Bringing ideas to life
Our approach to WordPress development is solution orientated. We work hard to solve problems, so your end users won't have to.
Offering end-to-end WordPress design & development services.
WordPress Specialists
We take the time to understand you and your web development needs, so let's grab a coffee and chat.
Concept to Launch
You need a website, you want a professional service, a knowledgeable team to work with, a fast and responsive site, as well as a solution that serves your end users needs.
Our team are here to produce your website, for your users.
Research | Design | Development | Testing | Launch
Research
In this first step we need to thoroughly understand your service, your goals, your users and their expectations and behaviour, and how your website factors into all of it.
We’ll also look at the competitive landscape to establish context and benchmarks for how your site should function and then improve on that. This stage will give us the foundation for moving forward with just the right recommendations for the design and development of your new responsive website.
Design
Once we’re armed with this information, we’ll set to work sketching out interface layouts for 3-5 different views, including the home page, sub page, the blog template, and any additional templates needed. Wireframes look like simple skeletons of your website without the visual polish of the finished design, allowing us to experiment and iterate on solutions quickly so that we have a good sense of how content should be laid out across different screen sizes.
We recommend having all of your content ready by this stage which will inform the design and make it faster to load the initial content on the development server so content doesn't hold back the launch. If you won't be able to provide professionally written content by this stage we recommend having our in-house copywriter create the content for you.
Next we’ll design high-fidelity comps that show what the final designs will look like on desktop, tablet, and smart-phone screen sizes, providing up to two rounds of revisions on the design.
Development
Next we'll set to work making your design a reality by building the site using standards-based technology. We'll build the front-end templates in HTML5, CSS, and use jQuery for simple behaviour and effects like animations and form validation.
WordPress Theme Development
We recommend WordPress as your content management system (CMS) so you can update the content yourself. WordPress is the most popular open-source CMS in the world and has thousands of developers constantly improving it and contributing plugins to extend it's functionality.
We'll install WordPress on your server, set up the admin panel for you and then create a custom WordPress theme that will mirror the design we created for you.
Testing
We'll test the website in a variety of browsers, including the latest versions of Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge. We'll also test the responsive design on iPhone and Android devices. We'll test the functionality of the site to ensure there are no errors or broken links and then hand it over to you for review on a test server.
You'll have two rounds of minor revisions or tweaks to the sites, and then we'll launch.
Launch
Once you’ve tested the website and are happy with its functionality, we’ll make the WordPress theme live on your website and point your domain over to the new site. Launch time!
