New Portfolio WordPress Setup

I already have the domain pointed to an active hosting account and simply need WordPress installed so I can begin building a portfolio site. The job is to perform a clean installation, connect it to the database, make sure SSL is properly enabled, and hand over login details. A lightweight, portfolio-friendly theme plus a couple of essential plugins (security, caching, image optimisation) would be a welcome bonus, but keep everything minimal so I can take it from there.

To make expectations crystal-clear, here’s what I need from you:
• Install the latest WordPress core on my server and confirm it loads over HTTPS.
• Create the admin user and provide credentials securely.
• Apply a free, modern portfolio theme (your recommendation is fine) and import any starter content that shows off the layout.
• Note any plugins or settings you touch so I can maintain the site later.

If you’re comfortable with cPanel (or similar) and routine WordPress hardening practices, this should be a quick, straightforward task.
