Responsive IPL Fan Website

I’d like to launch a simple yet polished cricket-fan site focused on IPL news and updates. The core of the build is a clean, modern UI that loads quickly on mobile and desktop, with every page fully responsive.

Scope
• Home page that streams the latest IPL news and match updates.
• Dedicated pages for all ten franchises, each with team overview, current squad, fixtures, and a section to spotlight individual player profiles.
• Basic CMS or easy-to-edit backend so I can post articles without touching code.
• Two interactive elements: comment sections beneath articles and live chat rooms that open on match days. No other community tools are required right now.

Design & Tech Preferences
Material-style or similarly fresh design language, lightweight CSS/JS, and no heavy frameworks unless they speed development. WordPress with custom theme, React, or plain PHP/HTML are all fine so long as the admin area stays beginner-friendly.

Deliverables
- Fully responsive website, tested on major browsers and common phone sizes
- Ten team pages populated with placeholder text I can later replace
- Working comment system and match-day chat module
- Clear instructions (or a short loom/video) showing how to add news posts, update player data, and switch chat on/off
- Source files pushed to GitHub or zipped

Acceptance Criteria
The site must achieve sub-3-second load on 4G, validate with W3C, and show no console errors. Comments need basic moderation and captcha; chat should auto-clear after matches.

This is a beginner-scale, cost-conscious project, so clean, maintainable code and clear handover matter more than fancy extras. If you’ve built sports, news, or fan portals before, please share a link when you bid.
