Website Redevelopment Using Claude & Educational Assistance

I am looking for an experienced web developer/designer to completely rebuild my existing company website using Claude while also teaching me how it was built so I can maintain and update it myself in the future.

Current website:
Beaverpumice.com

Project Goals

* Rebuild the website with a modern, professional, and clean design.
* Keep the existing content where appropriate, but improve the overall layout, navigation, and user experience.
* Ensure the website is fully responsive (desktop, tablet, and mobile).
* Improve page speed and SEO best practices.
* Make it easy for me to edit text, images, products, and pages without needing a developer.
* Keep the contact forms working properly.
* Recommend the best platform (WordPress, Webflow, or another CMS) and explain why.

Training Requirement

This is very important.

I don't just want a finished website—I want to learn how it was built.

Please be willing to:

* Record short Loom or screen-share videos explaining each major step.
* Walk me through the project during a few video calls.
* Show me how to:

* Edit pages
* Add images
* Create new pages
* Update products/services
* Manage forms
* Perform backups
* Update plugins or software
* Handle basic SEO
* Provide documentation or a simple guide after the project is complete.

What I'm Looking For

* Strong portfolio of modern business websites.
* Experience with responsive design, SEO, and performance optimization.
* Good communication skills.
* Fluent English.
* Someone who enjoys teaching, not just delivering a finished product.

When You Apply

Please include:

1. Links to similar websites you've built.
2. Which platform you recommend and why.
3. How you would teach me during the project.
4. Your estimated timeline.
5. Your fixed-price quote.

My goal is to end this project with a great new website and the confidence to manage and update it myself going forward.
