WordPress maintenance for an architecture practice.
We support Z Architecture’s WordPress website: updates after backups, display fixes and checks of project pages and the homepage slider.
The starting point
The project context.
An architecture practice’s website carries its image and projects. Work needs to preserve portfolio pages, the homepage slider, forms, legal notice and mobile display while keeping WordPress and its plugins supported.
The challenges
What needed to be addressed.
- 01
Working on an existing foundation
The website uses WordPress, Bridge, WPBakery and Slider Revolution. A poorly targeted fix can affect project pages, the slider or mobile display.
- 02
Fixing without interrupting the website
Requests concerned visible issues: footer, iPhone display, mobile spacing on a project page and a slider shortcode appearing after an update.
- 03
Maintaining a sensitive foundation
WordPress and plugin updates need prior backups and subsequent checks of key pages.
What we did
The work, step by step.
Performed an initial audit of the website, plugins, updates, footer, GDPR compliance monitoring, cookies and tracking scripts.
Backed up files and database before significant work, with rollback folders.
Updated WordPress and plugins including Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, UpdraftPlus, Really Simple Security, Slider Revolution, WP Super Cache and other supported components.
Fixed mobile display on the Decathlon project page: removed overlap between the heading and first image, with before-and-after measurements.
Reactivated and checked the homepage slider after a shortcode appeared as plain text.
Corrected display and configuration: footer, footer logo, number display on iPhone, local fonts and cookie banner.
Verified pages critical to the practice’s image and contact: home, projects, references, blog and contact.
Performed a targeted check of Wordfence/WAF status after a client alert.
Under the hood
The technical choices.
WordPress / Bridge
The website uses WordPress, the Bridge theme, WPBakery and Slider Revolution. Work takes these dependencies into account to avoid breaking public display.
Managed maintenance
Significant work is prepared with file and database backups, a technical inventory, gradual updates and checks of pages important for the portfolio and contact.
Targeted fixes
Fixes are applied at the appropriate level: CSS, plugin, WordPress option or theme file when needed, with a rollback option.
For visitors
What you find when you arrive.
- 01
A portfolio to preserve
The website highlights the practice’s projects. Work therefore prioritises stable project pages, visuals and the homepage slider.
- 02
Contact points to keep reliable
The journey needs to keep contact details, the contact page, practice information and legal notice accessible.
- 03
A supported WordPress foundation
Plugins essential to public display are identified, activated when needed and checked after updates.
Who visits, and why
Agency clients
View projects, understand the practice’s style and find contact details without encountering visible errors.
Internal team
