Editor's Notes
- At WP Engine, we’ve assembled a suite of best-of-breed development tools that help you work quickly and efficiently--tools that make your life as a developer easier and save you time at each stage of the development process. In this live webinar, we’ll discuss: Why WordPress is the best framework for developing killer websites Setting up your ideal workflow with WP Engine A walk through of WP Engine’s suite of tools designed specifically for developers
- Today we’ll talk about what makes developing the WP Engine platform easy and flexible. We’ll talk about tools that will help you at every stage of the development lifesycle: from setup, developing, laucning and maintaining sites on wpengine. We’ll have some closing thoughts and then open up the floor to Q&A
- As a developer, you want flexibility. You have a job to do, and you want to do it effectively and as efficiently as possible; and you want a platform that empowers you. WordPress delivers the ideal framework on which to build killer websites—it’s flexible, it’s open source, and it’s highly customizable. There is a plethora of plugins and themes that extend WordPress and add any functionality you could dream of. It’s kept up to date by a vast community, and new features, bug fixes, and security patches are rolled out frequently. It’s also the most widely used CMS on the web—WordPress has more than 60 percent of the CMS market share and powers over 24% of the internet. At WP Engine, we aspire to be the managed WordPress platform of choice for developers. We’ve assembled a suite of best-in-class development tools that help you work quickly and efficiently—tools that make your life as a developer easier and save you time at each stage of the development process. And we don’t try to pigeonhole you into our workflow, we offer tools and services you can use in your workflow, so you can develop on your terms and how you’re comfortable. That, coupled with our managed platform and best-in-class support team, we help save you time and work more efficiently. During this webinar, we’ll talk about some of the common WordPress development workflows and highlight the tools WP Engine offers developers to make your lives easier throughout the development process.
- The way that we are going to frame our discussion today is in terms of the Development lifecycle. It looks kind of like a race track. First you have the setup (getting on the track) then the development step which could be new development or edits to existing sites, then comes a launch of your site or changes to your site. Finally you hit the maintain portion of the dev cycle which to be honest probably spans the entire cycle after launch because you will continuously be adapting to changes.
- Let’s start with Setup. We’ll talk about what you need to know when getting started with a project on WP Engine.
- So let’s talk about creating installs. Installs on WP Engine are installations of WordPress, individual sites, or multisites running in a sandbox. Every installs has it’s own file system, database, and staging site. Each plan has a designated amount of installs you can create. However, you can always create unlimited transferable installs.
- Let’s dig into transferable installs. Free transferrable installs release you from the shackles of paying for WordPress installs for testing and development purposes. You eliminate hosting costs that can be a financial drain when you pay out of pocket for development and testing sites. With transferrable installs from WP Engine, you can create an unlimited number of free installs for test and dev, and transfer those installs to your client’s WP Engine account when the site is ready to go live or back to your own account if you decide to keep control of a site later on. These installs don’t count against the number of installs available via your WP Engine account. They’re also password protected to help you keep the site private while you develop it. And, if you wish, you can maintain access to those transferred installs for continued collaboration and development when you transfer them.
- Once you transfer the install, the hosting bill is also transferred to your client, meaning you no longer have to mess with hosting invoices or tracking down a customer to recoup fees you paid out of pocket hosting the development site. This saves you additional time and money. Your customer then receives a tailored email instructing them on how to “claim” the site you just sent them. With transferable installs you don’t have to wait for your client to setup hosting, you can jump right in and get started with your next project! Sometimes though, you don’t start from a blank slate. You might be migrating an existing site to our platform, for continued development. We’ve got a great solution for that.
- If you’ve ever migrated a WordPress site from one platform to another, you know what a major headache it can be. It’s often complex, time consuming, and expensive. And there’s a lot that can go wrong. We recently launched WP Engine Automated Migration, a new solution that eliminates the hardest, most complicated steps typically required to fully migrate a site to our managed WordPress hosting platform. WP Engine Automated Migration is available as a WordPress plugin and also through our User Portal. WP Engine Automated Migration is free, and it empowers you to migrate your WordPress sites to our platform in just minutes by following a few simple steps. It’s never been faster, easier, or more affordable to migrate your site to our platform.
- We’ve seen a nearly 100% success rate with the WP Engine Automated Migration Plugin, and our customers love using it. These are actual comments from customers who have used the Automated Migration Plugin.
