Conception and consulting

Long-term, successful projects require good planning in programming.

Based on a requirements specification, goals and wishes are defined, technologies used are documented and effects on the company structure are recorded. This can help achieve the set goals on a scalable basis.

In addition, we take a look into the future. Which components could be affected by the change, does it affect security, and can updates be applied as usual?

WordPress Theme Programming

Theme programming

WordPress theme programming at our company covers the complete spectrum from custom programming to integration of existing PageBuilders, Advanced Custom Fields and Toolset. We program custom WordPress themes to the highest quality standards according to the WordPress Codex.

Do you already have a suitable screen design or is the design already available as HTML? Then we will gladly take over the translation to WordPress. But even if there is no design yet, we will be happy to create it for you.

When implementing the design, you can decide for yourself if you want to use a PageBuilder like Elementor, Divi or WPBakery. Alternatively, we are happy to develop the theme in Gutenberg or with the popular ACF and Toolset plugins. Of course, we will also be happy to advise you on the selection.

In addition, search engine optimization, fast loading times, Responsive Design and the Google Core Web Vitals are part of our repertoire.

Create WordPress plugin

Are you looking for a special feature for your WordPress website that is not currently available as a quality plugin? Then we can help you.

We develop custom WordPress plugins. Whether small functional extensions or complex applications, thanks to our expertise we are the right contact for your project.

All our plugins are seamlessly integrated into the WordPress dashboard, so you can manage all the functionality as usual through WordPress. According to the WordPress Codex, we only access predefined hooks from WordPress to ensure a long-term solution.

All plugins we develop for you can be used on any number of your WordPress projects at any time.

WordPress fast loading times

Fast loading times

Speed is trumps – this is true in almost every industry and is now also taken into account as a factor for the ranking of your website in search engines such as Google, Bing and Co.

Of course, the same applies to your visitors. Especially when accessing a WordPress website on the go, it can quickly become frustrating if you have to wait longer than a few seconds.

So, in order to minimize the bounce rate of your visitors, it is recommended to consider the performance of your website already during WordPress programming.

Increased WordPress security

High security is extremely important for WordPress. This applies to online stores, websites with sensitive data as well as conventional corporate websites.

As WordPress has become the most popular CMS in the world, the number of bots, hackers and spammers has also increased. They try to gain access to the website via security vulnerabilities.

The most common vulnerabilities include cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), PHP object in jections, and SQL injections. We take all of this into account during the implementation of your website to minimize the risk of a security breach.

WordPress security is always our top priority.

WordPress Security
Technical search engine optimization

Technical SEO

The technical SEO of a WordPress website makes up a large part of search engine optimization. For this reason, we make sure in advance during programming that all standards are set and met.

These include meta descriptions and titles, heading hierarchies, image naming, and alt and title tags for links – to name just a few of the factors.

We meet all standards of technical search engine optimization.

Simple operation

We would like to offer our customers the possibility to maintain ready-made plugins, themes and websites themselves. After all, that’s what a content management system is for.

For this reason, when implementing the website, we make sure that you can manage and maintain all content areas of your website easily, quickly and without programming knowledge.

So there is no need to reinvent the wheel. Instead, we rely on ready-made page builders that can be customized to meet your individual needs. We only use systems that are flexible enough to remove modules that are not needed.

This step will keep your website updatable in the long run and allow you to enjoy additional features through plugins.

Simple operation
WordPress Codex

WordPress Codex

A successful, scalable and long-term solution thrives on standardization, a strong foundation and good documentation. Therefore, we create all plugins, themes and website according to the WordPress Codex.

The WordPress Codex is the official documentation of the content management system. This gives you the advantage that the solutions you create with us are not tied to a service provider.

Looking ahead, solutions that adhere to the WordPress Codex are also more durable and easier to maintain.

WordPress programming: project flow

With these 5 steps we ensure an optimal workflow.

01

Planning

A successful project starts with project planning. All details are first determined and documented. What are the objectives? What kind of functions should be developed? How flexible should the frontend/backend be? What hardware is used? Are there any other requests? What risks may arise in the future? Are external resources/interfaces connected? Are there internal processes that need to be considered?

02

Programming

We program your WordPress project. We take into account modern web standards, libraries, repertoires and technologies. The implementation is done on a development environment provided by us. This way we ensure that the production system (your website, if any) is not affected. After programming is complete, we transfer everything to the production system. During the development phase, you can always see the changes “live” if you want.

03

Test phase & optimization

Before a website, plugin or theme can go live, we run several tests to make sure the application works as intended. Errors & bugs are detected and fixed at this stage thanks to our quality guidelines.

04

Release

We take care of the smooth release of the website, plugin or theme. We pay particular attention to keeping any downtime to a minimum. In case of problems, we are of course still ready to intervene as quickly as possible.

05

Debriefing

After the release of the website, we usually conduct a debriefing session. We will go through the project again with you to make sure that your wishes and goals have been realized. Of course, we also want to improve ourselves and hope for constructive criticism from you.
