Build Versatile Blog Website

I need a programmer to create a full-featured website focused on content sharing. The site’s core is a modern blog where I can regularly publish articles, showcase photo galleries, and embed or host multimedia such as videos and podcasts.

Key requirements
• Clean, responsive front-end that looks great on desktop and mobile
• Intuitive CMS/dashboard so I can add new posts, images, and media without touching code
• Logical content categories and tags for easy navigation and SEO
• Fast page loads and solid security practices (HTTPS, backups, spam protection)
• Basic analytics integration so I can track readership and engagement

Preferred stack is flexible; common choices like WordPress, Laravel, or a headless CMS with React are welcome—just outline why your approach fits best.

Deliverables
1. Live, fully configured website on my hosting or a recommended provider
2. Administrator credentials and step-by-step guide for posting articles, uploading photos, and adding videos/podcasts
3. One brief hand-off session to walk me through the workflow and answer initial questions