- But don’t worry if you don’t want to use the Automated Migration Plugin, or want to manually migrate your site for whatever reason, we have another tool to help guide you through the complex process of migrating a WordPress website. Our Migration Checklist offers a personalized to-do list interface, ensuring you hit all the steps required to migrate your site successfully. The migration checklist allows you to Track your progress. It contains Tailored instructions specific to your install. If you get lost, there is inlined help content. And there are convient tools that allow you to preview your site with a click of a button, and then detect when your DNS is propagated to WP Engine. Our Automated Migration Plugin, and Migration Checklist showcase the freedom and flexibility you have on WP Engine to develop on your terms, with whatever tools make you most comfortable.
- Next let’s talk about how you can develop on WP Engine.
- You have a host of options when you’re deciding how you want to develop on WP Engine. We suport SFTP, Git and Vagrant development. Collaborate And Maintain Control With Git Push Say you want to collaborate on a project, but maintain version control throughout development. Git Push gives you that. Git is open source software that allows groups of people to work on the same code at the same time (it’s a distributed system for version control). You can collaborate on a client site in real time with your team. WP Engine was the first managed WordPress hosting provider to fully integrate Git Push into a hosted application? You can set up Git Push in your User Portal and use Git to push to your production and staging area.
- Once you’ve started development, you’ll be able to Test And Share Your Work With Staging Sites No good has ever come from launching a site before it’s finished. You want to test your progress before pushing a site live. A staging site lets you build and test a site in a staging environment before pushing it to the world. Think about it as dress rehearsal--a testing ground where you can play with plugins, themes, and custom code to work out any kinks before lifting the curtain on opening night. You can share that staging site with your clients—they’re password protected so only authorized people can view them. Once the site in the staging area is approved, you can push it live with the click of a button. Now, there are some limitations when developing in a staging area: there’s no server side caching in place on staging sites and there are no backups in the staging area. This allows you to spend less time busting cache and more time working on your site.
- Let’s talk about the power of copy sites. Copy site capabilities make your work easier and save you a ton of time by letting you create multiple copies of your existing production sites. Your can copy one site over to another existing site, or create a new install that is a replica of an existing site. You are extremely proud of the sites you’ve built, and you want to replicate that awesomeness. With WP Engine Copy Site, you can turn a site you developed into a template so you can reuse it across multiple projects. Think of it as instant repeatability for your most successful sites. Instead of starting a new site from scratch, you can start a project from a copy of an already proven site. This speeds up your development workflow, and allows you to have a default install with all your favorite configurations, plugins, and themes jump starting your next development project. WP Engine doesn’t just provide developer tool, we also have a host of addons and extentions that give your WP engine sites super powers.
- The WP Engine GeoIP plugin enables global brands to use a site visitor’s location to serve them relevant, targeted content based on their country, state, city, and even zipcode. This empowers brands, marketers, developers, legal departments, and site owners to show site visitors pricing in their national currency, sites in their language, and share content that is most relevant based on geography. GeoIP also now comes with built in shortcode functionality to assist with displaying specific content to visitors in different locations and new testing functionality that lets you test visiting the page from a specified location to see how it will appear to different visitors. Geo Location has never been easier, you can use it directly from the post editor. GeoIP also just works with our platforms caching. That’s right cacheable pages with dynamic geo location data!
- We also have an entire team devoted to finding new ways to levearge technology to innovate One of the reasons we all love WordPress is because it allows us to create amazing new projects in ways we never could before. Projects that enable us to share new ideas, new initiatives, new messages, new media, open for business to the entire world, with the potential to accumulate millions of interactions in the years to come. For us at WP Engine, we share the exhilaration of creation! Which is why we have an entire labs team dedicated to technical innovation both inside and outside the company. We’re leveraging our years of experience and expertise in WordPress to create new solutions that our customers can jump start their development with. We have a couple of projects in flight today. Faster, More Accurate WordPress Search WP Engine Search is a new site search engine powered by Elasticsearch. Currently in Alpha, it is more accurate and less bulky than the search capabilities that are native to WordPress. WP Engine Search is lightning fast and returns results ranked by relevance, and is much less demanding on your database server. It uses autosuggest to guess what visitors are searching for and fuzzy matching to catch misspellings and queries that are slightly off. And because it’s included in our platform, you won’t have to contract with yet another vendor to get awesome search capabilities. Increase Site Stickiness With Related Posts WP Engine Related Posts is another new tool, currently in Alpha, that presents your own relevant and related content at the bottom of each content page. Showcasing related posts in this fashion has been proven to increase pageviews by 10 percent or more, drive additional revenue for ad-driven sites, and keep visitors on your pages longer. WP Engine Related Posts gives your sites new levels of stickiness. All of these tools are examples of innovation that WP Engine is creating and giving to customers on our platform to supercharge their websites and speed up development.
- Next let’s talk about things to consider when launching a site on WP Engine.
