WordPress FSE Designer/Developer for Editorial Blog Customization

We’re looking for a WordPress designer/developer with strong design sensibility to help finalize and customize an editorial-style blog built with a Full Site Editing (FSE) / block-based theme.

The site is already set up and all content/images have been migrated. The primary work now is refining the design, templates, layout, typography, and overall user experience.

Scope includes:

• Customizing homepage, blog post templates, and search/results pages
• Refining typography, spacing, visual hierarchy, and navigation
• Adapting the existing theme to match a more polished editorial/lifestyle aesthetic
• Supporting short-form video embeds within posts (1–3 minute videos)
• Minor CSS adjustments (minimal JS if needed)

Style inspiration:

• https://www.allsortsof.com/

Important:

This is not a “build from mockup” project. We’re looking for someone with both technical WordPress knowledge and strong visual/design judgment who is comfortable working through iterative feedback and collaborative refinement.

Ideal candidate:

• Strong experience with WordPress FSE/block themes
• Strong editorial/blog design sensibility
• Comfortable designing directly within WordPress
• Excellent English communication
• Experience with modern lifestyle/editorial websites

Please send:

• Examples of blog/editorial work
• Examples where you handled both design + implementation
• Confirmation of FSE/block theme experience
