How To Become Better With Outsourcing WordPress Development In 10 Minutes

Understanding the Challenges of Outsourcing WordPress Development

Outsourcing WordPress development can seem like a good idea for growing your business without hiring more staff. However, many companies face common problems that can create challenges in outsourcing WordPress development related work.

Let us understand some key issues here:

1. Language Barriers:

   • Misinterpretation of Technical Requirements

     The most common challenge when outsourcing WordPress development is that it can lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations of technical requirements, resulting in developers implementing features or functionalities incorrectly.

   • Limited Availability of Bilingual Project Managers

     Another significant constraint is finding bilingual project managers who are proficient in both the agency’s language and the language of the outsourcing team can be challenging, resulting in communication gaps and difficulties in project management.

2. Attention to details:

   • Ensuring UI/UX Alignment

     When outsourcing WordPress development, it can be tough to ensure that the external team follows detailed mockups focused on user interface (UI) and user experience (UX). Simplifying the communication of brand identity and UI/UX requirements is essential to guarantee a seamless user experience on the final website.

   • Navigating Site Structure Complexity

     Another challenge lies in managing the complexity of site structure planning. This includes ensuring that the outsourced team understands the logical organization of content, creates automatic navigation menus, optimizes page hierarchy, and maintains consistency in layout across different sections of the website. Successfully addressing these challenges is important for enhancing usability and ensuring a positive user experience.

3. Code Quality:

   • Risk of Ignoring WordPress Coding Standards

     When you hire outsourced developers to work on your WordPress project, it’s important to keep in mind that they may not be familiar with the platform’s specific coding standards. This lack of knowledge can result in code that doesn’t meet WordPress guidelines and may cause compatibility issues or security vulnerabilities. Therefore, it’s crucial to ensure that the developers you hire are skilled and experienced in WordPress development to avoid any potential issues down the road.

   • Performance and Optimization Issues

     When outsourcing WordPress development, the risk arises that developers may not prioritize performance optimization techniques or may implement inefficient code that affects the speed and scalability of the WordPress site. This can result in slower page load times and higher server resource usage, and sometimes it also causes poor user experience.

Here is how Vardaam transforms these challenges into strengths

At Vardaam Web Solutions, we’ve been helping businesses for over 13 years by going above and beyond their expectations. Here’s how we deal with these challenges of outsourcing:

1. Overcoming Language Barriers:

   • Clear Communication Channels

     We implement a comprehensive requirement-gathering process, ensuring that all technical specifications are documented and understood by both the client and the development team. This precise approach minimizes the risk of misinterpreting technical requirements, leading to the accurate implementation of features and functionalities. Moreover, our team has bilingual project managers and developers who are proficient in English, eliminating language barriers and improving communication.

   • Global Understanding

     Our project briefs are clear and concise, free of idiomatic expressions and slang. Moreover, we encourage open communication channels where our outsourcing team can freely ask for clarification when encountering unfamiliar terms or expressions, supporting a collaborative environment that promotes understanding and accuracy in project implementation.

2. Details-driven approach:

   • Mockups with Attention to UI/UX

     Vardaam addresses the challenge of ensuring UI/UX alignment by utilizing industry-leading tools and techniques to convert detailed mockups into pixel-perfect designs. We utilize licensed design software and frameworks to exactly implement brand identity and UI/UX requirements,ensuring a seamless user experience on the final website. Our team pays thorough attention to details in the placement of elements, consistency in design elements, typography, and color schemes.

   • OvercomingSimplified Website Navigation for User-Friendly Experience

     We utilize hierarchical content organization techniques to establish clear relationships between different sections of the website. Through parent-child relationships and hierarchical menus, we create automatic navigation pathways that guide users seamlessly through the site. Furthermore, we use custom menu walkers and theme integration to make menus that automatically adjust to changes in site structure or content hierarchy.

3. Optimal Code Quality:

   • Ensuring Code Consistency and Compatibility

     To get the best from WordPress projects, the WordPress team has developed an entire website sharing their coding standards, know-hows and code snippets i.e.: https://codex.wordpress.org. The objective to stick to it or make all or max use of it, helps in getting the best work from WordPress CMS. This helps in getting the entire project developed quickly, efficiently, with providing best security and easy to update code base. We tackle the challenge of maintaining code quality in WordPress development by strictly sticking to these coding standards. Our team carefully follows these guidelines to ensure the compatibility and maintainability of the codebase.

   • Implementation of SOLID and DRY Principles

     At Vardaam, we emphasize the use of SOLID (Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion) and DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principles in our coding approach. This ensures that our code is well-structured, modular, and maintainable, leading to improved code quality and performance optimization.

4. Swift Turnaround Times:

   Vardaam strategically appoints project managers who have grown from within as developers, possessing both technical expertise and functional insights. These techno-functional combinations make managers efficient in serving as a great team builder and bridge between our team and clients, speeding up processes to reduce turnaround times and ensure efficient task completion despite time zone differences.
