Wordpress Web Design & Development

If you are looking to have a new Wordpress website designed and built or perhaps a Wordpress website redesign, your project requirements are a must. We can either help you produce those requirements with our website project consulting services or you can easily submit your Wordpress project requirements to us.

Having your requirements ready for us to quote will save you money in the long run. It gives us a document to not only quote, but to work from thus keeping everyone on the same page as we meet each milestone of the project.

Here is an example of what we will be looking for to help quote your project:

• When would you like your new web site live?
• How many web pages are you going to want built?
• Will you be wanting a custom design or will you want to modify a pre-built Wordpress Template?
• Do you already have a logo or do you need one designed or perhaps a touch up of your existing one?
• Will each page needs its own unique design/layout or are most of your pages going to be just text?
• What functionality will you want? Such as contact or quote forms, events, membership, downloads etc?
• Do you want to be found via the search engines or will you drive all traffic to the website yourself?
• Do you want stock imagery throughout your website or will you be providing all of the imagery to us?
• Do you need SEO optimized content provided to you, is your current content updated, or will you provide the content?
• There are just a few of the things we need to know to give you a proper quote. Let us know if you need help.

Again, if you need help in establishing these guidelines or direction on specific functionality you want, we would be more than happy to consult with you on your project to help iron out all of those details so that we can help you chart out the exact path you want to take from beginning to end.

Not sure how to take that next step or perhaps you are not sure what functionality is out there to accomplish your next set of goals? You are not alone. Technology changes daily and you need a Wordpress Design and Development Company that is up-to-date with what is available in the market to help you take your web presence to the next level. Our Wordpress Project Consulting Services help you produce the requirements necessary to quote your new project.

Shown below are 3 of 20 different Wordpress Design Concepts we produced for a client of ours. When we design a Wordpress website from scratch we produce anywhere from 10-20 concepts within 7 days. This allows you to have many options to choose from as well as a large pallet of reference. Sometimes you do not know what you like until you see what you don't. We have a 100% success/delivery rate with our Custom Wordpress Design Services.

How do we produce a guaranteed result? To produce results every time we follow our web design and development project process. It is this time-proven process that has helped form and shape us into the #1 rated Wordpress Website Design Company we are today. Once we have your project requirements, all our questions answered, we produce a design brief. This design brief (fact sheet) is all the information our Wordpress designers need to start crafting the "look and feel" of your new website.

Here is what you can expect:

• A design brief created (from your project requirements) outlining all design aspects.
• 10- 20 concepts from 10-20 of our Wordpress designers each with a unique perspective.
• Internal/Sub page creation based on your layout requirements
• Unlimited concept revisions
• Digital layered Photoshop (.psd) design files
• Associated fonts used in design

The majority of our business is redesigning Wordpress websites. We are experts at it.

At the end of the day, our clients want a quick return on invest, a higher page rank, lower bounce rates and increased conversions all the while being budget conscious.

Many clients do not want to go thru the process of designing a new Wordpress website from scratch. That could be do to budgetary constraints, time constraints or lack of staffing to take on that type of project. And rightly so. It does take more time to design and build a Wordpress Website from scratch than it does to modify a pre-built Wordpress Template to meet your requirements.

The good news about completely modifying an existing Wordpress template is that all underlying infrastructure is built and we need to simply add your content, graphics and specific functionality. Once we are done, your website will look like it was designed from the ground up.

Here are a just a few customized Wordpress Template examples of websites that started as templates and where transformed into their own custom look and feel:

Your Wordpress website has either been custom designed and or you have chosen a Wordpress template. Either way it is now time to develop your design.

Developing a Wordpress Website requires extreme skill (webmaster), adherence to the latest internet standards (process) as well as an SEO master (understanding of application). It is these 3 skill sets that determines if you have a #1 page rankable website or not. There is only 2 types of websites. A website that is built the right way and a website that is built the wrong way. Basically, these next few steps in the Wordpress Development process are what separate the big dogs from the wannabe Wordpress website developers.

Step 1: PSD (design file) to HTML5 and CSS3 Conversion

It is time to take your design file or template and start the Wordpress Development process. We us all of the technologies below whether we are developing a Wordpress Website from scratch or if we are modifying a Wordpress Template. It is imperative (if you want to maintain a #1 page rankable website) that all standards below are adhered to.

