modern-looking website that feels professional yet stays simple to manage. The core build includes:

• A visually engaging homepage that opens with a full-width hero slider followed immediately by a section showing our latest or hand-picked blog posts.
• A blog area I can update once a week without touching code—WordPress, Webflow, or any comparable CMS is fine as long as adding text, images, and tags is straightforward.
• Two separate forms:
– Contact Us for general enquiries (name, email, message, plus captcha/anti-spam).
– Careers for candidates. I need standard fields and the ability to expand later; feel free to suggest best-practice inputs and any lightweight way to handle file uploads if that’s advisable.
• A design language that clearly fits the “Modern” style—clean typography, generous white space, responsive layout, and fast loading.
• Basic pages such as About, Blog archive, and privacy/legal can sit behind the main navigation.

I will supply copy and images; you handle layout, theme setup, basic on-page SEO, and form routing to my email. Once the site is live I’d like a quick walk-through so I can confidently publish our weekly posts.

Please outline your proposed stack, any premium plugins or templates you recommend, and an estimated timeline to first draft and go-live.
