The first thing we ask in the first meeting is: "What is this website supposed to do for you?" The answer decides whether we build on WordPress or Laravel, and how much of it has to be written from scratch.
WordPress or Laravel?
For a company website that presents your services, WordPress with a theme designed for you is usually enough: content is easy to manage and upkeep is cheap. Online stores are built on WooCommerce, with payment gateways, shipping options and order text messages set up.
When the site has to run real business logic, such as a dealer portal, orders with multi-step pricing or a link to your accounting software, Laravel is the better choice and we build the platform for exactly that job.
What we check before handover
Load speed on mobile, correct right-to-left layout and an English version where needed, headings and URLs structured for SEO, the sitemap, forms and text messages, and the security of the admin panel. Training on the admin panel is part of the handover, not an extra.
After launch
A website is not finished on launch day. Plugin updates, backups, fixes and new sections can all stay with us.
