Discover
Discovery is where WP Helper Tools starts every engagement — whether you need a custom WordPress plugin, theme, Core Web Vitals rescue, Micro-SaaS MVP, or AI/RAG workflow. We map what “done” looks like with your stakeholders, inventory the WordPress or headless stack you already run, and surface risks that would otherwise blow timeline or budget later.
Our main client base is in Melbourne and New Mexico; we also take worldwide projects. Every discovery session is delivered remotely with clear notes you can share with your board or agency partners.
You leave with a shared brief: goals, audiences, non-negotiables, performance or technical SEO targets, and the questions we still need answered in Scope. No retainers — just a crisp kickoff that protects both sides.
What we cover in discovery
- Business outcomes and primary user journeys (shoppers, editors, operators)
- Current WordPress stack, plugins, hosting, caching, and editorial workflow
- Constraints: budget band, deadline, compliance, brand, accessibility
- Success metrics you can audit — LCP, INP, CLS, conversion, or ops time
- Whether the right path is a plugin, theme, site build, SaaS MVP, or AI agent
What you receive
- Written discovery notes shared with your team
- Risk and opportunity list ranked by impact
- Recommended next step into Scope with rough effort bands
- Pointers to relevant WP Helper Tools services and free tools

FAQs — WordPress discovery
How long does discovery take?
Most kickoffs fit one focused session plus written notes within a few business days. Complex multisite or WooCommerce stacks may need a short follow-up.
Is discovery only for Melbourne and New Mexico?
Those are our main client bases, but we run discovery remotely for worldwide WordPress teams on the same standards.
Do you sell a retainer after discovery?
No. We recommend a fixed Scope proposal. Ongoing care is optional later — never forced.
