Are you also a big fan of TV series like Homeland, Californication, Breaking Bad, Glee, Grey’s Anatomy or one of the other popular TV Series? After Buzz TV is an online network which uses its website to broadcasts live and recorded webcasts and podcasts about all existing series. As soon as an episode of a TV series has finished the After Buzz TV website can be consulted for reviews and discussions about that particular episode and of course the actors playing in the series. Because many series fanatics are writing reviews and comments when watching television in their couch, we decided to go for a fully-responsive Wordpress website which ensures everyone, no matter which device they are using: a computer, a laptop, a tablet or a smartphone, is able to properly view the website.
The start
Before we could kick off the actual PSD to Wordpress process we had to wait on the design company to finish the designs. This took some time but, looking at the end-result, it was worth that time because we were able to produce a clear and user-friendly website which would please all visitors. Upon completing the designs, we invited the client to review all pages and to make sure all functionalities were clearly understood to avoid future misunderstandings. Some of the extended functionalities which we were more than happy to share with and explain to our client were: adding a list with all today’s shows, a Twitter feed, a live chat and a weekly scheme or poll.
The start: PSD to HTML
The first step in the PSD to Wordpress process is the PSD to responsive HTML and CSS conversion. Developing a responsive HTML is no easy task and requires an extended skill set and many years of responsive HTML experience to ensure a website is properly displayed on different devices. Of course we employ various developers which have specialized in PSD to responsive HTML conversion and which therefore are able to deliver a full compatible cross browser and cross tablet and mobile responsive HTML project within 8 working days. Of course this was only the start of the project and we still had to merge all the different delivered pages into one Wordpress theme which excels in user-friendliness allowing the After Buzz TV employees and website administrators to easily add new content to the website.
A user-friendly Wordpress theme
Having completed our responsive HTML and consequently the first phase of our PSD to Wordpress process, we were ready to convert the HTML to a Wordpress theme which could be used on the live website of After Buzz TV. To increase the Wordpress theme development and because this website consisted of a large number of website pages we decided to dedicate two Wordpress developers to this HTML to Wordpress theme conversion. This proved to be a master stroke because both developers managed to deliver a fully-functional Wordpress theme within 5 days’ time.
The delivery
After resolving a few bugs, the client was really satisfied with the end-result and we installed the whole project on the client’s server. When clients request the Wordpress theme installation on their server we are always happy to help them and we perform the installation for free. The same goes for this project and the result was a very satisfied client and a successful PSD to Wordpress project.
