We’ve been working with Kidspot to build their latest commercial blogging platform since late 2012. Rocketmen we’re engaged early on in the architecture and build process to provide the technical know-how, experience, and development to run Australia’s most propular parenting blog.
Rocketmen have a deep knowledge and understanding of WordPress development and WordPress scaling solutions, two integral pieces required to build a high traffic and successful online commercial blog.
There were many challenges and Rocketmen provided consulting and development across:
- Scaling and server stack optimisation
- WordPress & Custom PHP development
- Frontend HTML/CSS development
- Content structure and organisation
- Project workflow, version control and deployment procedures
Rocketmen were there every step of the way, from design, through to build and deployment. With our expertise parenting.kidspot.com.au has proven to be one of Australias most succesful parenting blogs. To achieve this we implemented some cutting edge features and technologies that were suitable to meet the challenges of such a high traffic build, this included:
- NGinx server optimisation
- WordPress custom theme development using a unique MVC approach
- WordPress custom plugin development to bolster and optimise the theme
- HTML5 / CSS3 driven frontend with use of icons fonts / glyphs to keep the site lightweight and lightning fast
- Staging, development, and master environments setup
- Deployment via GIT
We’re proud of what has been achieved and continue to work with Kidspot to bring the best online parenting content Australia has to offer.
