    Hi, I am a Squarespace web designer and am currently building a site for a customer. Originally I made the home page design which he approved in squarespace as usual, although for a specific reason Squarespace wont be adequate for the sites needs. This is a size/ price calculator, which squarespace cant do as there and no plug ins/ apps.

    So, I started a wordpress account to try and replicate what I had already built. After a painstaking few days of trying to learn wordpress, I havent been able to get to grips with it and am having a very difficult time attempting to rebuild the homepage.
    I can not work out weather to use a “page builder” or not, what theme to use or weather to start from blank and the overall design aspect is different to what im familiar with.

    If somebody who is experience with WordPress could give me a hand, Ideally somebody who can hop in a screen share call and talk me though getting started, If you require an hourly rate that is okay.

    The site I am rebuilding is this https://madetomeasure.squarespace.com/
    Password: Chameleon

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    For this site, I would recommend selecting a similar-looking theme that supports Site Editing, this would allow you to edit the page templates directly so you can get the site as close to the original design as possible. You can find Site Editor compatible themes here.
