Quality Assurance

We always test the display and functionality of your website across the most common browsers, mobile devices, and desktop resolutions. Your team and key stakeholders will also be able to test the website via a demo version, which is accessible via your own computers and devices. While this demo site is more or less a finished product, we’ll provide two further rounds of bug fixes to take care of anything that might not work properly. Lastly page speed testing is performed to ensure fast load times. Our general standard is 2 seconds or faster for optimal user experience.

Site Launch

Before your site is launched into the wild, we offer a screen share training session to your team to instruct on how to manage content in the WordPress CMS, perform basic SEO, and make edits to menus, forms, pages, and meta descriptions. For future reference, you’ll also have access to a library of 50+ training videos that cover the operation and functionality of the back end of your site. Following training and uploading of all unique content we’ll schedule a date for site launch. This process covers 15 standardized checkpoints for launch-critical tasks, including SSL install and configuration, placement of 301 redirects from your old site, sitemap submission via Google Search Console, Google Analytics setup, and more.

Maintenance

Once your website is live our focus shifts to website security. WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world and powers 34% of all websites on the web! This high volume of usage makes an attractive target for hackers and malware attacks. On a monthly basis our development team will install the latest WordPress update (when applicable), tests plugins, and checks compatibility with your WordPress theme in a developer environment. This ensures that any potential conflicts and errors are dealt with before updates are pushed to production (live).

Daily backups are recorded for your website to allow us to rollback the site to full functionality if a member of your team accidentally breaks site functionality, or if the site falls victim to hacking.

Hosting is included free of charge and we use the best-in-class WordPress specific dedicated server to provide secure and reliable performance.

Plugin Management

With thousands of third party plugins available for WordPress, it can be difficult to know which collection of plugins to install on your site.

We always have our ear to the ground for the latest plugins available, and have a preferred suite of plugins we use when building custom WordPress themes. Let us take care of the sometimes confusing process of managing plugin updates and functionality overlap.

Security

As the most popular content management system on the Internet, WordPress is often a target for spam, hacks, and security breaches.

When partnering with Sayenko Design, you can rest assured that we will always have the latest updates to WordPress in place to combat security risks. We also manage hosting directly and can work with your company to properly protect the sensitive customer and business data that passes through your website.

Customization and Responsive Design

Nearly all WordPress themes these days are mobile-friendly and responsive. However, this doesn’t mean they are all properly optimized.

Hate visiting a website on your phone and seeing elements overlap or improperly displayed? We provide testing for each major device type and browser to ensure your well crafted web pages are showing as they are intended to. We’ll work with your team to customize your design to meet your unique brand standards and color palette, while incorporating the latest web design trends and interactive elements/features.

SEO & Digital Strategy

We believe that web development should always be tailored to the unique persona of our client and their customers.

Our team will work in a collaborative process with you to ensure we fully understand your business, and your customer demographic, before the first line of code is written. We offer digital strategy services that works to connect customer personas to specific elements of your website, provide quantifiable conversion goals for analytics, and map keywords to site architecture and metadata.
