WordPress Website Redesign & Migration – Nutritionist Professional Website

I am looking for an experienced WordPress developer to completely rebuild my professional website:

www.assuntasiani.com

The current website is an old website built with SilverStripe CMS and hosted on a GoDaddy VPS/cPanel environment.

I would like to create a new, modern, professional WordPress website from scratch, with a clean and premium design suitable for a Nutritionist / Nutrition & Health professional.

I do not need to preserve the current design. I want to start fresh, while keeping the domain and important existing functionality.

What I need
Build a completely new website using WordPress
Modern, elegant and professional design
Fully responsive and mobile-friendly
Easy for me to update after completion
SEO-friendly structure
Fast-loading and technically optimised
HTTPS/SSL correctly configured
Contact forms
Online consultation / appointment call-to-action
Blog section
Professional service pages
About Me page
Integration of social media where appropriate
Google Analytics / Search Console setup if required
Basic on-page SEO
GDPR/cookie considerations for a UK/EU-facing professional website
Suggested website structure

The new website will likely include:

Home
About Me
Consultations / Services
Areas of Expertise
My Approach
Blog / Resources
Contact
Book a Consultation

I will provide the content, images and professional information.

IMPORTANT – Hosting & Migration

The current website is live and hosted on a GoDaddy VPS with cPanel.

The domain assuntasiani.com is currently managed through GoDaddy.

I also have existing email services associated with the domain.

Therefore, the existing website and email service must NOT be interrupted or deleted during the development process.

I need the developer to:

Assess the current hosting/cPanel setup.
Create a safe development/staging environment.
Install and configure WordPress.
Build the new website without affecting the current live website.
Advise me on whether it is better to remain with GoDaddy or migrate to a more cost-effective hosting provider.
If migration is recommended, handle the technical migration safely.
Preserve the domain and email functionality.
Configure DNS, SSL and redirects correctly when the new website goes live.
Perform final testing before switching the live website.
Ensure that important existing URLs are redirected appropriately to avoid unnecessary SEO losses.
Current technical environment
Domain: assuntasiani.com
Current CMS: SilverStripe
Current hosting: GoDaddy VPS / cPanel
New CMS: WordPress
I have access to the GoDaddy account and cPanel.
