Description
We’re a UK-based WordPress hosting and support business for small companies, and our website needs a design refresh.
We launched our WordPress maintenance and support service three years ago and have grown steadily. While we focused on customers, our own site fell behind. The MD has now waved the white flag and we’re bringing in outside design expertise to help us move faster and raise the bar.
This is a design-focused role, we’ll handle the build.
---
### About us
We focus exclusively on the UK small business market, offering:
* Domain names
* Green, UK-based hosting
* WordPress maintenance & security
* Subscription-based support plans
Our brand is **security-minded but approachable** — professional, trustworthy, tech-savvy, and plain English. Sustainability matters to us and should be reflected subtly in the design.
Think: *If Virgin did WordPress hosting and security for small businesses.*
---
### What we need
We already have:
* Final brand assets and copy
* A WordPress theme to use or take inspiration from
* A live WordPress site with billing, accounts, and admin already working
We need:
* High-fidelity, near-final UI designs**
* One clear design direction (not multiple concepts)
* Designs delivered as:
* Elementor Pro wireframes/templates inside WordPress
and/or
* High-quality static mockups (PNG/PDF)
You’ll design the layouts; we’ll implement and handle responsiveness.
---
### Pages to be designed
* Home
* Articles & News (WP blog roll)
* WordPress Resources
* WordPress Help & Troubleshooting
* Business Resources
* Testimonials
* Support Plan Comparison Table (3-tier pricing)
* Shop (WooCommerce listings)
* Product page template
* Contact page
Each page will require a clear, consistent layout aligned with our branding.
---
### Technical & design requirements
* Elementor Pro
* UI placeholders for API-driven components (hosting integrations, product tiles)
* Clean, conversion-friendly UX without being salesy
* Accessibility-aware design (meets accessibility best practices)
* Consideration for high-contrast mode
* Mobile-first thinking (we’ll handle implementation)
---
### Ideal experience (nice to have)
* Strong Elementor / WordPress design experience
* Experience with:
* Hosting companies
* SaaS products
* Subscription-based services
* UX-focused mindset for small business users
* Comfortable designing around existing systems
* Clear communicator and collaborative working style
---
### Timeline
*Start:* Before end of February
*Delivery:* Mid-April (approx. 6 weeks from start)
---
### How to apply
In your application please include:
1. An example of your most recent project and why you feel it met the brief
2. A website you really like (not necessarily your own) and why

What's the timeline for this project?

Hi Stuart — quick checks so I scope this properly:
1. For the list of pages, do you want distinct designs for each, or a small set of reusable layout templates applied across them?
2. Your brief says “Elementor templates and/or static mockups” — which is your preferred sign-off deliverable (the one you’ll review/approve)?
3. Will you provide a staging WP install with Elementor Pro for me to place the templates, or should I deliver mockups first and you’ll drop them into WP?Stuart M.03 Feb 2026We love details, and thank you for giving me the chance to clarify this for you.
1. We like the modular approach - a small set of templates across page, with sections that can be repurposed for different elements at a later stage? Gives us some design flexibility, as an agency we do not excel at design, we're competant enough, but support and maintenance is our sweet spot.
2. Elementor templates is our preferred sign-off deliverable
3. We will provide a development WP install on a sub domain with Elementor Pro but price dependent on how that affects the end price.
For further context: the URL is PressPilot.co.uk if you wanted to see what we have done thus far. Context - we started to offer the product to test it before there was a website, we offered it to ten customers, 6 signed up. We then through this site together to market it but we then landed a massive project, and the website got shelved. It was a basic "get something up" and then got forgot in the big project. We have our customer account access currently on a different domain, but will move to a subdomain, which then handles the login to the system and manage their account. So the site is mostly a front end shop, selling the products and handling the enquiries and rebilling.
Feel free to ask further questions, we never penalise someone trying to help us solve a problem.Eight Veer Ltd03 Feb 2026Hey Stuart, thanks for the thorough answers (and for sharing the context). A couple of quick confirmations now avoids guesswork, saves us both time, and means I can send a properly scoped proposal rather than a generic one.
To price and lock scope cleanly, please confirm:
1. Phase 1 for the £500: which templates are included (e.g., Home, Blog/Articles, Generic Content/Resources, Woo Shop listing, Product, Contact, plus the 3-tier plan table), and anything you want explicitly excluded.
2. Reusable modules count: roughly how many repurposable sections you’d like included (e.g., hero, trust/security strip, feature blocks, pricing/plan table, testimonials, FAQ, product tiles).
3. Sign-off + revisions: one consolidated review round and one revision pass across all templates (approved inside the dev WP via Elementor).
Once that’s confirmed, I’ll submit a proposal with clear deliverables + acceptance criteria. -

What single outcome would you consider the biggest win from this refresh, stronger trust signals, higher support plan signups, or clearer navigation that reduces confusion for first time visitors
Stuart M.03 Feb 2026LOVE this question - thank you.
One word - sales. We want sales. Currently the site focuses on our support and maintenance as that was the product we were upselling too, but we did a deep dive and realised that our customer journey was always. (if no domain) Domain, then ask about hosting. OR want to come to us for Hosting and we move them across. We then discuss managed services. This has been the proven path and steady growth, so we want to attract people who will buy a domain and hosting, the trust sky rockets when they have been with us for 90 days esp if we fix some minor stuff FOC.
They then got offered our maintenance plan and 60% say yes.
Therefore ideal customer journey is
Domain and/or Hosting purchase > Support plan.
Therefore the journey has to relflect this trust building exercises. We only want customer who aren't going to argue with us, second guess us, and generally act in bad faith (which we have had a fw of, the "I saw on google that you should be doing...") we want customers who are "technically illiterate", so we can be their support and give value from our 30 years doing this.
Hope that helps clarify our needs for your pruposes.
