October 11, 2016 — ランディングページや入力フォームページをどのようにしてWordPressにて管理しているかをご紹介します。

現在、Sansan株式会社マーケティング部では50ページ程度のシンプルな入力フォームからランディングページまで、様々な様式のページをWordPressで管理しています。

WordPress本体やプラグインのアップデートでのコンフリクトなどを避けるため、極力既存のプラグインに頼らずfunctions.phpに独自関数を記述するなどの工夫をしています。

また、プラグインは厳選したもののみ使用するのですが、その中でもAdvanced Custom Fieldsは最大限に活用し、スマホ専用ページの有無と表示切り替え、サンクスページやサンクスメールの作成、コンバージョン測定ツールのタグ設置などを管理画面から設定できるようにし、各ページで条件分岐するなどして様々な表示に対応しています。
