A stunning website is a crucial company element to optimize the product sale because a website is often the first aspect which is consulted before a customer decides to make an appeal to a company. The customer judged the PSD to Wordpress process equally important as the website’s design because a website not only requires a stunning lay-out but also a smooth management and functionality. Wordpress to CMS as underlying admin system was a conscious choice because the adding of new content and the adjustment of existing content would be a piece of cake. Besides we also opted for a dynamic homepage slider with parallax effects which looks like all different slider elements are moving on its own.
A website for delicious drinks
Bevenco, based in the province of Zeeland in the Southwest of the Netherlands, has been active for many years. The company owners have always been passionate about refreshing drinks and therefore they decided to found the company Bevenco in 2010, a company which now imports delicious and healthy drinks to The Netherlands. They started with a fairly simple website but pretty soon they realized a more stunning website was needed and they decided to appeal to a professional design company to build their new website. Upon completion the owners had various PSD files but they still lacked a fully functional website. Having some Wordpress experience they decided to hire a PSD to Wordpress company to complete the conversion. Quickly we came to a mutual agreement about the details and the costs of the project. The starting shot for our PSD to Wordpress developers to start the Photoshop file conversion.
Delighted developers
Our developers are passionate about their job and are delighted to take up layered PSD-files and convert them into a fully functional Wordpress website. As always they also started this new PSD to Wordpress project with excitement and enthusiasm. A logic first step in the process is the so-called Photoshop file slicing. This is in fact the process of cutting all PSD files into small pieces. As soon as all files have been sliced, the developer can start developing the HTML code creating a clear basic structure and optimizing the HTML for SEO purposes. Upon completion of the HTML and W3C validity the developers started styling the website. Without this styling exercise webpages would be displayed as a bunch of texts and codes, not the way it should be. After completing the style phase we were ready to start developing the parallax slider. To realize this specific task our company is proud to employ a unique parallax expert who has created various parallax effects. Our developer takes into account parallax effects aren’t supported by all devices and therefore non-supportive devices will display the slider as a normal slider. The beauty of the parallax slider can be admired in the live version of this website. It has been tested within various browsers to ensure its full browser compatibility. As soon as the browser compatibility proved satisfactory it was time to start the Wordpress into HTML integration.
The Wordpress theme realization
It’s time for a new phase in the PSD to Wordpress process; the actual conversion of the created HTML files into a fully functional Wordpress theme. This might sound easy but in reality it is a very challenging task because the complete HTML code needs to be be reworked, resulting in a completely different HTML code. The big benefit of this complete revamp lies in the fact the Wordpress theme can be easily selected in the admin panel after which the files can be dynamically used by Wordpress and the adding or adjusting of pages and content is a piece of cake requiring no HTML, CSS, Javascript or PHP knowledge at all. When the client had provided his server details and we installed the complete website on his server we requested his feedback. Some valid client feedback was provided which was taken away and implemented in the blink of an eye making sure the deadline was met. In the end we had a stunning website with a beautiful parallax slider and a customer who was happy everything could be easily updated. Once again a satisfactory PSD to Wordpress project!
