WordPress Website Design and Development

I’m ready to get a new WordPress site online and need a professional who can take the project from blank slate to a polished, launch-ready site. I haven’t chosen a theme yet, so I’ll count on your suggestions and guidance.

Here’s what I’d like done:
• Recommend two or three responsive, budget-friendly themes and explain why they fit my goals.
• Install WordPress on my existing hosting (cPanel access provided).
• Configure the selected theme and build up to five standard pages (Home, About, Services or Products, Blog, Contact).
• Add essential plugins for security, performance caching, SEO, and a contact form.
• Apply basic on-page SEO (titles, meta descriptions, permalinks) and ensure mobile responsiveness.
• Supply a short handover guide so I can update text and images on my own.

Keep the setup lightweight, clean, and easy for me to maintain. If you’ve got ideas that will make the site faster or more user-friendly without driving up costs, I’m all ears.
