Summary

We are looking for a talented WordPress developer (or designer-developer) to create a custom WordPress theme for a travel blog dedicated to helping tourists plan their trip to Sri Lanka. Our current theme is no longer meeting our expectations, and we want a fresh, professional, and unique identity. Design & Vibe: The aesthetic of the blog needs to be completely reimagined. We want something: Soft & Pastel: Think warm, soft sandy tones, light tropical greens, and gentle ocean blues. A calming and inviting palette. Simple & Professional: Minimalist layouts, generous white space, and elegant typography that makes long-form travel guides and itineraries very easy to read. Trustworthy: It should look like an expert travel resource, not just a casual personal diary. Key Features Required: Speed & Mobile Optimization: Critical. Many readers access the site while traveling in Sri Lanka on mobile networks. The theme must be ultra-lightweight. Clean Layouts: Beautiful typography for long-read articles, clean structures for travel itineraries, and seamless integration for high-quality photos. FSE / Block-Based Preferred: Modern architecture (Gutenberg blocks) or a highly customized child theme based on a solid framework (like Astra/GeneratePress). 📌 Selection Process (Important): To help us make our choice, visual previews are greatly appreciated and will be prioritized. Please include links to live websites you have designed with a similar soft/minimalist aesthetic. Or attach image previews / mockups / screenshots of UI designs that match the pastel and professional travel vibe we are looking for. Deliverables: A fully functional, responsive WordPress theme (or perfectly customized child theme). Basic documentation or a short video walkthrough on how to manage the custom layout elements. If you have a passion for travel and clean design, we’d love to work with you! Please include the word "Ayubowan" at the top of your proposal so we know you read the full description.
