I’m looking for a web developer who can build a clean, easy-to-manage blog. The core requirements are straightforward: • Set up a standard blogging platform (WordPress, Ghost, or a comparable CMS) • Implement a functional comment section so readers can discuss each post • Configure the back-end so I can add, edit, and schedule articles without touching code The overall look should be minimal: clear typography, responsive layout, and logical navigation. While the only mandatory feature today is the comment section, I’d like the underlying structure to remain flexible enough to add social-media sharing buttons or an email subscription module later on. Deliverables: 1. Fully deployed blog on my hosting or a clean hand-off package ready for upload 2. Admin credentials and a short video or written guide showing how to publish new posts and moderate comments 3. Basic on-page SEO setup (titles, meta-descriptions, and clean URL slugs) If you have recent examples of lightweight blog sites you’ve built, please share a link.
