project brief
Large-Scale WordPress Website Redesign & Rebuild for Learnlight
Learnlight required a major WordPress website redesign and rebuild of its global website, which contained more than 1,600 pages of existing content.
The website already contained a significant amount of valuable content and had been built using Elementor. Because of the size and complexity of the existing website, completely replacing the platform was not a practical option.
The requirement was therefore to take the supplied new website designs and rebuild them within the existing WordPress and Elementor environment.
The focus of the project was on accurate frontend implementation, creating reusable Elementor components and developing a consistent framework that could support the extensive existing content.
The project involved rebuilding the website while preserving the existing content structure and making the new designs practical to manage within WordPress.
Based in London, UK, Learnlight operates internationally, requiring a robust and scalable website capable of supporting a large global audience.
Challenges & Objectives
A website containing more than 1,600 pages presents very different challenges from a typical corporate website.
The existing website had already been built using Elementor, with a large amount of content dependent on the platform. Replacing the entire system would have introduced unnecessary complexity and required extensive content migration.
The objective was therefore to implement the client’s supplied designs within the existing WordPress infrastructure while improving consistency and creating a more scalable Elementor framework.
The key requirements were to:
- Rebuild the supplied website designs in WordPress.
- Retain the existing content and WordPress infrastructure.
- Continue using Elementor because of the scale of the existing website.
- Develop reusable Elementor components.
- Create flexible page structures that could accommodate different content.
- Ensure the new website was fully responsive.
- Improve consistency across the extensive website.
- Make future content creation and updates more manageable.
- Maintain the visual integrity of the supplied designs across different screen sizes.
Approach
01
Figma-to-WordPress Development
The website designs were supplied by the client in Figma.
The role was to translate those approved designs into a working WordPress website, ensuring that the layouts, typography, spacing, components and responsive behaviour were accurately reproduced within Elementor.
The development process focused on turning the supplied visual designs into practical, reusable WordPress components rather than creating individual pages as standalone builds.
02
Working Within an Existing Large-Scale Website
The scale of the existing website was a key consideration throughout the rebuild.
With more than 1,600 pages already in place, the project required an approach that could work alongside the existing content rather than requiring everything to be recreated from scratch.
Elementor was retained as the development platform, allowing the new layouts to be introduced while preserving the existing WordPress content and infrastructure.
This made the rebuild considerably more practical while reducing the disruption that would have resulted from replacing the entire website platform.
03
Elementor Website Rebuild
The supplied designs were rebuilt using Elementor, with a focus on creating clean and reusable components.
Common page elements were developed as reusable structures so that the same design patterns could be applied consistently throughout the website.
The result was a website rebuild that retained the flexibility of Elementor while providing a much more structured implementation of the new designs.
04
Reusable Components & Page Structures
A major part of the development was creating reusable Elementor components and flexible page structures.
Rather than treating every page as an isolated build, recurring design elements were developed as reusable building blocks.
These included:
- Hero sections
- Content sections
- Calls to action
- Feature sections
- Standardised layouts
- Responsive components
- Reusable Elementor structures
- Consistent typography and spacing
This approach made it possible to implement the supplied designs efficiently across a very large website while maintaining consistency.

The Website Redesign & Rebuild Delivered:
A modern implementation of the supplied designs
The approved client designs were translated into a fully functioning WordPress and Elementor website, maintaining the intended visual structure across desktop, tablet and mobile.
A scalable Elementor framework
The existing Elementor platform was retained but developed into a more structured system of reusable components and page sections.
Better consistency across the website
Reusable components provided a consistent approach to recurring design elements throughout the extensive website.
Existing content retained
The rebuild allowed the substantial existing content library to remain within the WordPress environment rather than requiring a complete migration to a new platform.
A foundation for ongoing development
The new component-based approach makes it easier to continue developing and extending the website while maintaining consistency with the supplied design system.
A Large-Scale WordPress Rebuild
Large websites require a different approach to a conventional website redesign. For Learnlight, the supplied Figma designs were rebuilt within the existing WordPress and Elementor infrastructure, retaining more than 1,600 pages while creating a modern, scalable frontend.
The result is a substantial website revamp that demonstrates how effective website redesign services can combine accurate Figma web design implementation with robust website development and website rebuild services.
