WordPress Development
How WordPress developers can create your dream website
Why WordPress?
Did you know that over 40 percent of websites use WordPress? It has evolved from a blogging platform into a highly versatile content management system (CMS). It’s open source, meaning it is free and redistributable. WordPress is excellent for business owners who lack technical skills to create their own website. It is also great for website developers due to its high customisability. WordPress is consistently pushing the boundaries of what is available within the CMS world. In this digital space, a professional and unique website is essential to maintain a strong online presence.
WordPress theme and plugin customisation
The beauty of WordPress is in its customisation. In terms of themes and plugins, there are a plethora of free options available. This means you can create your dream business website with the aesthetic and functionality of your choosing. Although WordPress comes with pre-built themes and plugins, there are premium options available for a fee. Often these are more customisable and provide customer support.
Our Spark WordPress developers can create a unique theme specific to your business, modify existing themes and customise new plugins to meet your needs.
Benefits of WordPress
The numerous benefits of WordPress are the reason it’s so popular. They include:
Easy customisation and simple user interface
Search engine optimisation to improve website traffic and your Google ranking
Software Integration
Thousands of themes and plugins
Mobile optimisation to improve user experience
Customer support
Security
Modern WordPress development workflow
Due to its usability and easy customisation, many WordPress developers fail to follow modern development best practice. This means there can be poor coding, which is costly to maintain. It is actually a money-saving strategy to use proven software design principles to get it right the first time. WordPress developers that follow appropriate practices create quality code that is readable, modular, reusable and maintainable.
Techniques for WordPress developers to create best practice code include:
- Version control
- Separate development environments
- WordPress command-line interface (WP-CLI)
- Advanced deployment options
- Linting
With proper project workflow, best practice for the front end includes:
- Use Modern Tooling: Sass and ES6+
- Transition from jQuery to React or Vue.js
- Use WordPress REST API
- Learn Gutenberg
