What needs to be planned first?
The page types and editor workflow need to be planned first. Standard articles, services and products each need suitable templates. Define which content fields editors change and which layout elements remain controlled.
Why do plugins affect the schedule?
Plugins affect the schedule because their behaviour and compatibility need testing. Booking, ecommerce and membership features introduce real workflows, not just visible page elements. Confirm the requirement and the test scenarios before adding an extension.
What belongs in WordPress handover?
WordPress handover includes access, publishing guidance and update responsibilities. Test a routine edit with the person who will maintain the content. Backups and a restoration path need to be in place before launch.
What should you record before making a decision?
Record the requirements and evidence relevant to this question before accepting a proposal. Distinguish the work needed at launch from ongoing responsibilities. A clear written scope gives both the business and the supplier an agreed basis for review.
