WordPress Websites

I integrate web designs into the WordPress platform by customizing out-of-the-box or child themes.

Functionality, Maintenance, and Security


Plugins

WordPress "plugins" instantly add features to a website, including slideshows, shopping carts, and booking systems. Plugins also provide administrative tools such as calendars, contact databases, and analytics.

Updates

Open-source CMS platforms, including WordPress, require regular updates to help prevent hacking, keep up with ever-changing web standards, upload theme changes, and ensure plugin compatibility with core files.

Backups

Managing a WordPress website requires regular backups of its database, especially before version, theme, or plugin updates. If an update breaks a website, a developer can reinstall the latest working version.

Compatibility

  • child-theme development (custom templates)
  • browser-operating system testing
  • WordPress version and theme updates
  • plugin integration

WordPress Training

I enjoy teaching colleagues and content creators how to make updates and post content that is optimized for both search and users.

Content Creation

With guidance and practice, teams can easily collaborate on and publish pages and posts that meet accessibility guidelines.

It is crucial that content creators understand the basics of digital accessibility.

CMS Basics

  • how to use headings in a hierarchical order
  • how to optimize a page or post for users and search engines, including keyword placement in URLs, metadata, titles, headings, text, and images
  • how to resize and optimize images
  • how to lay out content to improve the user experience
