Our current site is on the WIX platform. We want to redesign it using Wordpress. We are very open to graphic enhancements. Must be a responsive. Home page needs some sort of social feed aggregator that displays content posts from all our social networks.

The home page of the site should be built using a social aggregator add-in similar to what is running on the live site.
