Mequoda

Mequoda is a great company that helps publishers make money online. Xavisys does a lot of work with them helping to develop their clients sites to meet the Mequoda standards. Mequoda has an extremely long list of best practices that a “Mequoda site” must implement. I put “Mequoda site” in quotes because you can attend their summits, follow posts on their site, hire them to consult, and build your own site that meets the Mequoda standards. However, I have to say that I don’t think anyone builds a better Mequoda site than the team they put together over at Mequoda.

The mequoda site also uses some of our publicly released WordPress plugins, including our Efficient Related Posts plugin for all their related posts and the Improved User Experience plugin to improve the lost password functionality.

Xavisys worked with the Mequoda Group on this project. Mequoda is completely responsible for the design and planning, and Xavisys is responsible for much of the back end programming. The site runs many of the Mequoda Pro plugins, some of which Xavisys has written (to Mequoda standards and best practices). The ones that Xavisys wrote include automated tag management, a settings plugin that keeps live and development settings out of the files for easy deployment from development server to live servers, as well as a plugin that tracks source codes which are used to generate reports to show profitability based on different referring sources.

The original scope of the project has been completed, but additional development is still ongoing because the Mequoda best practices are ever-changing!
