What Steps Are Involved In WordPress Website Development?
The process of developing a WordPress website can be broken down into several steps. Here’s a general outline of the process:
- We help you choose a hosting provider: There are many options available, and you’ll want to look for a provider that specializes in hosting websites built on WordPress. You want reliable hosting, good customer support, and you want to be sure that your hosting provider has the ability to scale your website as it grows.
- Next we Install WordPress for you: Many hosting providers offer a one-click installation process for WordPress, however, this is not the best option because of security reasons. These one-click installs use default names for administrative accounts and databases that are targeted by bad actors because everyone uses them by default. Our WordPress Website Development Company in Montreal performs a custom installation that does not use these defaults. We want your website to be as safe and secure as possible.
- Then it’s time to help you choose a theme: There are thousands WordPress themes available, and you’ll want to choose a theme that fits the style and function of your website. Not all of the choices are just about how your new website will look, themes are also chosen due to their functionality, types of pages they allow you to create and more. So, while it’s easy to go out ands look at themes based on their looks, you may want to choose more than one and then have us evaluate the functionality of each one before you start the development phase. Once you have chosen a theme, we customize the theme for you, including adding the types of pages and functionality you want, performing search engine optimization, adding your logo (We also design logos), changing the color scheme, and customizing the layout of your pages.
- Next we Install plugins: WordPress plugins add functionality to your website, such as contact forms, social media integration, and e-commerce capabilities. We heave many years of experience using plugins in WordPress. It’s best practice to only add the plugins you really need and we have already tested 100’s of plugins that we know are compatible and secure. Helping with the installation of plugins is included in your WordPress website development package.
- Content Creation: With your theme and plugins in place, we start creating content for your website. This may include pages such as About Us, Contact, and Services, as well as blog posts, images, and videos. WordPress website development in Montreal might also require the content to be both in English and in French. We handle all of that for you as well. We also optimize all of the content for SEO and for better conversion rates.
- Now we get to the test and launch phase: Once you have reviewed everything and are satisfied with the look and the content of your WordPress website, it’s important to test it thoroughly to ensure that everything works properly. We have all the tools needed to thoroughly test your website to make sure it works well on all browsers and mobile phones. When you’re satisfied with your website and it’s been tested, you can launch it and start promoting it.
