Case Study: Pulsion’s Collaboration With Accourt

Pulsion had the opportunity to spearhead a groundbreaking overhaul project for one of the UK’s biggest financial institutions, Accourt. The previously outdated and ill-performing Fraud Management system built on a SharePoint foundation had multiple challenges, some including a lack of scalability, user interface defects, and failed reporting. So, Pulsion’s dedicated teams implemented an avante-garde serverless solution hosted by our trusted Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner. The robust, cost-effective, and scalable replacement immediately revolutionised how Accourt’s customers interacted with their system.

Our dedicated team’s AWS serverless architecture provided scalability, enhanced overall system reliability across multiple availability zones, eliminated maintenance issues, and reduced infrastructure costs. Today, Accourt’s new serverless system handles 20,0000 transactions and accommodates over 2,000 users monthly without setbacks. The forefront system also passed multiple independent audits to highlight our team’s dedication and commitment to delivering optimal-quality products. Accourt’s Managing Partner, Vaughan Collie, continues to praise the system’s outcomes, robustness, and optimised efficiency.

Venturing into hiring dedicated WordPress resources for the first time can be daunting. To guide you through this process, here’s a concise checklist of crucial steps to follow:

 

Step 1 – Analyse Your Business Needs and Define Your Project Scope

Clearly outline your WordPress project’s requirements, objectives, and expected outcomes. Understanding the scope will help you identify the skills and expertise needed in your dedicated team.

Step 2 – Find and Interview Vendors Using Platforms and Research Potential Partners

Look for reputable agencies or freelancers with a proven track record in WordPress development. Check their portfolios, client testimonials, and case studies.

Step 3 – Check Recent Developments and Evaluate Technical Skills

Assess the technical competencies of potential team members. Ensure they have experience with WordPress themes, plugins, customizations, and the latest WordPress trends and technologies.

Step 4 – Consider Communication Skills

Effective communication is key to a successful collaboration. Evaluate their ability to communicate ideas clearly and their proficiency in your preferred language.

Step 5 – Discuss Availability and Time Zones

Ensure the dedicated team’s availability aligns with your project timeline. Consider time zone differences and how they might impact collaboration.

Step 6 – Understand Their Workflow and Tools

Familiarise yourself with the team’s development workflow, project management tools, and collaboration platforms to ensure compatibility with your processes.

Step 7 – Clarify Legal and Financial Terms

Discuss and agree on contracts, non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), payment terms, and other legal and financial details to ensure transparency and protect your interests.

Step 8 – Set Up Regular Check-ins

Establish a schedule for regular updates and feedback sessions to keep the project on track and address any issues promptly.

When engaging with a dedicated WordPress development company, it’s crucial to first convey your business objectives with precision and clarity. Continuously gauge if the team comprehends your goals, urging them to seek further clarification if needed. Scrutinise the proposed developers’ expertise in WordPress, probing into their previous successes and experiences. Additionally, delve into their historical performance and, where feasible, secure references to validate their claims.

By the conclusion of the interview, you should have unequivocally communicated your requirements and gained a comprehensive understanding of how the WordPress development company intends to fulfill your objectives efficiently and to a high standard.

Hire dedicated teams by avoiding the most common mistakes. Amateurs cost much less than dedicated developers or designers in the short term but more in the long run. You might have to fix mistakes, remove unnecessary plugins, or rewrite code an underskilled developer used for your website.

Don’t compromise quality and value for a cheaper developer. Instead, hire someone who makes you feel confident. Also, don’t hire more dedicated developers than necessary. A trusted company won’t add more designers and developers than your project needs.

By recognizing these scenarios, you can make an informed decision to hire dedicated WordPress developers, ensuring your project is executed with the highest level of expertise and efficiency.

Suitability and Choices

WordPress development is the practice of building software, a website, or a custom website with WordPress. WordPress developers use an open-source platform to design, build, develop, and maintain some of the most popular websites and software systems.

The WordPress market share shows that there are 1.98 billion WordPress-based websites on the internet as of 2024. WordPress development involves designing the back and front-end stacks for full-stack software or website development.

WordPress is one of the most widely used open-source platforms to get blogs, websites, and services online while letting developers easily manage the system from any computer. WordPress usage is also the leading open-source resource in the US, UK, Germany, France, and Brazil in 2024.

