Step-by-Step Guides to Building and Growing Your Website
Website Design covers the visual and structural choices that shape how a site looks and feels — layout, colour and fonts, hero sections, calls to action, and accessibility.
None of this needs a design background. It mostly comes down to clarity and structure — what goes where, and what a visitor notices first — plus the more hands-on tasks: style guides, wireframes, and designing for mobile from the start.
A missing logo and blank browser tab icon make any WordPress site look unfinished. This guide shows you how to create a simple logo and favicon using Canva, what sizes you need, and exactly where to upload them in WordPress.
Learn how to design clear website calls to action in WordPress. Improve clicks with better button text, placement, colour contrast, and page flow.
Learn how to choose website images and visuals for a new WordPress site. Covers visual style, image sources, compression, alt text, and common mistakes to avoid.
