Hi there,
I'd be happy to work with you on revamping your client's website - we can definitely build something that is both secure and easy for the client to manage. WordPress can be used in this case and it will be safe from attacks - but we can use another platform if needed. Happy to discuss more options once we talk details.
I always enjoy revamping old sites and have no problem if I'm not visibly credited in the footer. I'm currently re-watching Game of Thrones, and my favorite part of a site is the footer - when done right, an interesting design can be like a little cherry on top, though of course, there are other, more important parts in terms of both user experience and the function of the site.
I know you're looking for someone based in the US, but I'm in Canada and fluent in English, having completed my degree here. I am in Toronto (Eastern Time), so I hope we can collaborate anyway - I check my emails regularly and can work flexible hours if needed.
This is my first time joining freelancer.com, but I bring many years of expertise and experience. While I work to rack up some good reviews on here, I invite you to view my portfolio and sample projects on my company's website: toronto-web-design.ca. We work closely with our clients to achieve the best results, and are always available by phone or email: 647-695-5200 or info at toronto-web-design.ca.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Andrei Aristov
