Transforming healthcare Figma design into a flexible WordPress site for a nonprofit
Project Overview
Client: Nexleaf Analytics (Healthcare Technology Nonprofit)
Challenge: Convert professional Figma designs to WordPress with cost-effective flexibility
Solution: Full Site Editing (FSE) theme with reusable block patterns
Nexleaf Analytics had beautiful designs from a top firm, but as a small nonprofit, they needed a cost-effective way to bring those designs to life while maintaining flexibility for future content needs.
The Challenge
Nexleaf faced a common nonprofit dilemma:
- Great design, limited budget – Professional Figma designs but couldn’t afford ongoing designer changes
- Evolving content needs – Required flexibility to adapt designs as their content strategy developed
- Small team capacity – Needed a solution their team could manage independently
Our Approach
WordPress Full Site Editing Theme
- Built custom FSE theme from Figma designs
- Integrated Figma styles, colors, and spacing directly into WordPress
- Created reusable block patterns for easy page building
Flexible Component System
- Developed modular components matching the original design
- Enabled the Nexleaf team to create new pages using established patterns
- Maintained design consistency while allowing content flexibility
Key Results
✅ Design Fidelity – Brought beautiful Figma designs to life on WordPress
✅ Cost Efficiency – Eliminated need for expensive designer changes
✅ Content Flexibility – Team can now adapt designs to evolving needs
✅ Easy Management – Nonprofit team can independently manage and update content
Client Testimonial
“We had a great design from a top firm, but the engagement was supported through an organizational partner. As a small non-profit we were very focused on reducing cost, and we couldn’t really go back to the original designer for changes due to the potential expense.
Working with Dusty / WP Support HQ was great because the deep knowledge of WordPress enabled us to request adjustments, including new patterns that both fit with the design and adapted to our evolving content needs.
I really honestly didn’t have a feel for how the site would look until Dusty got most of it up on the dev site. It really made the lovely designs so much more concrete, and it was great to have a flexible and capable developer to work with on getting the whole thing into shape to launch.”
