Building Shireburn Software Website

As a Full-Stack WordPress Developer, I built Shireburn, the official website for Shireburn Software Ltd — a Malta-based leader in cloud-based business solutions since 1983. Using WordPress, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and PHP, I created a professional, responsive platform showcasing HR, payroll, attendance, accounting, inventory, and POS software like Indigo and Shireburn Business Suite. Custom themes with HTML/CSS delivered a clean, modern corporate design, jQuery added interactive demos and solution highlights, and PHP enabled dynamic content for client testimonials and product features. WP_Query optimized data display, while caching ensured fast performance. WCAG 2.1 accessibility promoted inclusivity for business users. This project demonstrates my skill in crafting tailored WordPress sites for enterprise software companies in 2025-2026.

  • Built custom WordPress themes with HTML and CSS.

  • Developed PHP features for dynamic content management.

  • Ensured WCAG 2.1 accessibility compliance.

  • Optimized performance with caching and minification.

  • Enhanced interactivity with jQuery.

Frontend Design with WordPress and jQuery

I designed a responsive, mobile-first frontend using a custom WordPress theme with HTML/CSS for seamless navigation across devices. jQuery powered interactive elements like solution carousels, testimonial sliders, and smooth animations, boosting engagement for businesses exploring HR/payroll tools. Minified assets, lazy-loaded images, and a mobile-first strategy delivered quick load times. WCAG 2.1 compliance included semantic HTML, ARIA landmarks, and keyboard navigation. ACF allowed easy updates to product pages. Cross-browser testing ensured reliability. The result: a professional, user-friendly site that highlights Shireburn's innovative software solutions.

Backend with WordPress and PHP

The backend uses WordPress and MySQL, with custom PHP for secure forms, content management, and dynamic product listings. WP_Query with indexing optimized retrieval of client stories and solution details. Secured REST APIs via PHP support potential integrations. Security features include Wordfence, HTTPS, and custom roles. W3 Total Cache handled traffic spikes. Modular design supports scalability. PHP testing minimized issues. This robust foundation powers Shireburn's online presence for business software in Malta and beyond.

  • Built PHP features for content and forms.

  • Optimized MySQL with WP_Query and indexing.

  • Secured with WordPress authentication.

  • Enhanced performance with W3 Total Cache.

  • Integrated Wordfence for protection.

Performance Optimization Strategies

I prioritized speed with W3 Total Cache, optimized queries via WP_Query/indexing, minified CSS/JS, and lazy loading. Lighthouse audits achieved high speed/SEO scores. Yoast SEO added meta tags and structured data for keywords like “cloud payroll Malta” and “HR software solutions,” improving visibility. These steps reduced bounce rates and supported Shireburn's growth-focused mission.

SEO and Accessibility Enhancements

Yoast SEO optimized meta tags, structured data, and keywords such as “payroll software Malta” and “Indigo HR solutions” for better rankings. Fast loads via caching strengthened SEO. WCAG 2.1 features included high-contrast design, screen-reader support, alt text, ARIA, and keyboard navigation — validated with WAVE. These made the site inclusive and discoverable for businesses.

  • Optimized meta tags with Yoast SEO.

  • Implemented WCAG-compliant features.

  • Used structured data for search visibility.

  • Ensured fast loads with caching.

Collaborative Development Process

I collaborated with Shireburn stakeholders using agile methods, delivering WordPress prototypes with ACF and jQuery for feedback on product showcases and forms. Git managed versions, regular reviews refined usability. Browser/device testing ensured compatibility. The result: a high-quality site supporting Shireburn's 40+ years of business software excellence.

  • Secured with Wordfence and HTTPS.

  • Custom PHP user roles for access control.

  • Protected forms/APIs with authentication.

  • Conducted OWASP ZAP audits.

  • Automated backups via UpdraftPlus.
