Custom WordPress Website for a Businessman & Author

Website Development & Ongoing Support

Glen L Hall is a UK entrepreneur, author, and business leader with over 25 years’ experience building and scaling organisations. He is best known for founding the Write Research Group, a talent intelligence business later acquired by Capita, and now leads ventures focused on talent insight, social value, and community impact. Alongside his business work, he is also a published author of The Last Druid Trilogy and is undertaking academic research in creative writing exploring themes of truth, purpose, and contemporary storytelling.

Background, Goals & Objectives

I had the privilege of developing the Glen L Hall website, bringing to life a personal brand and professional ventures that span business leadership, authorship, and academic research. Working from flat Figma designs, I translated the visual concepts into a fully interactive, responsive WordPress site, enhancing the layouts with subtle animations, smooth UI interactions, and flexible content structures.

The site showcases Glen’s business ventures, published works, and ongoing research in a clean and intuitive format, making it easy for visitors to explore his achievements and insights. During development, I ensured the backend is fully client-editable, giving Glen the ability to manage and update content independently, while maintaining performance, responsiveness, and a professional online presence.

My involvement also focused on user experience and accessibility, ensuring a seamless journey across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, creating a polished platform that elevates Glen’s brand and communicates his story effectively.

The primary goal of this website development project was to transform supplied designs into a fully functional, modern, and responsive WordPress website that effectively communicates Glen L Hall’s professional profile, ventures, and published work. A key objective was to create a clean and engaging user experience with subtle interactive elements and smooth page movement to enhance usability and visual interest.

Another important objective was to ensure the site was easy for the client to manage independently, with flexible page structures and an intuitive Elementor-based backend allowing content updates without technical knowledge. Performance, accessibility, and responsiveness across all devices were also prioritised to support a wide audience and maintain a professional online presence.

Design Process

The project began with a set of flat designs created in Figma provided by the clients designer. My role was to bring these designs to life, translating static visuals into a fully functional, interactive website using WordPress and Elementor.

I focused on enhancing the original layouts by introducing subtle motion, interactive UI elements, and smooth transitions to make the site feel dynamic and engaging, while remaining true to the client’s visual identity. Throughout the process, I ensured that the site was fully responsive, so it works seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, and that the backend remained intuitive so the client could easily update content without requiring ongoing developer support.
