Modern WordPress ARTIST Website

I need a full WordPress build that presents my artist portfolio online with a modern aesthetic. The site should look as a professional artist website with ease of use on desktop and mobile alike.

What I expect you to handle:
• WordPress installation and configuration on my hosting
• A clean, fast-loading theme (custom or properly customised child theme) that reflects a modern, minimalist look
• Page structure and layouts ready for typical artist website including gallery, about page etc and possibly an online shop in next phase
• Basic on-page SEO setup, performance optimisations, and security hardening
• Final hand-off that lets me update text and images myself via the WordPress dashboard

You’re welcome to recommend plugins that keep maintenance simple and the admin area uncluttered. Design mock-ups or live prototypes along the way will help us stay aligned on style before development is locked in. Once everything is approved, I’ll need the finished site migrated to my live domain and a quick walkthrough so I can manage future edits confidently.

If this scope fits your skill set, tell me how you’d approach the build and roughly how long you’ll need from kick-off to launch.
