Blog Website Template Design

I’m giving my blog a complete visual overhaul and need a custom-built website template to serve as its new foundation. The job is purely design-and-front-end focused—no back-end work is required right now—so you’ll be creating a clean, responsive layout that I can later integrate into my preferred CMS.

What I’m after
• A cohesive set of page layouts: homepage with post feed, single-article view, category/archive, and a simple static page (e.g., About).
• Mobile-first, cross-browser styling using semantic HTML5 and modern CSS (Flexbox or Grid). Lightweight JavaScript only where it genuinely improves UX.
• Performance and SEO in mind from the start: fast load times, well-structured headings, and sensible metadata.
• Accessibility basics covered (contrast, keyboard navigation, ARIA where appropriate).

Deliverables
1. Source design files (Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch—whichever you prefer).
2. Production-ready HTML, CSS, and any accompanying JS files, clearly commented and organised.
3. A brief hand-off note explaining file structure, reusable components, and how to extend the template.

If you have existing blog templates in your portfolio, links would help me understand your style. Looking forward to seeing what you can create for this project.
