1. Research & Plan
First, we learn about your vision, industry, and competitors. We then plan the CMS structure and custom fields needed to support your business.
Benefits of our Craft CMS Web Design services
Craft CMS is a great choice for professional web development, offering a perfect balance between custom functionality and a straightforward editing experience. Unlike other platforms that rely on a huge library of external plugins, Craft focuses on quality over quantity, allowing us to build exactly what you need without unnecessary bloat. This results in cleaner code and faster loading speeds for your users.
Craft CMS provides a true blank canvas, without fixed templates. This allows us to build the platform around your unique brand identity, rather than forcing your vision into a pre-made box. For you, this means a website that functions exactly as envisioned with zero creative compromises – perfectly executed by Echo’s expert design team.
Simple to navigate and completely customisable, Craft CMS provides a distraction-free interface for managing your content. We alter the backend to show only the tools you actually use – stripping away unnecessary menus and buttons. This allows your team to navigate the system with total confidence, updating text, swapping images, and launching new pages seamlessly.
Craft only runs the code your site actually needs, ensuring fast load speeds, which is a critical ranking factor for Google. We build your site using semantic code that search engines can easily crawl and ensure SEO fundamentals are set up. We also integrate tracking tools to provide the data you need to measure your marketing success.
You gain total control over your layout without needing further development. Using custom-built blocks, you can drag and drop everything from testimonial sliders to image galleries exactly where you want them. This modular flexibility allows you to assemble professional landing pages easily, giving you the power to continuously expand your site.
Security is a core component of Craft CMS. It relies on high-quality plugins rather than thousands of unvetted ones, meaning the risk of vulnerabilities and hacking is significantly smaller. We manage the entire technical setup, providing a robust foundation to ensure your site remains secure, and accessible to your customers at all times.
Craft CMS is designed to handle data very efficiently. Even if you decide to expand your site to have thousands of pages or blog posts, the system stays speedy and responsive, whereas other platforms can often get slower as they get bigger (if not handled correctly). We optimise every layer of your platform for speed and responsiveness.
