Wanted! Ideas & suggestions to improve this blog-cum-website of ours

Amidst this ongoing 'Work-from-Home' scenario during this dreary situation of #Covid19 or #CoronoVirusEpidemic the editorial desk here at BRICKS-n-MORTAR is seeking crowdsourced ideas and suggestions from its patrons and readers.

Brainstorming worthy points being:

1) What is the easiest, simplest, cleanest and of course FREE of cost platform to rechristen our blog/website into a neat & tech-savvy outlook?

2) We had shaped this domain as a non-profit, happy-go-lucky-hobby-blog on Google's Blogspot platform (which it is still continuing on) as we found this simpler than Wordpress being novices in web technologies and allied stuff. We were a couple of young professionals from the fields of civil engineering and architecture, who wanted to share our field know-how and subject knowledge with the normal junta who had 'how-to-do' and 'which/why/what' kind of queries about their homes and offices, etc.

3) Over a period of a decade of its existence, the blog adopted a handful of freely available Blogger HTML scripts, which were amateurishly (but relatively artistically) customized in look and feel. Being novices, all the cumulative customizations and adhoc HTML code additions till date have resulted in a relatively messed up CSS besides other unknown glitches, which result in increased page loading time and what not! Time to clean up, as Google Analytics tool suggests!

4) We ventured into a separate small scale eCommerce vertical too, which during course of time, perished largely due to lack of time (and interest of ours). We wish to integrate an eCommerce sub-domain into this primary domain of ours, if it be technically possible; and subject to it being not incurring huge capital investment in setting it up for sure (We are non-profit hobby guys after all!)

5) Team #bricksNmortar still yearn to write meaningful and less commercial articles and posts for our readers. Accordingly, the main landing portion of the upgraded website (or the first fold of it) must cater to the blogposts and articles.

Should any of our readers and patrons can help/assist us to attain our aforementioned year 2020 objectives, please feel free to pour-in your ideas and suggestions either in the comments section of this post, or simply email us. We would be thankful for the time and energy put into writing back to us. We may mutually discuss to compensate your efforts in terms of advertisement placement of yours on our Page(s), if that makes sense (and money) to you :)

Hoping to hear back from many of you!
