Are you thinking about a new company website, but are you lost in a sea of information? Have you ever heard of WordPress, but you're not sure if it's the right choice? Or maybe you already have an obsolete page and want to know how to start creating a modern, efficient interface?
You're in the right place. I am Péter Teszáry, WordPress developer, and in this detailed guide I will show you step-by-step how a professional takes place WordPress Website Design. My aim is to answer not only "how", but also what you should pay attention to, so that the end result is not just a nice online business card, but a real, customer-generating tool.
Why is WordPress the best choice for most businesses?
In short: Because WordPress is the most popular content management system in the world, which makes websites more than 43%It operates. It's not a coincidence.
- Flexible and expandable: From a simple blog to a complex webshop with thousands of products, you can do almost anything with it.
- Search Engine Friendly (SEO): Google ‘likes’ WordPress sites and can be perfectly optimised for search results with the right tools (such as Slim SEO).
- Easy to use: Once delivered, you can easily edit content, upload new articles or images without the need for programming skills.
The Big Misconception: the HUF 50 000 ‘WordPress page’
Before embarking on this process, it is important to clear up a common misunderstanding. The internet is full of offers that promise a ‘professional WordPress site’ for the price of a pizza. How is that possible?
These offers are usually based on a purchased foreign template. ‘Development’ is limited to replacing the logo and colours and inserting the text. The result will be a slow, unnecessarily coded website with security risks, to which it is almost impossible to add unique features later. It's not an investment, it's a waste of money.
Creating a professional WordPress website doesn't start here.
The process of creating a professional WordPress website step by step
In my work, every project starts with a careful planning phase, so that the final result serves exactly your business goals.
Step 1: Consultation and strategy
It all starts with a free, informal conversation. Here I get to know your business, your goals and your target audience. Key issues: What do you want the visitor to do on the site? Ask for an offer? You want to sign up? Do you want to buy? The answers determine the overall structure of the page.
Step 2: Design and wireframe (Figma)
Based on the strategy, I create the ‘drawing’ of the page, i.e. the wireframe. There are no colors or images on this yet, only the layout of functions and content blocks. This ensures that the user experience is logical and smooth before dealing with design.
Step 3: Development (with modern tools)
This is where the ‘magic’ takes place. Instead of working with slow, obsolete page builders (such as Elementor or Divi), I use modern, lightweight tools (Bricks Builder, native Gutenberg) that result in clean, fast, and maintainable code. This is the technical basis for high PageSpeed scores and long-term stability.
Step 4: Content upload and SEO foundation
I upload the textual and visual content you provide and perform the basic but critical ‘On-Site SEO’ settings. Each page receives the relevant headings, the images the ‘alt’ tags, and a network of internal links is built up.
Step 5: Testing, sharpening and education
I test the site on all important browsers and devices. Once everything works perfectly, I'll arm it with the final domain name. At the end of the project, I will show you how to manage the site's administration interface with a short online training.

How much does it cost to build a WordPress website?
This is the most common question and the most honest answer is: ‘depends on’. The price of a website is like a house. It depends on its size, functions and individual needs.

One company portal with unique features, multiple CPTs and complex designs or one basic WooCommerce webshop It's already a bigger investment.