While WordPress is a highly versatile and popular content management system, there are certain scenarios where it might not be the most suitable choice for development:

  1. High-Performance, High-Traffic Applications:
    • Reason: WordPress can handle a significant amount of traffic, but for extremely high-performance applications with millions of users or very high real-time data processing needs, more specialized platforms like custom-built solutions using Node.js, Django, or other frameworks might be more suitable.
    • Example: Social media platforms, real-time trading systems.
  2. Highly Customized Web Applications:
    • Reason: While WordPress is flexible, there are limits to its customization capabilities without extensive plugin development, which can lead to a complex, unwieldy setup.
    • Example: Complex enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, custom SaaS applications.
  3. Complex Database Relationships:
    • Reason: WordPress is designed primarily for content management and not for complex relational databases. It uses a simple table structure that might not be suitable for applications requiring intricate relationships between various data entities.
    • Example: Advanced customer relationship management (CRM) systems, financial applications with complex data models.
  4. Security-Intensive Applications:
    • Reason: While WordPress can be secured, it is also a common target for attacks due to its popularity. Applications requiring very high levels of security might benefit from more specialized frameworks that offer robust security features out of the box.
    • Example: Banking applications, confidential healthcare systems.
  5. Non-Standard Content Requirements:
    • Reason: WordPress excels at managing standard content types like posts and pages, but for applications with highly non-standard content requirements, a more flexible framework might be needed.
    • Example: Custom video streaming services, highly interactive web applications.
  6. Microservices Architecture:
    • Reason: WordPress is monolithic and not ideally suited for microservices architecture, where the application is divided into smaller, independent services that communicate with each other.
    • Example: Large-scale enterprise applications with multiple interconnected services.
  7. Scalability Concerns:
    • Reason: While WordPress can scale, it may not be as efficient or straightforward to scale as applications built on frameworks designed for distributed systems.
    • Example: Large e-commerce platforms with thousands of concurrent transactions.
  8. Headless CMS Requirements:
    • Reason: Although WordPress can be used as a headless CMS, there are other platforms specifically designed for this purpose that might offer better performance and flexibility.
    • Example: Contentful, Strapi.
  9. Performance-Critical Applications:
    • Reason: For applications where every millisecond counts, such as real-time gaming or financial trading platforms, WordPress might not provide the performance needed.
    • Example: High-frequency trading platforms, real-time multiplayer games.

WordPress can be a good choice for certain types of app development, particularly when the app’s core functionality aligns with the strengths of the WordPress platform. Here are scenarios where WordPress is a suitable choice for app development, along with some limitations:

Suitable Scenarios for WordPress App Development
  1. Content-Driven Apps:
    • Example: Blogging apps, news portals, and content aggregation platforms.
    • Reason: WordPress is designed for managing content and has robust features for creating, organizing, and displaying content.
  2. E-commerce Apps:
    • Example: Online stores, marketplace apps.
    • Reason: With plugins like WooCommerce, WordPress can be turned into a powerful e-commerce platform, suitable for a wide range of online shopping applications.
  3. Membership and Subscription Apps:
    • Example: Online communities, subscription-based services.
    • Reason: Plugins like MemberPress and Restrict Content Pro can add membership and subscription capabilities to WordPress, making it easy to manage user accounts and access levels.
  4. Directory and Listing Apps:
    • Example: Business directories, real estate listings.
    • Reason: Plugins like GeoDirectory and WP Job Manager enable the creation of complex directory and listing websites, which can be extended into mobile apps.
  5. Learning Management Systems (LMS):
    • Example: Online education platforms, course management apps.
    • Reason: Plugins like LearnDash and LifterLMS provide robust tools for creating and managing online courses and educational content.
  6. Simple Web Apps:
    • Example: Event management apps, portfolio websites.
    • Reason: WordPress’s flexibility and large plugin ecosystem can accommodate the needs of simple web applications with standard features.
Limitations of WordPress for App Development
  1. Performance Concerns:
    • Limitation: WordPress can become slow and resource-intensive, especially with many plugins and complex customizations.
    • Alternative: For high-performance needs, consider frameworks like Django, Node.js, or Ruby on Rails.
  2. Scalability Issues:
    • Limitation: Scaling WordPress for very high-traffic applications can be challenging and may require extensive optimization and infrastructure support.
    • Alternative: Use platforms designed for scalability, like AWS Lambda for serverless applications, or specialized frameworks.
  3. Complex Custom Functionality:
    • Limitation: Implementing highly customized features might require extensive plugin development, which can be complex and costly.
    • Alternative: For highly customized apps, consider building with frameworks like React Native for mobile apps or Angular for web apps.
  4. Security Concerns:
    • Limitation: Due to its popularity, WordPress is a common target for attacks. Ensuring robust security requires constant vigilance and best practices.
    • Alternative: Use more security-focused platforms or custom-built solutions for applications with stringent security requirements.
  5. Microservices Architecture:
    • Limitation: WordPress is monolithic and not well-suited for microservices architectures where different components of the application need to operate independently.
    • Alternative: Use platforms like Kubernetes or Docker to build and manage microservices-based applications.
  6. Real-Time Data Processing:
    • Limitation: WordPress is not designed for real-time data processing or applications requiring high-speed data transactions.
    • Alternative: Consider using Node.js or other real-time frameworks for such needs.

WordPress is a versatile platform used to build a variety of applications beyond traditional websites. Here are some examples of apps built with WordPress, showcasing its flexibility and wide range of use cases:
