WordPress Blog Website Development

I’m setting up an information-focused blog and have chosen WordPress as the platform. The goal is a clean, fast and fully responsive website that stays “open” around the clock, ready for regular content updates without downtime or technical hassle.

Here’s what I need handled from end to end:

• WordPress installation on my hosting (or guidance if you prefer working on a staging server first)
• Theme selection or light custom design to match a modern blog aesthetic, including logo placement and color tweaks
• Core plugin stack configured for SEO, caching, security and backups
• Clearly organized categories, tags and menus so readers can navigate articles easily
• A few starter pages (About, Contact, Privacy) plus one sample post so I can follow the structure
• Mobile responsiveness tested across major browsers and devices
• Final walkthrough and concise instructions so I can publish new posts, update images and manage comments on my own

Once everything is live and stable, please deliver admin credentials and a brief hand-off guide (PDF or Google Doc is fine).
