Hansons Kitchens & Wardrobes

What the client had

A bespoke kitchen and wardrobe company came to me with a link to a Lovable project. They had used it as a design tool — a way to see their idea on screen — and they were happy with the result: a dark navy and gold identity, serif display type, the look a premium fitted-kitchen brand needs.

What they wanted was that same design as a real WordPress site they could run themselves.

Working from a live URL

The only thing I had was the live Lovable site. No project files, no Figma, no design system — just a rendered page in a browser.

That is a normal starting point for this kind of job, and it shapes the approach: everything has to be measured off the running site. Spacing, type sizes, colours, breakpoints, hover states, the lot.

What I built

• Pixel-perfect rebuild of the design in WordPress and Elementor, matched against the live original
• Editable by the client, which was the entire point — no developer needed to change a price or add a gallery image
• An enquiry form wired through WP Mail SMTP, so submissions are delivered through a proper mail service rather than relying on PHP mail(), which is unreliable on shared hosting and frequently lands in spam
• Responsive across real breakpoints, checked on devices rather than assumed from the desktop layout

Start to finish: four to five days.

Why not just keep the Lovable site?

Because it was never meant to be the website. The client used Lovable the way you might use a mood board or a mockup — to decide what they wanted.

That is worth saying plainly, because it is the most common version of this job. An AI builder is genuinely good at showing you an idea quickly. It is not the same as a site a non-technical business can run: staff who need to update content, email that has to actually arrive, hosting somebody understands, and a platform their next developer will recognise.

Moving to WordPress traded a little technical elegance for something the client can operate without me. For this business, that was the right trade.
