WordPress Development

What is included in the price for implementation?

In the standard theme price we include the default WordPress blog functionality:

  • Latest posts page
  • Category and tag archive pages
  • Static pages template
  • Single post template with comments section
  • Dynamic sidebar (based on widgets section in the WordPress administration)
  • Dynamic menu
  • Styling of the default WordPress widgets (categories list, tag cloud, etc.)

We can also create WordPress theme that utilizes advanced WordPress CMS features (custom post types, custom taxonomies, plugins customization, etc.), however this is considered as custom work, so we provide a custom quote for the particular project.

What do you mean by WordPress integration? Do you create a WordPress site or a combo of WordPress and HTML/CSS?

Usually we deliver just the WordPress theme code unless our client requests the static HTML files explicitly. Upon request we can provide an archive with the static files used for creating the WordPress theme. Please note that any changes requested to the WordPress site won't be applied to the static version of the files.

Can you help with the installation?

Sure. We need the following details in order to install the theme on your server:

  1. FTP or SFTP credentials (host, username, password, target directory)
  2. URL address of the new installation
  3. MySQL database login credentials (hostname, username, password and database name)

We can also install WordPress using other methods (e.g. remote desktop, VPN).

Please note that we don't require hosting control panel or phpMyAdmin access for installation purposes.

What exactly does "WordPress Integration" involve? Do you return code as a ready to install theme?

We deliver an archive of the complete WordPress site. The archive includes:

  1. The theme files
  2. Any plugins that were required by your project
  3. XML export file with example content from the testing installation on our staging server
  4. Any files uploaded during the initial theme development and associated with the example content
  5. MySQL dump file
  6. Read-me file that explains how to install and use your site
Can you create a theme from the existing markup?

We'll review the HTML and let you know whether there are problems with the code that should be addressed before proceeding to WordPress theme creation. We'll provide you with separate quote for addressing the issues with your code.

Do you support the theme on an ongoing basis after its creation?

We fix any bugs and tweak minor details free of charge, forever. Changes and additions, out of the scope of the initial requirements are quoted separately.

Do you do WordPress customization? I have an existing site and I need custom work done.

Yes. We do custom WordPress work. Please send us a message and we'll gladly review your requirements and get back to you with a quote for the work.

Can you integrate eCommerce in my site?

Yes. We have experience in several WordPress eCommerce plugins and we don't mind learning a new one.

Can you build custom eCommerce sites?

Yes, we can. We'll need design mock ups, detailed requirements for the front-end and back-end functionality in order to provide you with an accurate price and time line for the project.

Can I populate the content of my site on your server? Will you migrate the content for me once I'm ready to move over to production server?

Yes. You can safely populate your site's content on our staging server. We won't charge you extra for migrating your content to another server as part of the site installation process.

Will I be able to upgrade my WordPress if I use your theme?

We follow the best practices for WordPress theme development:

  1. We never touch core WordPress files
  2. We use WordPress plugin API for modifying the administration panel behaviour
  3. We don't use deprecated WordPress functions and features
