Wordpress website design and development

I worked with Vita CA, a consultancy focused on clear, human-first advisory services, to design and build a website that balanced professionalism with approachability.
The requirement was to deliver a performant, SEO-friendly site while supporting WordPress as the client’s preferred CMS.
I designed the full experience in Figma, covering key journeys including service exploration, project case studies, team information and blog content. To bring personality into the brand, I incorporated a duotone illustration style that reinforced the consultancy’s emphasis on clarity and accessibility.
The site was built using WordPress with the Oxygen framework, which allowed for a more developer-led approach to theming and performance optimisation. This ensured the site remained fast, flexible and maintainable without relying on heavy page builders.
Alongside the core build, I implemented essential production features such as analytics, caching and cookie consent, ensuring the site met modern expectations from launch.
The client was able to retain full control over their content through WordPress while benefiting from a bespoke, high performance front end.
