Moving To WordPress
Here is a step by step process on how we approach an existing WordPress website that is getting a complete redesign.
The first step is to back up the existing WordPress site, this includes backing up the database and the site files. In other cases, this may not be necessary if the old site has no importance in terms of traffic and ranking. In this case, we will simply take appropriate content from the front end to use as a reference for the new platform. For backing up a website database we request access to the PHP MyAdmin panel. Most hosting providers have this utility in relation to WordPress.
The second step we take is to look at the cached URLs of the existing site and take a record of these. The URLs can be assessed for rank value and those that are significant are kept in place on the new site provided there is no domain name change.
A third step can be a transfer of hosting over to a better host provider. In cases where the current hosting provider of a WordPress site is holding back on the site performance and future functions than a transfer are initiated on the recommendation. We can guide clients on how this process. Generally, this is a straight forward affair and time-wise can take a day or two for a.ie domain and typically five days for a .com to transfer over.
CMS Integration
WordPress has a built in content management system. What we can do is extend this with intuitive visual orientated page editor.
Editor
Making edits to your WordPress site in a way that is intuitive and easily transferable to others in an organisation is something we are conscious of. This is why available open source free and pro page editors get integrated into every site we develop.
