  Hi there,

  Generally speaking, to convert your site from a ‘blog’ to a traditional ‘website’ can be as simple as setting up a traditional homepage. What makes your site a blog is that blog posts are your homepage so to speak. You can see how to do that here: https://wordpress.com/support/pages/front-page/

  However, there are also themes that we offer that lend themselves to one kind of site or another. For example your current theme lends itself well to blogging, but we have other themes here that are better suited for a traditional website: https://wordpress.com/support/pages/front-page/

  You can see as you look at themes there, some theme demos show a traditional homepage (instead of a homepage that shows blog posts) and I recommend any of those as a starting point: https://wordpress.com/themes

  Out of curiosity, do you happen to have any sites (does not have to be WordPress) that you are drawing inspiration from or trying to emulate? It may help us to steer you toward a theme that is a better fit for your goals.

  Thanks for the additional info!