Technologies and standards that make up our Wordpress Development Services:

What determines the technologies and standards we use on your Wordpress Website Development all depends on your what specific needs and goals are. For example, you may not need DHTML Rollovers or Section 508 compliance.

Step 2: Wordpress Framework Selection

This next step does not apply to Wordpress Templates as they are already developed on a Framework depending upon the template provider. However, this is the next step in the Wordpress Web Development process of a custom design.

Framework selection. The 5 most used frameworks are the following:

• Genesis Framework
• Divi Builder
• UnderStrap
• Cherry Framework
• Thesis Framework

What exactly is the Wordpress Framework? The Framework we are talking about here in step 2 is the layer that ties your design/functionality into the Wordpress Core (CMS) itself. This framework layer gives your website different levels of functionality such us: Cross browser support, module structure, grid system, print style sheets, java script effects etc. This layer called "Framework" is installed into Wordpress and your HTML5/CSS3 converted design is then installed into the Framework. This allows for your template to be responsive, template compression, accordion menus, drop downs, widgets etc. Basically all the cool stuff your website does is provided by the Framework.

Step 3: Wordpress Website Development

Wordpress Web Development, by the most experienced Wordpress Web Developers, is the next step. You are like, "isn't this all Wordpress Website Development?" Well, kinda sorta, lol! :)

Once the HTML layer conversion process is completed and the chosen Framework Layer has been installed to build it on, we then begin the integration of your freshly coded HTML5/CSS3 template into the Framework that we installed on the Wordpress CMS System and begin our customizations. THIS is Wordpress Development!

During the Wordpress web development stage, we begin the install/configuration of your different extensions, components and modules you selected during the discovery stage of the project. This is the beginning of the next phase, the next tab down.

Step 4: Adding your content, imagery and functionality

Now that our Wordpress Developers have wrapped up the design and development aspects of your new design or modified Wordpress Template, it is now time to add in all of your content, page images, as well as your functional requirements such as sitemaps, contact forms, event calendars, ecommerce shop, membership system etc. Whatever your requirement document necessitates to bring your website to completion.

Take note that depending on what type of functionality we install, all Wordpress Components/Extensions will have a default look and may or may not fit within your new design layout. We may have to custom code the Wordpress Extension to fit within your new web site design schema so that it looks completely integrated. During this stage of development, our Wordpress Developers will be working with you to customize your extensions and plugins which may require third party account setups like Google and Bing, Sharethis and Facebook. There will be quite a few scripts that will need to be added to your website.

Here are just a few items we address during this stage of development:

When a Turn Group client hosts their website with us, they get two hosting accounts. One for their live website and one for development/staging purposes. If you are a Wordpress! Hosting client of ours, then we would be building your website on your dev account. If you are not a Wordpress! web hosting client of ours, we still setup a temporary dev account on our servers to build your website on. Once the website goes live on your hosting account, we delete the dev account. When your website has been completed, it will either be uploaded to your live hosting account with us or uploaded to your current web hosting service provider. We have worked with almost every web hosting company on the planet. So you have will have no worries on your website going live, we handle everything.

Testing and Quality Assurance:

Testing consists of two parts. Our team trying to anticipate users movements throughout the website and to make sure it is running properly and efficiently and then of course your reviewing of the website for anything we might have missed. Together we go over all deliverables and functionality to make sure all specs have been met or exceeded. Testing generally takes a few days before everyone has signed off on the project and we prep for go live.

Going Live:

Going live is a pretty simple process.

• We back up your current website and database
• We store that backup both locally and offsite
• We upload your new site to your live hosting account
• We test for multi-browser compatibility
• We test for mobile-responsiveness
• We make sure all .htaccess and robot.txt files have been updated accordingly
• We make sure all storage paths have been updated to the live server
• We turn on all of the optimization services to make sure they are compatible with your live hosting account
• Prepare automated backups for your new site
• Install and configure your firewall security software
• Connect Sitelock to your website
• We do another round of testing on the live site of all forms and functionality
• Final signoff of project

Once your website is live, now comes the most important part. The ongoing support of your Wordpress website. Our website support services are too indepth for this section, so click here to view our Wordpress Web Support Services.
