Simple WordPress Blog Build

I want to launch a clean, well-structured WordPress blog and need someone to handle the setup from start to finish. The two must-have features are social media sharing buttons on every post and a reliable site-wide search bar so visitors can quickly find content.

I’m flexible on the look and feel—there’s no predefined theme or design in mind—so you’re welcome to suggest a reputable free or premium theme or even start from a lightweight framework and customise it.

Deliverables
• WordPress installed and configured on my hosting
• Responsive theme installed, branded with my colours/logo
• Social sharing buttons (Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) embedded in posts
• Prominent search functionality that scans all posts and pages
• Essential plugins set up (security, backups, basic SEO)
• Brief hand-over notes so I can add future posts myself

Please factor in cross-browser testing, mobile responsiveness, and fast load times. Once complete, I’ll test everything and request any final tweaks before sign-off.
