Design-Led Web Designer/Developer for Editorial Content Website

I’m looking for a design-forward freelancer or small studio to create a clean, modern, content-driven website for an education-first brand. The site should feel trustworthy, calm, premium, and medically grounded without feeling overly clinical. I need support with website design and development, including site structure, UX, visual direction, and a CMS/article setup that makes ongoing publishing easy. Phase 1 will likely include a homepage, about page, contact page, core educational pillar pages, and article/content templates. Strong mobile design, typography, readability, and clean information architecture are important. The overall goal is to create a polished first version of the site that establishes credibility and provides a strong foundation for future content growth. Please share examples of relevant content-driven or editorial-style websites you’ve designed and built, along with your typical process, timing, and budget range.
