WordPress Content Management System
We work with WordPress to give you complete and easy control over the management of the content on your website.
Although WordPress was originally created as a system to allow ‘non-techies’ the ability to create online blogs from a selection of template themes, it has progressed to be much more than this today, powering 13% of the worlds one million biggest websites!
These days there are thousands of standard themes to choose from, but as seasoned website designers and developers we can create a bespoke design, based on your brand identity and use WordPress to effectively run the site. This means that every website we design is completely tailor made to each project we work on – there are no standard templates in use here!
The system is open-source software, developed in PHP and MySQL – languages our development team are more than proficient in which means that if a widget doesn’t work exactly as you need it to, we can use one as a basis and then mould it to match your exact requirements.
WordPress Features
Managing Your Content:
Pages
The Pages section of your control panel offers easy control over all your site pages allowing you to add, edit or delete text, images, documents and hyperlinks to other webpages or sites.
Posts
As well as allowing you to update your blog, this section of the system is often used to manage specific elements throughout your site, maybe a ‘hot links’ area on your home page or individual advertising banners. Posts can also be configured to allow visitors to your site to leave comments (moderated by you of course) on your posts.
Widgets
Widgets are a collection of online ‘gadgets’ that allow people with a low technical knowledge to be able to manage and customise certain elements of their website without having to go through the coding process. There are literally thousands of widgets available for a wide range of uses – from building online forms, through managing your navigation menus to automating a Twitter feed.
Plugins
Plugins are pieces of software designed to add functionality to your WordPress site. There are thousands of plugins for a range of uses and more are being added by new developers all the time.
Protecting Your Site:
Spam Protection
WordPress includes some incredibly robust tools to help manage and eliminate spam through the commenting system. Again, there are a large number of plugins available to choose from to take this to another level. We will work out the best way of achieving your requirements as soon as we receive your completed questionnaire.
User Registration & Management
WordPress includes an integrated user registration system that we can configure to allow people to register and maintain their profiles. With this in place, we can then setup the system to allow users to post the comments described above. We can even setup the system so to allow up to ten individual levels of users, each of these can be configured to allow different levels of access to the administration of the site including publishing, editing and more.
Password Protection
We can assign passwords to specific pages or posts so that nobody can view them without the correct user access credentials.
Fully standards compliant
WordPress have gone to extraordinary measures to ensure that all code that is generated by the system is fully compliant with W3C standards. This means that your site will operate on all modern browsers and also helps to future proof your site with new technology as and when it arrives.
There’s much more, but these are the highlights. If there’s something that you really want, submit a request on our contact form below and if it isn’t already covered in our standard costs, we will give you a price to create it for you!