- There are two ways to make your site live on WP Engine. CNAMEs and A Records. At WP Engine with every install a subdomain of WP Engine is created for you to access your site without pointing dns at us. This url can also be used to point a CNAME at. If you look at the above example you will see digitaldesign.wpengine.com is the content of the www CNAME. This has it’s benefits and it’s disadvantages. The biggest benefit of using a CNAME is the fact that it keeps your site up when situations arise such as hardware upgrades, ddos mitigation, or other normal occurrences that may lead to you IP address needing to change. If CNAMEs aren’t your thing you can certainly use an A record which also has it’s benefits. For instance, if you want to point to a new install on your account you can simply point the ip address and add the domain in your user portal. It’s important to note though unlike CNAMEs if there is an emergency change to your IP address your site runs risk of going down. (However, we would be in communication with you through the process if such a case were to arise) We highly recommend using CNAMEs to point our environment.
- Let’s talk about Keeping Data Private With Easy SSL secure sockets layer (SSL) is technology that protects your clients’ and your site visitors’ private data. SSL also gives you the added benefit of improved Google rankings (Google ranks websites protected with SSL slightly higher than those that are not). WP Engine makes purchasing an SSL certificate for sites quick and easy through the User Portal. Building an ecommerce site that accepts credit card information? SSL makes sure that data stays secure. WP Engine offers SSL protection across all of our plans so you can keep data private. WP Engine offers 1st party SSL certificates (both single domain and wildcard) for purchase on all plans. For Professional plans and above, we have a 3rd party SSL tool to help you easilly configure your 3rd party SSL certificates with our platform. These improvements will help anyone, regardless of technical knowledge, easily and successfully secure a WP Engine site with SSL.
- Serve Content Swiftly With One-Click CDN Speed is a major measurement of site performance. To enable that, we offer a single-click CDN (content delivery network) that stores a site’s static content locally on servers all over the world and serves that content from the ones closest to your visitors. This means content loads faster, and sites can scale more effectively. Do you anticipate a lot of international visitors? The CDN makes sure a site is speedy no matter where a visitor comes from. CDN is available via one-click through the WP Engine User Portal.
- Finally let’s talk about Maintaining Sites after you’ve launched them on WP Engine
- Turn Back Time With During Development Backups Have you ever wanted to revert back to the version of the site that you showed last week? No problem—during development backups will help you with that. These backups can help you turn back the clock in a snap--go back to an earlier version to eliminate a mistake or design mishap. Access to easy backups and one-click restores during the development process can turn a massive mistake into a minor hiccup. When disaster strikes or something goes awry, there’s no need to worry. With WP Engine, all of your data is preserved with backup and disaster recovery. It only takes seconds to create a snapshot backup of your WP Engine WordPress site so you can make changes, like updating a plugin, without the fear of making a costly mistake. You can restore to that snapshot to undo the changes with just a single click. WP Engine also takes daily automatic snapshots so you’ll never be without a snapshot.
- At WP Engine we make it easy to Always Be Up-To-Date With Managed Patching and Updates We’ll never make you look bad by sending an upgrade that kills your site or one of your customers’ sites. At WP Engine, you get the assurance that you’re site is always secure, as we automatically upgrade installs whenever new security patches are released. And when a major core update is released, we put it through rigorous testing before we automatically upgrade your site. And we recently made core upgrades even easier by integrating it more tightly into the User Portal--now you can upgrade core with the push of a button!
- Finally, rmemeber that we’ve got your back. Rest Easy With 24/7 Support Every day, we deliver over 800 hours of around-the-clock (24/7), technical support from US-based WordPress experts. If you have questions, we have answers. Our best-in-class support averages a 80 NPS across all mediums with a customer satisfaction rating of 98.5%. We’ve even won awards for our world-class support! And as a developer, you can call us on your customers’ behalf, as well, as long as you’re authorized to access their installs. We’re available through ticket, by phone, and by chat. We also have our always online support garage that is full of articles and other helpful content. Our team of WordPress experts is available 24/7 and always ready to help. It’s white glove support at its finest.
- That concludes our content for today, we’ve covered a lot of ground quickly, but we want to let you know that you’ll soon be getting a whitepaper that covers all of the topics we have touched on today, which will be landing in your email inbox soon. What we’ve covered today is just the start. We’re continuously updating our platform and our toolset to deliver the most flexible, developer-friendly environment on which to build WordPress sites. It’s our mission to be the WordPress platform of choice for developers, and we’ll continue to innovate to add capabilities and powerful development tools and services to make our platform flexible and to ultimately make your life and your work easier. Don’t waste time playing around with platforms that aren’t tailor-made for you.
