Our WordPress web development process

Step 1: Discovery

At the start of any website project, we’ll meet with you for a kick-off to discuss your goals for your new site and your preferences. During this meeting, we’ll confirm the scope of work to be completed and the project deliverables.

Step 2: Requirements

Website requirements provide a blueprint for how your website will be designed and built. Your project manager will prepare the requirements document based on your discussions. The document will detail every template and module your site will use and will guide the whole project. We’ll then create 2.2 AA accessible User Experience wireframes that show you the layout of pages on your new site. These will be prototyped so you can navigate through the structure of your website and identify any critical user journey issues.

Step 3: Design

We will work with you to understand your preferences for website look and feel. We’ll then create a design that aligns with these preferences and meets accessibility requirements. Once approved, the design will be applied to the wireframes so you can see how your site will look.

Step 4: Development

The requirements and the approved design are then given to the development team to build the site. Once the site is built, our expert testing team will complete technical, functional and device testing to ensure the website is top shelf on all platforms. You’ll then receive training to populate content and also have the opportunity to test the site. When you’re happy with it, the site will be ready to go live.

Frequently asked questions

What is WordPress?

WordPress is one of the most popular content management systems, widely used for building and managing websites. The software allows users to create, manage, and publish website content without extensive coding knowledge. It is free and open source, so it has a large online community. Originally designed for blogging, WordPress is now a great option for different types of websites, from blogs and businesses to eCommerce stores.

What is a WordPress plugin?

A WordPress plugin is a piece of software that “plugs in” to your website. Plugins are used to add new features or enhance existing functionality. For example, enabling eCommerce on your website, improving SEO and integrating social media. When you build a website with our WordPress designers and developers, we’ll make sure to implement the best plugins for your needs and goals.

Should I use a WordPress template for my website?

Choosing between a WordPress template or a custom design depends on your needs and resources. Templates offer a quick, cost-effective way to get a website up and running. They're ideal for those with limited budgets or needing a simple site. However, templates may lack uniqueness and specific features. Custom designs provide a tailored solution that reflects your brand and offers unique functionalities but requires more investment and time.

Our WordPress designers and developers can work with you to determine the most appropriate solution for your business.
