Developing Custom WordPress Sites for Franchise and Corporate Themes
Client Requirement
The client approached us to develop two custom WordPress sites within a tight timeframe of just one month. The project involved creating a franchise theme site and a corporate theme site. The corporate site required a professional structure, while the franchise site needed a reusable framework to support multiple franchises. Both sites required specific functionalities, including a zip code search feature to help users find nearby franchises and a map integration to showcase all nearby plumber locations. The client provided initial designs through Figma.
Solution
Given the client’s specific requirements, we utilized WordPress as the core platform for development due to its inherent flexibility and scalability. The franchise theme was built with a modular approach, allowing for reuse across multiple franchise locations. The corporate theme was developed to reflect a sleek, professional appearance in line with the client’s business objectives.
In addition to fulfilling the basic requirements, we incorporated the following key functionalities to enhance user experience and streamline operations :
Navigation Menu : A clear and accessible navigation menu that enhances user experience.
Zip Code Search :Enables users to easily find nearby plumber franchises based on their location.
Embedded Map : Integration of maps to provide visibility of all nearby plumber franchises.
