I’m looking for a skilled WordPress web designer to design and set up my Christian blog website so it’s fully ready to use and go public. The goal is to create a clean, simple, and user-friendly site that reflects faith-based encouragement and community. I want everything connected, functioning, and ready for me to start posting content once the setup is complete.
I will provide the descriptions, wording, and basic direction for each page, but I would like the designer to use some creative freedom when it comes to layout, styling, and some of the copywriting (I’ll review and make edits as needed).

• Install and configure essential plugins (SEO, security, backups, contact forms, etc.)
• Connect all links, forms, and navigation so the site is completely ready for launch
