Steps to create a custom designed Wordpress website

Crafting a custom-designed WordPress website involves a meticulous process. Beginning with a needs assessment and establishing the sitemap, we then design wireframes for each screen, emphasizing layout and user flow. In the graphic design phase, we develop a cohesive concept, which we apply to each screen. The design is then translated into web pages in HTML/CSS, and adapted for responsiveness to fit every device including mobile. With the HTML prepared, we can now create of a custom WordPress theme and integrate functionalities, prioritizing coding standards, focusing on SEO optimization. Thorough testing ensures functionality and responsiveness, the website should be optimized for performance, caching and security measures are implemented. Transferring to a WordPress-optimized cloud infrastructure ensures scalability and reliability.
