WordPress Website Design and Development Process
The length of time it takes to complete your website depends on the size and scope of your project. In general, each website has the following components.
Inputs Meeting
Our process begins with an inputs call where you will discuss your ideas and content with us. To be prepared for this call, you should have the following ready:
- Sitemap (all the pages and how you want them organized)
- Desired functionality
- Ideal audiences and outcomes
- Logo and design assets in vector format
- Licensed stock or custom images
- Example websites that you like
- Website content
- List of website editors you’d like to have access to your website
- Third-party service information (e.g. email marketing system, merchant services gateway, domain registrar, DNS provider, etc)
The inputs meeting typically takes one hour and will be scheduled within one week of your WordPress website quote acceptance or order.
Hosting Configuration
Valice will configure your secure WordPress installation on a development instance of your
Managed WordPress Hosting plan. You will have live preview access to your website as we are completing the design, content and functionality.
Design, Content and Development
Once we begin work on your WordPress website, the functionality, content and design come together at the same time. Since each component of the website is affected by the other, we have found this to be the most efficient approach. It also allows you to more thoughtfully review the various aspects of the website.
Checkpoints and Feedback
As we complete various components of the website, we will ask for your feedback and schedule additional, brief checkpoint calls to keep the project moving forward. It is important that you be prepared with feedback on these calls and supply us with any missing or additional content and inputs.
Orientation and Training
Prior to sign off and deployment, Valice will conduct
online training with any users which you authorize to have editing access to the website. We highly recommend that all website editors undergo a training with a Valice WordPress trainer prior to requesting
support for the website. Your trainer will provide site-specific documentation and customize the training to your areas of focus. We’ll also provide you with all the tools and information you’ll need to get WordPress help and support following the launch.
Sign Off
Before we schedule the website deploy, we will ask that you sign off on the design, functionality and content. Your sign off confirms that the work has been completed to your satisfaction and that you have received information and
training for requesting
support and changes after the launch.
Go Live!
Valice will handle all aspects of the deploy. We will migrate the site to your production environment and take care of any DNS entries which need to be made.
Additional Management Services
We understand that websites are dynamic and you may need an expert WordPress partner to help you grow, improve and maintain your WordPress website after the initial launch. Valice goes beyond Managed WordPress hosting to provide ongoing WordPress website development, design and editing for website owners in need of these services.
Website edit and service requests can be initiated from your my.valice.com account where you can also view and track all requests.
