How I approach a WordPress build
The same steps I follow on every project like this one.
- 01Content model first
Map the pages, listings and reusable blocks the business publishes, then decide what is a page, a custom post type or a field.
- 02Theme built to the design
Templates are built from the approved design, responsive and mobile-first, with clean markup instead of shortcode soup.
- 03Editor-friendly admin
Editors get clear fields and blocks, so they can update content, galleries and listings without touching code.
- 04Launch checklist
Speed, SEO basics, forms, SSL, backups and redirects are checked on staging before the site goes live.
