WordPress Wellness Site Refinement (Gutenberg & WooCommerce)

PROJECT OVERVIEW
I am seeking an experienced WordPress specialist for refinement and launch preparation of an existing wellness/lifestyle website hosted on GoDaddy Managed WordPress.

This is NOT a rushed redesign or uncontrolled rebuild project.

The existing site structure, WooCommerce setup, pages, content, and overall direction are already established. The goal is thoughtful refinement, visual cohesion, launch readiness, maintainability, and controlled improvement within the existing WordPress environment.

All work must be completed inside my current WordPress installation.

I am not looking for external systems, new platforms, or a full rebuild unless there is a clear, evidence-based reason.

I am open to modern WordPress workflows beyond Elementor, including:

Gutenberg / Block Editor
Block Themes / Full Site Editing (FSE)
GenerateBlocks
Kadence
WooCommerce-native layouts
Light custom CSS where appropriate
The priority is calm, elegant, wellness-style presentation, visual cohesion, and launch readiness—not flashy redesign.

REFINEMENT GOALS
Typography consistency and readability
Spacing rhythm and visual flow
Calm, minimal, wellness-oriented styling
Mobile responsiveness refinement
WooCommerce and Juice Book presentation polish
Removal of unnecessary imagery and clutter
Header/footer refinement and consistency
Preserve existing WooCommerce and PayPal functionality
Maintainability and owner control
Content consistency and overall visual cohesion
IMPORTANT BOUNDARIES
No rebuild unless clearly justified
No new theme forced on me
No unnecessary plugins
Preserve existing working systems
Maintain owner control and long-term stability
SCOPE & BUDGET REVIEW
Please review the project description carefully before submitting a proposal.

The website requires refinement across typography, spacing, mobile responsiveness, WooCommerce presentation, content consistency, and overall visual cohesion.

Any questions, concerns, assumptions, pricing concerns, scope concerns, workload concerns, or timeline concerns should be raised before project award, milestone funding, contract execution, onboarding, or website access.

REQUIRED TECHNICAL TRANSPARENCY
To ensure a good fit and avoid wasting your time or mine, please provide clear, specific answers to the questions below.

General "Yes, I can do that" answers are not helpful.
