What does WordPress website design involve?

The website is currently the best showcase you can present to your client, and over 60% of websites are based on the WordPress CMS. A CMS, or Content Management System, is a content management system that allows you to edit, add, and remove texts and images.

The WordPress system thus forms the foundation for the operation of a website. WordPress is valued for its functionality, clarity, and low costs – an appropriate base of expert knowledge allows you to create a website independently. So, what does WordPress website design involve? You will read about it in our article.

Advantages of WordPress Websites

As we have already mentioned, over 60% of websites are based on WordPress. It is easy to see that since this system is so popular, it must have many advantages. One of the main ones is ease of use. WordPress does not require knowledge of PHP or HTML, and most actions rely on the use of plugins and templates. There are several thousand plugins available on the site, most of which are offered free of charge. The same goes for templates – a huge number of templates are available for free, and paid ones offering more advanced solutions and features are often offered at affordable prices. WordPress has an extremely extensive, friendly community worldwide. If you know English, you will easily find support on the forum. For Polish users, technical support is available at: pl.wordpress.org.

Creating a Website in WordPress

The process of creating a website based on WordPress is very fast because you do not design everything from scratch but use ready-made templates. The work begins with choosing a theme, which is a ready-made version of the site with a set design, structure, and functions. Before purchase, you can view and test the template, but it should be noted that it is not possible to check its technical limitations, which would immediately inform you of what modifications cannot be made in the future. There is also the option to create a custom theme – this is a time-consuming solution requiring the help of a specialist, but it allows every element to be tailored to the needs of the client.

After choosing the theme, it is implemented on the server. Once launched, it can be filled with necessary content – texts, graphics, multimedia. After this stage, testing, adjustments, and minor code corrections take place. The website is optimized for mobile device performance, and its functionality and speed are thoroughly checked. Uploading the site to the server and making it public completes the work on the website. 

A website based on WordPress is an excellent solution for those who do not want to allocate a large budget for the project and prioritize simple content management. Adding posts or products is intuitive enough that the client can successfully make updates independently. A WordPress-based website works well for blogs, small businesses, or smaller online stores.
