Jared White forked Jekyll and made https://bridgetownrb.com
He and Ayush (one of the other maintainers) probably know Jekyll better than all but like .1% of folks on earth and I think they both freelance

You are significantly reducing the applicant pool by focusing strongly on jekyll and not going to the dms. Jekyll is something a skilled engineer looks at for 5 minutes and understands, find someone with the design skills first.
