Common WordPress features I include in web design layouts:
How it Works
Web design & WordPress web development projects are spread over 7 stages.
Research
Information is gathered on your services, products, company, goals and online competitors to gain a clear understanding of how to position your website to gain maximum exposure and conversions.
Wireframes
Sitemap and wireframes are created for desktop and mobiles web page templates based on the research gathered. A link to wireframes is email to you for discussion and revisions made to the wireframes before moving on to the web design phase.
Web Design
The design carries on from the wireframes by adding design elements including typography, colours, images, icons, and illustrations. Placeholder body text is typically used at this stage. A link is provided to you to view the designs for both desktop and mobile devices and provide feedback for design revisions.
Content Creation
Content including text and images for your services, products, company profile and blog is provided by clients or a copywriter based on the design layout and is then search engine optimised.
WordPress Development
Our frontend developer converts the website design into HTML before our WordPress developer integrates the code into a custom WordPress theme and installs the required WordPress plugins.
Content Population
The website is populated with text, resized images, videos, icons and illustrations whilst your website is optimised for crawling and indexing on search engines.
Testing & Launch
The website is tested cross bross compatibility, user experience issues and coding errors using site auditing software before uploading the website to a secure server.

Elements
Responsive Web Design
During the design phase, I create responsive wireframes & web design layouts for desktop, tablet and mobile phones using Adobe XD. These designs are linked to enable you to get a feel for the website before it is coded into WordPress.
This enable you to provide suggestion and feedback on the website designs and allows me to rapidly modify the design and present them on a website link that is emailed to you.
Once the web design layouts have been signed off, the website is developed in a single WordPress website installation. The columns, images, text, and elements are automatically resized and reordered for optimal display on desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
A mobile and tablet specific menu is created and the existing desktop menu and header is hidden. Any elements which aren’t required on the mobile device are also hidden.
Various image dimensions are created are the ideal size is automatically loaded for the device the website is being viewed on. This reduces the total page size in order to load the page quicker which is essential for Google rankings and website visitors interaction, especially on mobile devices.
