Whether building a brand-new site or revamping an existing one, the goal is to deliver a website that looks great, works seamlessly on all devices and gives clients full control over their content through easy-to-use tools.
Responsive Design
In today’s digital world, users access websites from a variety of devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones. Ensuring your site is fully responsive means it will automatically adjust to fit any screen size, providing an optimal viewing experience no matter what device is being used. This enhances user engagement and ensures your website remains accessible to a broader audience.
- Mobile-Friendly: All websites are designed to work perfectly on mobile devices, with touch-friendly navigation and optimised layouts for smaller screens.
- Future-Proof: As screen sizes and devices evolve, a responsive design ensures that your website remains flexible and visually appealing.
- Improved User Experience: Responsive design helps visitors navigate the site easily, leading to better engagement and potentially higher conversion rates.
SEO-Friendly Websites
Building a website that looks great is only part of the solution. To ensure that potential customers can find your site, Caterham Computing follows SEO best practices during the design and development process. By optimising the structure, code and content of your site, your website will have a better chance of ranking well in search engine results.
- Optimised Site Structure: Websites are built with clean, well-organised code and logical navigation to make it easy for search engines to crawl and index the pages.
- Page Load Speed: Fast-loading pages are essential for both user experience and SEO and all designs are optimised to load quickly without sacrificing functionality.
- On-Page SEO: Meta tags, alt text, header tags and keyword optimisation are implemented to ensure your website content is easily discoverable by search engines.
By following these SEO-friendly practices, Caterham Computing ensures that the website performs well both technically and in search engine rankings, helping attract more visitors.
CMS for Content Control
A key part of modern web design is giving clients control over their own content. Caterham Computing typically builds websites using WordPress, the world’s most popular content management system (CMS). This allows clients to easily manage, update and expand their site without needing technical expertise.
- Simple Content Management: WordPress provides an intuitive interface that lets clients add, edit, or remove pages, blog posts, images and other content at any time.
- Scalability: Whether starting with a small site or building something larger, WordPress can scale as your business grows, offering flexibility to add new features or sections as needed.
- Customisable: With thousands of plugins and themes available, WordPress offers nearly limitless customisation options, allowing for unique features and design elements.
- Ongoing Support: Even though WordPress makes content management simple, Caterham Computing provides ongoing support to help with updates, troubleshooting and new features as needed.
Other Popular CMS Options
While WordPress is the go-to platform for many websites, Caterham Computing also works with other popular Content Management Systems (CMS) to provide flexibility based on client preferences or project requirements. Some of the other CMS options include:
- Joomla: A versatile and robust platform suitable for complex websites. Joomla offers extensive customisation options and is ideal for sites that require more structured content management.
- Drupal: Known for its powerful features and flexibility, Drupal is often used for larger, more complex sites that need advanced customisation and scalability.
