Project description:
"I have a fresh Hostinger account with SSL already active and I’d like a lightweight WordPress site put in place using the free “Author” theme exactly as it ships from WordPress .org. Everything needs to stay minimalist—Gutenberg only, zero demo imports, and no extra plugins besides the absolute minimum required to get a simple Name / Email / Message contact form working and sending.

Here’s the full scope:

• Install WordPress on my Hostinger domain, confirm SSL is functioning, and remove any default clutter.
• Activate the Author theme without custom child themes or heavy modifications.
• Create four core pages—Home, About Us, Contact, and Privacy Policy—using the copy I will supply.
• Ensure the blog section relies on the native posts archive provided by the theme.
• Build a clean, functional contact form directly in Gutenberg (or with a single lightweight solution) and verify email delivery.
• Set up menus and a footer that simply list the four pages so navigation stays straightforward on desktop and mobile.
• Run a final pass to confirm the entire install meets the minimalist brief: fast loading, no unused plugins, no third-party page builders, and no external integrations.

Acceptance criteria
– Site loads on Hostinger under HTTPS with no mixed-content warnings
– Pages display my provided text exactly as supplied
– Contact form sends to the address I specify and surfaces a success message on submit
– Menu and footer links mirror the page list and work on mobile
– No additional plugins or demo content are present beyond what is strictly required for the form

Once everything checks out, just send me the WordPress admin credentials and I’ll take it from there." (client-provided description)
