Website Design

Website Design covers the visual and structural choices that shape how a site looks and feels to use — layout planning, colour and font choices, hero section design, call-to-action placement, whitespace, readability, featured image handling, sidebar decisions, and the smaller details that make a site feel deliberate rather than thrown together.

None of this needs a design background. Most of it really comes down to clarity and structure: what goes where, how much room separates each element, and what a visitor notices first. The articles cover principles that apply broadly, alongside the specific steps for putting them into practice in WordPress, whether the site’s built with a page builder or directly in the block editor.

This category also covers the more hands-on design tasks — building a style guide, sketching a wireframe before committing to a layout, developing a consistent look without a big budget, and designing for mobile screens from the start rather than patching it in afterwards.
