Hi there. I'm just starting out in web development but have been working various other coding projects for quite sometime, including some prior dips into HTML/CSS prior.
Why I'm good for the job, I've already set up my own Wordpress blog. Worked with plugins and themes. Which covers everything you need. Including the ability to have separate featured entries. I'm dropping in at a low bid because setting this up isn't difficult or time consuming, although then any fine tuning you might want or need, I'm interested in building reviews as well as a chance to work with others on a project instead of just doodling this or that for myself where I don't have the same focus as doing a job for someone.
At this price point, I couldn't afford getting a paid theme or paying for domain or hosting, but I could certainly help walk though that if needed. I would however be happy to get ideas what exact type of themes that you like if you don't have a specific one and search for suggestions. Set up the site and fine tune anything you need done, as well as be available for two weeks of small updates/support if anything needs changing or your unsure how to do something.
Minor things certainly would be available after that if you have questions as well, just want to set some solids for terms of freelancer, getting paid and milestones.
