If you’ve ever installed any version of wordpress, you know that it comes out of the box fully functional packed with tons of admin widgets and admin menus. This is most wordpress designers dream, but when your ready to turn it over to the client its not the greatest presentation or functionality. Assuming when you turn the project over to your client and give them editor permissions, they are now faced with an overwhelming amount admin dashboard widgets and admin menus they may never use, or may get them in trouble.
As a Hardin Marketing Standard, we strip the admin media menu, admin links menu, admin appearance menu, admin plugins menu, admin users menu, admin tools menu, admin settings menu, and sometime the admin links menu.
We also replace the standard wordpress footer branding and replace with Custom built WordPress Solutions by Hardin Marketing LLC. We then add the following widget. This reminds the client who build the site for future upgrades, and it also lets them know that your appreciate their business.
You may also be familiar with this screen. Yep, its the wordpress admin login page.
We feel that the client’s custom built wordpress website should be fully branded to match the rest of the company. Below is what the admin panel looks like now.
