Website functionality relies on its core software: modules, plugins, and components. Over time, this codebase becomes outdated, starts to glitch, and requires replacement. Furthermore, as web technologies rapidly evolve toward greater efficiency and user convenience, legacy solutions quickly lose their relevance, and the system no longer meets growing user needs. To stay ahead of the competition, it is essential to update the platform in line with current market demands. In other words, a website must remain an effective tool that runs flawlessly and facilitates high-quality user engagement.
CMS and Website Architecture Updates: Key Aspects
Our services cover diverse technical tasks for CMS optimization and modification, tailored individually to each project. Modernization typically includes integrating new software solutions, developing flexible product filters, creating additional language versions, and optimizing interactive elements. Comprehensive platform integration with CRM systems, payment gateways, and delivery services, alongside setting up personal user accounts, is configured separately. Updating and expanding this technical baseline is essential for stable website performance, smoother subsequent SEO efforts, and attracting new users.
Any architectural modifications must remain compatible with current PHP versions, the ongoing logic of the online platform, and its layout. Installing the latest software editions also aims to prevent scenarios where outdated, vulnerable code could be breached by hackers. Therefore, scheduled technical updates on the platform are implemented only after a CMS upgrade. When working with a legacy codebase, the feasibility of adding new features is determined solely after a comprehensive evaluation of its current state by a programmer. Furthermore, a system upgrade is impossible if the website's base template has previously undergone deep customization
Work Stages:
| Business Analysis. | |
| Gathering and structuring all project baseline requirements. Generating a list of issues found within the current website edition and developing a step-by-step action plan. | |
| Software Selection. | |
| Sourcing and auditing ready-made solutions to fulfill project requirements, alongside evaluating the technical feasibility of upgrading the current platform. If suitable modules or extensions are unavailable, a technical specification (PRD/TS) is drafted for custom software development. | |
| Preparation. | |
| Cost assessment and a 50% deposit payment. Deploying a full copy of the web resource to a staging server to ensure safe development workflow. | |
| Development and Integration. | |
| Updating the CMS version, writing code, installing, and fully configuring new software components within the staging environment. | |
| Testing. | |
| Comprehensive stability and functional checks for all integrated elements. Final hotfixes and debugging are conducted based on the test results. | |
| Project Handover. | |
| Signing off on completed tasks, balancing the remaining invoice by the client, and deploying the finalized outcome to the client's live hosting. |
