Project Scope & Objectives

Client Goals

The team at Scientiverse wanted to create a knowledge base where scientific content is curated, structured, and shared for both students and professionals. Their goals were:

• A lightweight, fast-loading website
• SEO-ready from day one
• A clean, minimalist UI/UX
• Easy content management without relying on bloated page builders
• Scalable design to support growth in traffic and articles

My Role: End-to-End Ownership

As a WordPress Developer & Digital Strategist, I took full ownership of the project—from planning and wireframing to development, optimization, and launch. I worked under the branding of Amod Khan Digital, ensuring the final product reflected my high standards of design integrity and performance.

Planning & Strategy

1. Discovery Phase

I started with a detailed discovery session with the client to understand their niche, audience, competitors, and functional needs. Based on this, I proposed a content-driven layout powered by GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks, avoiding heavy page builders like Elementor or WPBakery to maintain speed and code cleanliness.

2. Sitemap & Wireframing

I developed a custom sitemap with key categories such as:

• Physics
• Chemistry
• Biology
• Space Science
• Articles & Blogs
• About & Contact

Low-fidelity wireframes were sketched to define the layout of homepage, category archives, and single article pages.

3. Content Planning

We collaborated with the client to create a modular content system using Gutenberg, enabling them to write well-structured scientific posts without needing to code or use shortcodes.

Design & Development Process

1. GeneratePress Theme

I chose GeneratePress Premium for its:

• Lightweight footprint (less than 30 KB)
• Excellent performance and accessibility
• Full compatibility with Gutenberg
• Clean codebase and modular settings

Every template and layout was built using GeneratePress’s powerful customizer settings and layout modules to control headers, footers, containers, and sidebars.

2. GenerateBlocks

GenerateBlocks was the core building tool for custom content sections:

• Hero sections with dynamic background gradients
• Responsive grid layouts for articles
• Modular buttons and call-to-actions
• Custom author and bio sections

Unlike bloated builders, GenerateBlocks allowed me to maintain pixel-perfect designs while ensuring that HTML remained semantic and clean.

3. Performance Optimization with WP Rocket

Page speed was a high priority. I installed and configured WP Rocket for caching, lazy loading, and minification. The results were outstanding:

• PageSpeed Insights Score: 98+ on Desktop, 90+ on Mobile
• Load Time: Under 1.5 seconds
• Fully optimized Core Web Vitals

4. SEO Foundation with Rank Math

SEO was integrated from the start:

• Installed and configured Rank Math SEO
• Optimized titles, meta descriptions, schema markup
• Created SEO-friendly permalinks and sitemaps
• Added Open Graph and Twitter Card integration
• Enabled breadcrumbs and image ALT structure

I also advised the client on a future content strategy including interlinking and topic clustering to improve organic traffic.

Branding & Design System

While the client handled the logo and brand color palette, I ensured the design system across the site remained consistent and on-brand:

• Color Palette: Scientific blue tones paired with grayscale text
• Typography: Google Fonts with excellent readability
• Icons: Clean SVGs for performance
• Responsive Breakpoints: Optimized for all devices

Every UI element—from buttons to cards to headers—was built with design consistency and simplicity in mind.

---

Testing & Deployment

Before going live, I performed thorough testing:

• Cross-browser compatibility (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
• Mobile responsiveness (iOS and Android)
• SEO audit using Rank Math and Screaming Frog
• Security measures (XML-RPC disabled, login protection, HTTPS enforced)

The final site was deployed on a stable and optimized WordPress hosting provider, with CDN and DNS settings configured for global reach.
