The challenge Anna faced with WordPress
Who is Anna? Anna grew up in Barcelona, Spain. Throughout her career, a passion for connectivity, digital design and leadership cultivated her professional life. Now she works as both a Digital Product Designer & Social Media Manager, with her speciality nestled in outdoor industries.
What was the challenge? She needed to adapt and customize a WordPress website while utilizing an existing theme. Their client had rather specific design standards and functional needs that included:
- Modifying visual elements (color, typography, layout)
- Optimizing their users’ experiences
- Integrating & configuring required plugins (SEO, contact forms, speed optimizations)
All of this to ensure the WordPress site aligned with the client’s brand identity and business goals. Deadlines were tight, skills were needed. Anna turned to Xolo and found Andrés.

“The process was straightforward. I posted my project, received several applications, and carefully reviewed their experience and portfolios before making a decision,” Anna continues.
Direct communication with Andrés was key for them both. Andrés noted that it’s vital to “be clear about what the client expects and work… to meet the estimated timelines.” He carried on expressing that “having a complete profile with a good portfolio is extremely important. Be kind to others every step of the way.”
