The Future of WordPress Web Design: Are Things Changing?

In a world that’s changing quickly, the field of website design has to adapt even more rapidly. After all, technology is outdated almost as fast as someone develops it. In addition, since web design is an important marketing arm, techniques for reaching new clients or customers have to keep morphing to meet changing needs. In this post, we’ll discuss WordPress web design and how this platform is undergoing changes to meet current needs more effectively.

What do I need to know about these changes?

Simply put, business owners should be aware that WordPress has been making a lot of changes behind the scenes over the past few years. Something the WordPress developers call “Gutenberg” has revolutionized the way the dashboard works within the admin side of the platform. New WordPress themes have been developed that allow site administrators to work more directly within WordPress to make changes to site layouts. Of course, websites with legacy themes / plugins etc will continue to work as Gutenberg is still fairly new.

However, business owners can look excitedly towards a WordPress future where editing is easier. Now more than ever, marketing plays an important role in the effectiveness of a website. Web design is more than just a few pages thrown up on the internet…it’s about creating a beautiful, cohesive space for potential clients and customers to experience your brand.

Other characteristics of an overall web presence can include…

• Quickly loading / speedy site
• Simple to use eCommerce setup (if in use)
• Eye-catching photography that represents your company and doesn’t weigh down the site
• Compelling content that draws organic traffic and is optimized for SEO
• Social media and Google presence as appropriate for your needs
• Easy to use call to action / form setup or live chat
• An active blog
