3.Development

The custom WordPress development stage implies handling three key elements of WordPress content management system, which are core code, themes, and plugins. Themes are responsible for the look of the website. Based on the budget available, our software developers can either create a custom WordPress theme or modify an existing one so it satisfies the project requirements. Plugins are used to implement additional features. We recommend you avoid installing too many plugins since they can negatively affect the performance of your website.

4.Release

The WordPress website release means making our website visible for both people looking for your services on the internet and search engines. At this stage, we migrate all data and deploy the website to the hosting platform chosen by the customer and adjust the DNS settings to point name servers properly. Once the final data migration is complete and quality assurance engineers have performed functional, usability, security, and performance tests, the website can go live.

5.Support

WordPress app development is an ongoing process. Companies need to add new functionality regularly to stay relevant and respond quickly to the customer’s evolving needs. Besides, the websites should be constantly monitored to make sure they are bug-free and available 24/7. That’s when high-quality after-launch maintenance and support services save the day. There are two ways to maintain digital products after their successful launch. The first one implies offering customers a specific amount of hours for a predefined monthly fee. The second option is creating a backlog with tasks taking at least eighty working hours.

Our engagement models

Time & material WordPress development

According to this approach, we set prices for our WordPress development services proceeding from the man-hours of our developers and the resources used. The time and material model considers the dynamic nature of the software development and takes into account changing requirements, updates, and risks unusually associated with it. For this reason, it is getting more and more popular among software development companies.

Dedicated WordPress development team

If customers want to manage their project on their own, we can offer them a dedicated WordPress development team. It includes highly skilled project managers, software developers, QA engineers, and UX/UI designers. Customers can manage the team activities and tasks they perform from their side. Alternatively, this task can be assigned to a project manager from a WordPress development company they partner with.
