I help startups and businesses bring their Figma designs to life as fast, scalable, and fully manageable WordPress websites.
Each project begins with your existing design system and transforms into a custom-built WordPress theme that maintains design precision, high performance, and long-term flexibility, crafted for real business needs, not just visual appeal.
“Bringing a design to life is more than just coding; it’s about preserving the integrity of your vision and making it shine on the web.”
From Figma design to a fully responsive WordPress website. pixel-perfect, fast, and built with Tailwind CSS.
The Process – Figma Design to WordPress Theme
From design handoff to launch, my goal is to preserve the original design intent while building a high-performance, user-friendly, and easily maintained WordPress site. The process typically goes as follows:
1. Figma Handoff & Planning
I start by reviewing your Figma files in depth, analyzing layout grids, typography, spacing, and responsive breakpoints. Together, we define the technical scope to ensure a smooth design-to-code process.
2. Frontend Development with Tailwind CSS
I turn your Figma design system into clean, responsive code with Tailwind CSS for pixel-perfect results.
Using Tailwind CSS, I convert your design system directly into code. Every spacing value, color, and font from Figma becomes part of a consistent, responsive, and maintainable utility-based structure, ensuring pixel-perfect fidelity across devices.
Micro animations can be added as part of the process when needed, enhancing user interaction and bringing your design to life with smooth, lightweight motion effects.
It’s worth noting that I don’t rely on any external tools or Figma plugins when building your website. Every line of HTML and CSS is written from scratch, ensuring clean, lightweight code and optimal performance.
AI-Assisted Acceleration
Used strategically, AI lets me deliver faster and at lower cost without sacrificing quality.
AI is an essential part of my workflow. It assists me in planning and building efficient HTML structures, selecting proper Tailwind CSS classes, and ensuring the layout is fully consistent with the original Figma design.
By using AI as a creative development partner rather than an automation tool, I can speed up the build process, reduce costs for clients, and maintain the same high standards of custom quality, performance, and precision in every project.
3. Theme Architecture
The foundation of every project is a lightweight custom theme built entirely from scratch for performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
By avoiding bulky page builders and pre-made templates, I ensure that every line of code has a purpose, nothing unnecessary, nothing bloated. The result is a clean, modular WordPress site that’s fast, easy to update, and fully optimized for long-term performance.
4. WordPress Integration
I integrate the frontend into WordPress using custom post types, taxonomies, and ACF fields. This approach ensures that content management remains flexible while keeping the site perfectly aligned with your original design system.
Unlike typical page builders, my setup balances flexibility with design consistency, fast performance, and long-term reliability.
5. SEO & Ranking
If you already have an existing website, I ensure that every URL remains consistent and set up precise redirects wherever necessary. My priority is to preserve your existing SEO equity while improving your site’s overall visibility.
Using my technical SEO expertise, I handle the entire migration process carefully, from maintaining metadata and canonical tags to optimizing performance and Core Web Vitals.
I also review your internal linking structure, schema markup, and sitemap configuration to make sure search engines can crawl and index the new site efficiently.
The goal is to ensure that transitioning to a new design or website not only preserves your current rankings but enhances them, creating a strong foundation for long-term organic growth and marketing efforts.
6. Security & Reliability
I place strong emphasis on security throughout the entire development process. I harden WordPress by disabling unused features and applying additional measures to make the site more secure.
additional protections are configured at the server level to prevent attacks. Backups and regular updates are also implemented to ensure your website remains safe, stable, and reliable long after launch.
7. Testing & Launch
Before launch, I run comprehensive audits, including Core Web Vitals, performance tests, responsive checks, and cross-browser validation, to ensure a flawless final result across all devices and environments.
With extensive knowledge of servers, caching layers, and deployment workflows, I manage the entire go-live process smoothly and securely.
From configuring DNS and SSL to optimizing caching and CDNs, every step is handled with precision to minimize downtime and guarantee that your website launches fast, stable, and production-ready.
Collaboration & Communication
The work rarely ends at launch. After a website goes live, there are often new requests, design refinements, and marketing-driven adjustments that keep the project evolving.
I stay closely involved to make these updates efficiently, ensuring your site continues to grow and adapt to your business goals.
I collaborate seamlessly with design and marketing teams, maintaining clear communication, quick feedback loops, and smooth coordination throughout and beyond the launch phase.
We’ll work through your preferred tools such as Slack, Asana, Monday, WhatsApp, or email, with regular updates, fast feedback, and clear next steps to keep everything on track.
Clear communication between design, marketing, and development keeps projects aligned and progressing smoothly
