WordPress Development Melbourne

What is WordPress Development

A highly accessible open-source website creation platform with a myriad of plug-in options, Sharp Instincts has intricate knowledge to best achieve WordPress sensations.

WordPress Development refers to the process of coding for a WordPress site or application. WordPress is written in a PHP programming and scripting language to enable it to display dynamic interactive websites. When we are creating a development project, it is written using PHP as the script language. WordPress has become one of the most popular web platforms because it is Open Source. Open Source platforms facilitate global collaboration because the primary source code is “open” and shared amongst users. The other predominant reason WordPress has become so popular is that you don’t have to learn PHP in order to run and manage a WordPress website. WordPress was built as a blogging platform so the Content Management System (CMS) is easy to use and has many readily available plugins that can be setup without any developer knowledge.

With all plugins however there are levels of complexities and complications that come with utilising an off-shelf the solution. Custom WordPress web development will likely give you a better outcome, however this will come at a higher cost. The development allows you to tailor and customise your WordPress website to your business, ensuring you get the best outcome. For example you may want to integrate live appointment bookings, customise your payment facilities, add a tool to calculate pricing estimates or integrate with a third-party website. In all of these scenarios, you will need to undertake WordPress web Development, ideally with experienced developers who have excellent PHP knowledge.

Expertise in WordPress

There are a large pool of WordPress developers in Melbourne. The challenge however is to find high quality, reliable and experienced WordPress Developers who have worked on a large number of projects. Going it alone or using freelancers to plug holes in your website often leaves you with difficulty updating your website, speed and performance issues as well as exposing your code to people you don’t have a relationship with. With internet security being of paramount importance these days, we would suggest you ask any WordPress development company that how will your data and website security be managed.

If you are weighing up a few different competitors whose Web Development you like, Being a leading WordPress web development company, we would suggest looking at the following;

  • Review their portfolio
  • Speak to their existing clients
  • Confirm how they will host your website (if this is applicable)
  • Ask them how to plan to improve page speed
  • Confirm which plugins they use and which they build custom

Plugins are short term solutions

The millions of plugins that are readily available on WordPress often tempt you to just install it for minimal cost as what seems to be an easy solution. The problem with this approach however, is that it results in a short term win, but often, long term pain. Some of those issues we have encountered from clients integrating plugins include;

  • Slowing down the website significantly
  • Breaking the site for future updates
  • Exposing their sites to hacking & security flaws
  • Incompatibility with other third party softwares they are running
  • Ongoing long term costs to run the plugin (e.g. custom forms)
  • Additional customisation required after installing the plugin
  • Server errors resulting from untried plugins
  • Wiping existing data from a website
  • Limiting future customisation or Development
