The goal of this project was to rebuild an existing Laravel-based website into a fully manageable WordPress site. The new solution needed to follow shared Photoshop designs precisely while improving maintainability, performance, and editorial flexibility for the client.
Technology –
- WordPress
Challenge
The client required a complete migration of their website from Laravel to WordPress without compromising the existing visual structure or content. Key expectations included:
- Rebuilding all site pages using custom Photoshop designs
- Replicating existing menus and layouts, with selective improvements
- Displaying latest news posts while archiving older ones for client control
- Streamlining content management for ongoing internal updates
- Realigning page layouts, particularly with testimonials and footer design
- Ensuring the system is future-ready and easy to maintain
Solution
We delivered a clean, flexible WordPress platform tailored to the client’s needs — combining accurate frontend design with powerful backend content tools.
WORDPRESS SETUP & CUSTOM DESIGN
- Installed WordPress on a secure, dedicated environment
- Created a custom theme matching Photoshop files pixel-for-pixel
- Ensured design consistency across all templates and sections
PAGE STRUCTURE & CONTENT MIGRATION
- Recreated all primary pages: Home, Clients, Case Studies, Candidates & News
- Included additional supporting pages: Talent Lifecycle, Take a Close Look, Services, Meet the Team, Work for Us
- Existing content was migrated with light adjustments to navigation and layout
NEWS SECTION CONFIGURATION
- Configured the News section to show only the latest 2 months of content
- Older articles are moved to a dedicated Archive, managed via admin
- Admins can delete or retain archived posts as needed
UI & STRUCTURAL ENHANCEMENTS
- Applied left-aligned content across all pages for visual consistency
- Redesigned and applied a new footer across the entire site
- Repositioned testimonials: Included only on the Home page & Removed from other pages to declutter layouts
PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE
- Audited and updated all plugins to latest stable versions
- Optimized the theme and backend for long-term scalability and support
Final Result
The final deliverable is a modern, fast, and easy-to-manage WordPress site that mirrors the original Laravel structure and design. The platform supports scalable content management, allows future e-commerce or integration upgrades, and offers the client full editorial control with no developer dependency.
