Responsive Website Development: Html/Css or Wordpress for Small Business/Portfolio

I am seeking a skilled freelancer to develop a clean, fast, and responsive website. The primary goal is to create a minimal layout that is optimized for performance across all modern devices, including desktops, tablets, and mobile phones. The project can be built using either custom html/css for maximum control and lightweight performance, or leveraging wordpress for ease of content management and future scalability. This website is intended for a small business or a personal portfolio, requiring a professional and user-friendly online presence. The chosen solution must be easy to manage and maintain post-launch.
