Over the past several months, Buink has been diligently working on enhancing and maintaining the Huntington Dental marketing website, showcasing our expertise in a variety of technologies and skills. Let’s delve into the journey:
Theme Exploration for Future Enhancements
Dedicated time was invested in theme research, ensuring that we identified and implemented the most suitable WordPress theme for our client’s unique needs. Communication and collaboration were key throughout this process, as we meticulously reviewed themes and developed comprehensive subtask plans. Pre-built themes can lower the cost of websites dramatically.
Custom Photography
We collaborated with a local photographer to get our client high quality photos of the outside and inside of their location. The photos allowed us to create an office tour to help people feel at home even before they arrive.
Environment Setup
The project commenced with the crucial task of setting up the development environment. This included accessing and downloading necessary files, configuring data for Docker locally, and integrating Docker into the project for streamlined file execution. Attention to version control and container naming was paramount, and the staging environment was meticulously established and tested locally before pushing final files to the base repository.
Client Onboarding and Team Collaboration
As we embarked on the project, time was devoted to onboarding the client, setting up project structures, and ensuring synchronization between project management tools like Toggle and Trello. Collaborative efforts were evident in team calls and meetings with Nathan, Trine, and Heather, reinforcing effective communication channels and gaining access to essential resources like WordPress sites.
Theme Implementation for Aesthetic Appeal
The heart of the project lies in the theme implementation. Carefully reviewing theme features and documentation, our team activated the theme on the QA environment, ensuring a seamless transition from development to testing. A comprehensive subtask plan guided our implementation process, covering everything from downloading and implementing the demo to thorough testing and theme upload.
Crafting the Homepage Experience
The homepage, a critical component, underwent a meticulous implementation process. Our team added diverse content, integrated a payment button into the header, included captivating photos, and seamlessly integrated social links and testimonials. Addressing bugs and client requests in real-time, we navigated challenges with finesse, ensuring the site not only met but exceeded client expectations.
QA Site Setup and Live Launch
Quality assurance is non-negotiable. We meticulously deployed the latest code to the QA site, extensively testing themes and functionalities. Launching the live site was a culmination of efforts, involving tasks such as adding a favicon, copying the site, pointing the domain, and rigorously testing every element to guarantee a flawless user experience.
Ongoing Updates and Support
Our commitment to perfection doesn’t end with the launch. Regular updates and enhancements, such as adding features to the photo tour, changing images, and addressing user feedback, ensure that the Huntington Dental marketing website remains dynamic and responsive.
In summary, the Buink team’s journey with Huntington Dental showcases not just technical prowess but a commitment to understanding and realizing our client’s vision. From initial setup to theme implementation, homepage development, QA, and ongoing updates, every step is a testament to our dedication to excellence in web development. We look forward to the opportunity to bring your unique vision to life.
