WordPress Website Revamp – Personal Portfolio Website

Project Overview

I am looking for an experienced WordPress developer to revamp my existing personal portfolio website.
The website is currently built on WordPress and is live. The objective is to create a modern, clean, responsive website that reflects my professional portfolio and is easy to maintain and update over time.

I already have a wireframe, page structure, content direction, and key design elements in mind. The final design is not fixed, and I welcome practical suggestions to improve the overall look and user experience without significantly changing the original direction.

Scope of Work
• Revamp the existing WordPress website based on the agreed direction.
• Back up the existing website before making any changes.
• Reuse selected portfolio items, downloadable resources, images, and content where appropriate.
• Remove outdated content and pages.
• Create a responsive website that works well across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
• Configure a secure contact form with spam protection.
• Apply basic on-page SEO best practices.
• Create a portfolio section that makes it easy to add, edit, and manage new portfolio projects in the future while maintaining consistent image quality and presentation.
• Create a resources/downloads section that is equally easy to maintain and expand over time.
• The website will consist of a small number of core pages (e.g., Home, About, Portfolio, Resources, Contact). Portfolio projects and downloadable resources should be implemented using reusable templates or a dynamic structure where appropriate and should not be treated or priced as individual pages.
• Keep the implementation clean, lightweight, and easy to maintain so I can independently update portfolio items, images, downloadable resources, and website content without requiring developer assistance.

Development Approach
• Build the new website in a development/staging environment while keeping the existing website live.
• Share progress periodically for review.
• Incorporate feedback and revisions where necessary to achieve the expected outcome.
• Publish the new website only after final approval.

Hosting
The website is currently hosted on WordPress hosting.
Hosting migration is not part of the current scope. If you believe changing hosting would provide significant benefits, you are welcome to mention it separately.

Deliverables
• Fully functional WordPress website.
• Backup of the existing website.
• Production-ready website after approval.
• Step-by-step guide (PDF or Word) explaining how to:
◦ Add and manage portfolio items.
◦ Update images.
◦ Edit text and pages.
◦ Upload downloadable resources.
• One knowledge transfer session (video call) to explain website administration and answer questions.
• Administrator credentials and a list of plugins used.
