Classic WordPress Blog Build & Training

I need a fully functional WordPress blog set up from scratch with a timeless, classic look—think elegant typography, balanced white space, and a layout that feels familiar to long-time readers. You’re free to pick the specific theme or child-theme that best achieves that feel; premium themes are fine as long as they are well-supported and easy to maintain.

Once the site is live, I want to feel completely comfortable running it myself. That means a clear walkthrough of every moving part: how to swap out logos and colours, add or remove pages, manage posts and categories, tweak menus and widgets, and update any plugins you install. Screenshare or recorded video is fine; written notes in a shared doc would be a bonus.

Key Deliverables
• WordPress installed and configured on my hosting (I’ll provide access).
• Classic-styled theme customised with my brand colours and fonts.
• Core pages set up (Home, About, Blog, Contact).
• Responsive design tested on mobile and tablet.
• Basic security and backup settings in place.
• 60–90-minute live walkthrough (or equivalent recorded video) plus concise reference notes.

If you have preferred SEO, analytics, or contact-form plugins that fit a classic blog, propose them; I’m open to best-practice suggestions.
