WordPress Installation & Admin Setup

I’m starting fresh and need someone to take me from zero to a fully functional WordPress dashboard. WordPress is not yet installed on my server, so your first task will be a clean installation of the latest stable release, including database creation, SSL activation (if available through the host), and any essential hardening you normally apply for security.

I already have a hosting company in mind and will hand over the control-panel credentials as soon as we agree on the job. If you run into any limitations with that provider, just flag them early so we can adjust before work begins.

Once WordPress is live, please:

• Create a dedicated administrator account for me and remove any default demo content.
• Configure core settings—permalinks, time zone, language, and automatic updates.
• Install a lightweight starter theme (or the default Twenty-Series theme) so I have a blank canvas.
• Add a handful of must-have plugins: security, caching, backups, and SEO (your usual trusted stack is fine—just keep the site lean).
• Supply a brief hand-off note or screen-share video showing me where everything lives.

Acceptance criteria: WordPress login works with my admin credentials, core pages load without errors, and backup + security plugins are activated. When those boxes are ticked, the project is complete.

Looking forward to getting started right away.
