Content Blog Website With Comments

I need a clean, responsive website for my new blog, Blacklikes. The entire focus is on publishing articles, so the build should prioritise readability, fast loading times, and a straightforward workflow for posting and editing content. A built-in comment section is essential; readers must be able to leave feedback under each article, and I need the usual moderation tools to approve, hide, or delete comments from the admin area.

A simple CMS such as WordPress, Ghost, or a lightweight custom solution is fine—as long as I can quickly create, categorise, and tag posts without touching code. While social media integration could come later, for this first phase I’m only after the core blog and its commenting functionality.

Please deliver:
• A fully deployed, mobile-friendly blog under the Blacklikes name
• An intuitive admin dashboard for managing posts and moderating comments
• Basic branding applied (logo, colour palette, font pairing)
• Clear hand-over notes so I can maintain and extend the site on my own

If you have experience optimising blogs for SEO and performance, that’s a plus, but the key metric is a smooth reading and commenting experience.
