OUR PROCESS
Envisage Digital adopts a client centric, agile build approach to all our WordPress development services. By doing this you’re kept involved in all aspects of the project, building a confident respectful relationship from scoping to launching the solution. Our extensive knowledge in this area will put you on the right track to accelerate your business – by teaming up with us you’re partnering with an agency that likes to give a personal touch and treat every project as their own.
1. Project Definition
We jump right into the consultancy stage where we define your CMS goals and aspirations. Sketching out the project’s fundamental functional processes and necessities, we can define a comprehensive analysis and agree on your WordPress design and development requirements.
We then involve our user experience knowledge to assure that the front end of the website will serve your target audience, by creating visitor personas. This can help us both understand how your target audience will travel through the site and what content they expect at essential points.
2. Development Project Planning & Scoping
As we mentioned in the responsive design section, we’re trained to code secure solutions for the future. We’ll conduct a functional audit to prove all functions can be achieved and construct a hierarchical sitemap so we can visualise the solution.
Many websites launch without fulfilling their potential, we can use this scoping to confirm that the journey or functions you and your visitors expect can be achieved. This will eradicate any functional/navigational problems before investment is put into design and development.
3. Web Design
Now we have the blueprint in place, we look into finding a customisable theme or building a custom one to suit your business. When choosing or creating a theme, we know what to look for, and develop, to ensure that it complies with up-to-date WordPress security and search engine optimisation standards – reducing risk and increasing rankings/traffic.
Whether we wireframe, prototype and design our own theme or install and customise a universal one, we will have your involvement throughout the process to sign off the look and feel that sits on top of the skeleton we built using the scoping stage. This is done using online software so you can view design versions and annotate changes, communicating as if we’re in the next room.
4. Website Development
Envisage Digital WordPress developers use an agile approach to work on multiple sections of the site. Each person will be responsible for building a section of the site, quality testing it and deploying it for review.
While the development is in full swing, we have the opportunity to work on the content with you and perfect your message, titles and imagery.
5. Use Acceptance Testing
At the stage of project completion, we draw upon the whole team to get a point of view from people involved in the project and not. This can include WordPress developers, WordPress SEOs, WordPress user experience and project management team members. By all of these parties reviewing the work, we can have an impartial view and put the finishing touches to your solution.
You end up with a website that is up to the standards of the whole team.
6. Delivery
Before a site gets approved by you and goes live, it’s run through a checklist of web standards with the aim to deliver optimised code, functionality assurance and search engine optimisation.
Post launch we’re here to help make sure all goes smoothly, all you have to worry about is showing off your new site.
