WordPress is one of the most powerful content management systems for a professional website. WordPress is user-friendly, sets no limits to creativity, is expandable and intuitive.
However, there are countless themes for WordPress, and many customers have already browsed the Internet before commissioning and want a special theme because they are convinced that it suits their company well. This makes it all the more difficult for us web designers – every theme comes with a wide variety of configuration options. Many come with a design system created specifically for their theme. What this means for customers at this point is that the costs of designing a website are becoming significantly more expensive because as web designers we first have to familiarize ourselves with the functions and settings of the theme.
Many agencies have therefore focused on a specific “desired theme”. These are usually so-called multifunctional themes. However, these still have many limitations in creativity.
That's why we chose the world's best WordPress page and theme builder - Elementor!
With more than 5 million active installs worldwide, Elementor is the most used visual drag-and-drop page builder for WordPress. The module setting options are extremely extensive and make it a professional tool for quickly building professional websites and complete themes. With many additional modules from third-party manufacturers, we can realize any design. This makes our work much easier because we only had to familiarize ourselves with one system and can therefore implement or adapt all designs.
To ensure that your great new website is found online, we always include professional on-page optimization in our offer. To ensure that search engine optimization is a success and not a tedious Sisyphean task, there are numerous plugins that provide valuable support. We consciously decided against the (former) top dog Yoast because it is no longer up-to-date and far too expensive. You can find out more about this in this article.
We chose the best tool – Rank Math Pro!
Rank Math is one of the most professional SEO tools for WordPress. In addition to the usual basic settings, Rank Math offers many additional and practical features. These are exactly what most other providers don’t include. And if so, then only in the premium version. It is a fairly new plugin (established in 2018), but has already received many positive reviews. The integration into Elementor alone makes it an indispensable search engine optimization tool for us. The premium version of the plugin is only intended for experienced users and SEO professionals. We only use the premium version of the plugin for our customers.
The website is fully designed and can also be found easily in the search engines. But your visitors wait when you open your website and wait and wait and wait, but not forever, they leave your slow-loading page quite quickly. What happened? Your site has images that are too large, too much content, an overcrowded database, database access that is too slow or a web host that is generally too slow.
Apart from the web host being too slow (of course we would be happy to advise you about changing host), we can significantly reduce the other problems with a plugin.
We use a so-called caching tool for this – WP Rocket!
WP Rocket is one of the best caching plugins for WordPress. It significantly increases the speed of your website and is very easy to use. The plugin is equipped with many other features to optimize the performance of your website. This includes minification (summarization) of CSS files and JavaScript files, database cleaning and image optimization.
This is our strong trio for professional web design. Now you're probably wondering how we contribute to the security of your website? We create a firewall entry in the so-called .htaccess file. Of course, we also pay attention to strong passwords, restricted access rights and security-relevant entries in the configuration files and a specially developed plugin. Daily backups, which are included in our maintenance contracts, still offer the best protection.
