Business Overview
SimplePractice is a cloud-based, award-winning practice management solution that provides the tools for health and wellness professionals to run their practice more efficiently.
Problem
SimplePractice was looking to take some workload off their development team, which meant upgrading the marketing site to a platform the marketing team could work with. SimplePractice was looking for a team to migrate their CMS from Refinery (Ruby) to Wordpress.
All the custom screen needed to be migrated to a custom WordPress theme, this involved using the current SASS style sheets in the Ruby project while building out templates in WordPress.
Recommended Solution
Calico proposed utilizing the Roots development tools for building out a custom theme. Sage “WordPress starter theme that lets you build better themes faster with improved development tools.” would help streamline the theme development process. This way, we could use the current SASS files with only small adjustments.
Sage and Bedrock also fell in line with the deployment process with SimplePractice required using Pagely. Pagely allows theme deployments via GIT source control and the Pagely CI/CD pipeline.
