Hey, I am Australian web developer. I work full time out of an office in Brisbane. My bid is higher than others, but I am going to do the job well, not just quickly.
I am a hosting reseller, so I can set you up with hosting and a domain name easily and cheaply, plus I will manage it for you.
My bid might change depending on your WIX site, as I will need to recode it from the ground up. I will create a Wordpress site that is similar to your current site, with the additions of an index (listing) page for your recipes and blog slider (that shows recently posted blogs). It will have a responsive design so that it will work on mobile devices.
I will use a popular SEO plugin that lets you evaluate the SEO of your pages easily and effectively. As SEO depends a lot on the page content, it will be up to you to manage the SEO of each page/blog post.
