Experienced Wordpress Developer for New Responsive Website Project

We are seeking an experienced WordPress developer to build a brand-new website. The ideal candidate will provide expert guidance on shaping the site to ensure it is clean, fast, and easy to update for future content management. The required platform for this project is WordPress. The domain and hosting are already secured and ready for development.

Key aspects open for discussion and requiring your professional recommendation include:
- Overall site layout and structure.
- Theme selection (whether to use a custom-built theme or a premium off-the-shelf solution).
- Integration of additional features such as a contact form, blog functionality, or e-commerce capabilities.

The primary deliverable for this project is a fully functional, responsive WordPress website. Upon completion, the site must be handed over with all necessary login details and brief, clear instructions for basic content updates.
