Building Client-Proof WordPress Websites
It
feels go good when we complete the client's website development project and
handled them. This movement gives a lot of satisfaction. You must be providing
pixel-perfect rendering and you consider it that it performs well to get the
company's success.
But, if
you have given complete control to your client and they are managing their own
content, it is possible that these pixels will not work perfectly after a few
days or years. You will be able to find that all layouts and typography which
was previously crafted beautifully are totally disturbed and rendered. Plus the
accessibility of color contrasts becomes illegible.
For so
many years this process or this situation was considered to be natural that
takes place after the website gets old or outdated. Thus you delivered the
fully functional and awesome looking website and they make it a little messy
and functional.
With
some creative knowledge and technical stuff, you can make sure this situation
never occurs. You can avoid this situation by creating a WordPress website that
will stand in the crowd little efforts is what you want to take.
Assign the roles and capabilities
One of
the best and simple ways to avoid such a situation is to give limited but
useful access to your client. WordPress gives you an opportunity to decide the
role and capabilities to prevent the website from such problems. It is a good
option to give complete administrator-level access to the website owners but at
some extend it will good give the desired result because by giving
administrative access you will give permission to them to change anything that
they want to that can result in serious damage.
This
type of access is not necessary for them as it does not include everyday tasks
to do. Whereas editor account access can be provided that give required access
and makes the website secure from any future damage.
If some
of the users looking for more access then you can provide custom user role
access. And this is enough.
For content make design decisions
Most of
the developers or design does a common mistake by building an element that
depends on good faith. This is the biggest reason for making a website slow
down.
However,
you can showcase the latest blog posts by considering the card UI layout. With
so many ways you can create this feature and functionality.
You can
set some things so that your client can add a description to the post with the
help of the custom field. If they are adding so much text into that field then
you can restrict them by showing a message they have excited the limit, etc.
you can set safeguards so that it will create a post description automatically
from the template. In safeguard, you can set the limit to the field of the
description so that it will permit the client to add their own content without
exciting the limit.
Limit Choices
Some
part of WordPress is complex that cannot do by the client as it required
technical knowledge. There is some alternative solution for enhancing
functionality such as WordPress themes
and plugins are there.
With
page builder plugin one can customize the complete website without writing a
technical code. They can change the website's layout and can increase their
presence visually.
But
some page builders are limited with the functionality they also provide limited
user roles that can be helpful for a client. With the editor, they can apply
changes on color and fonts.
Think twice before creating
This is
the most important part. Before creating and adding any functionality on the
website think twice to add functionality that is manageable by a client which
will never give a problem
