Build me a clean, modern academic personal website with this starter.

I want it to feel polished and easy to maintain, with a homepage, about section, publications, projects, blog posts, news updates, teaching, and a CV style page. It should look great on desktop and mobile, support light and dark mode, and make it simple for me to swap in my own content, photo, links, and social profiles.

Please set it up so I can quickly edit the usual academic things like papers, books, talks, courses, and announcements without having to dig through the whole codebase. Keep the design simple and professional, like a strong personal site for a researcher or professor. If anything depends on current docs or best practices, look them up online and follow the recommended setup.
