<aside> ☝ This is a new service we are implementing as of Q1 2024. It is subject to refinement as we go.

👀 Overview

Whenever we take on a site that was built by others, we need to do a quick round of upgrades to solve the client’s main pain points and get the site ready for Core Coverage. That is a special project we call the “Tune-Up”.

🏅 Principles

• Be Thorough. This is our chance to get the site into good shape so that Core Coverage will be effective and it will not be breaking all the time. Don’t skimp.
• Short Time-To-Value. The Tune-Up should include addressing key problems that the client was feeling when they started the Diagnostic. This is our time to show them quick value.

📏 Rules

✅ Do…

• Check the site thoroughly so that we know it inside and out

🚫 Don’t…

• Assume things are fine if they aren’t overtly broken.

🗝️ Details

Our typical steps would be:

• Deal with all critical bugs and issues found in the Diagnostic
• Upgrade every piece of third-party software on the site
• Get site up and running in GitHub
• Implement Ghost Inspector
• Put site on a PaaS
• Implement a reasonable deployment pipeline
• Set up modern build process
• Ensure analytics are working properly
• Create complete Site Documentation
