Our WordPress Web Design Process

At Podium Design, we understand that having a great-looking website is essential to the success of any business. That’s why our team of WordPress specialists in East Sussex follow an efficient 5-step web design process when creating a website for our clients.

1

Consultation

Our consultation is normally either in person or over Zoom / Teams, this allows us to find out some more information about your business and what you’re looking to achieve with a new WordPress website, or would like to change with your current one.
2

Planning and Website Design

Once we have a good idea of what you're looking for, we will start to work on the wireframe to decide how the structure of the site will be, along with the design of the website using Figma or Photoshop, this will then give you a good idea of what the website will look like. If you are looking to use any plugins or tools, we can then see how these would look on the designs too.
3

Website Development

Now that we have planned and designed the website, our developers will begin to build out the structure of your site using WordPress 99% of the time along with any CSS, HTML or Javascrpit that is needed. We also ensure that each website is mobile-friendly and optimized for search engine visibility.
4

Testing and Quality Assurance

Once we have built the WordPress website, we will then check the functionality of the site to make sure everything is working as expected, this includes checking the site across mobile, tablet and desktop, as well as ensuring any plugins and contact forms work as they should do.
5

Launch and ongoing support

The final step in our process is launching and supporting your new WordPress website. This includes making sure all necessary changes are made before launch and providing ongoing support should you need it with any issues or requests you may have in terms of design or features. We also provide top-level hosting services for your website if needed as part of our service if you require it.

What's the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?

WordPress.org (self-hosted WordPress) is the professional version we use for all our Brighton business clients. It gives you complete control over your website, unlimited customisation options, and the ability to install any plugins or themes. WordPress.com is a hosted service with limitations on design, plugins, and functionality. We always recommend WordPress.org for businesses as it provides the flexibility and professional features you need to grow your online presence.

Can you convert my existing website to WordPress?

Yes, we specialise in WordPress migrations and can safely transfer your existing website on platforms such as WIX or Squarespace to WordPress while preserving your content, SEO rankings, and functionality. Our migration process includes content transfer, design recreation or improvement, URL structure preservation, and thorough testing. We handle everything from simple HTML sites to complex CMS migrations, ensuring your Brighton business experiences no downtime or loss of search engine visibility during the transition.

Will I lose my Google rankings if I switch to WordPress?

No, when done correctly, switching to WordPress often improves your Google rankings. We follow strict SEO migration protocols including URL redirects, meta tag preservation, site structure optimisation, and search engine notification. WordPress is actually preferred by search engines due to its clean code and SEO-friendly structure. Many of our Brighton clients see improved rankings within weeks of their WordPress launch due to better site performance and SEO optimisation.

How long does a WordPress website take to build?

Most WordPress projects take 2-6 weeks depending on complexity and requirements. A basic business WordPress site typically takes 2-3 weeks, while custom WordPress solutions with advanced functionality may take 4-6 weeks. This includes planning, custom design, development, content integration, and testing. We provide clear timelines during our initial consultation and keep you updated throughout the process. Rush projects can often be accommodated with advance notice.

Can I add an online shop to my WordPress website later?

Absolutely! WordPress makes it easy to add ecommerce functionality using WooCommerce, the world’s most popular ecommerce platform. We can integrate a full online shop into your existing WordPress website, complete with product catalogs, shopping cart, payment processing, and inventory management. This scalability is one of the major advantages of choosing WordPress – your website can grow with your Brighton business without needing a complete rebuild.

Do you build custom WordPress plugins?

Yes, we develop custom WordPress plugins when your business has unique requirements that can’t be met by existing plugins. This might include custom booking systems, specialised contact forms, integration with third-party services, or unique functionality specific to your industry. Custom plugins ensure your website has exactly the features you need while maintaining optimal performance and security.

Do you provide WordPress SEO services?

Yes, we include basic SEO optimisation with every WordPress website and offer advanced SEO services for ongoing optimisation. Our WordPress SEO includes proper site structure, SEO-friendly URLs, meta tags, image optimisation, site speed optimisation, and mobile responsiveness. We can also provide ongoing SEO services including keyword research, content optimisation, and local SEO to help your Brighton business rank higher in Google.
