WordPress is the world’s most popular Content Management System (CMS); over 30% of all websites use it. It’s well supported and flexible, making it a good long-term solution for web development that can evolve with your business needs. As our preferred CMS, Alberon’s in-house development team is highly skilled in using WordPress. We have vast experience working with it to create bespoke websites for organisations across a range of sectors.

Out of the box, WordPress provides lots of functionality, and although this can be useful, it is not always required. The websites we build are bespoke and we only include what is needed. We take the basics of the system and we add the additional features you need by configuring existing plugins or developing our own. This allows us to build a bespoke website to your exact needs – there is no wasteful code slowing down the site – it is built to be lean and efficient.

We will create ready-to-use page templates and blocks, configured to the style of your organisation’s brand so you can create web pages that are consistent across the website. Logos, colour palettes, layouts, fonts for headings and text, as well as menu layouts and forms, will all be considered, designed and built into the WordPress admin for you to add via a user-friendly admin panel. All of these bespoke design elements are built-into the admin panel so you can easily manage a website that is fully branded, engaging and easy to navigate.

All the design elements are built to meet the requirements of both the desktop and mobile versions of your website. No matter what device it is being accessed on, your website will be optimised to deliver the best possible user experience.

These include developing new functionality and adapting the admin panel to include your bespoke design elements to make adding sections and new content simple. We include user guides, build in permission systems (enabling staff members to manage only their areas of the website) and publishing workflows, which allow draft pages to be saved, reviewed and approved before being published.

The aim is to make managing and maintaining your website as easy as possible. This is especially important when you are adding in more complex functionality and integrating with other systems – so the whole solution is easy to manage and maintain.

System Integration

For many companies, their website is just one piece of a larger process. We can integrate your WordPress website with any 3rd party systems, such as payment gateways for eCommerce, databases and email platforms, to streamline your processes. We will work with you to plan, design and develop a website that achieves your goals.

Alberon’s hosting packages for WordPress sites are designed to keep your website secure and protected. We monitor your server to detect and fix minor issues before they develop into anything more serious. Regular security updates help keep your website and data safe and secure.

Being a popular CMS it is also familiar to many developers. This means it is a stable CMS, that is always being updated, with better tools and security measures being released.

Built for SEO

Building your website so it is optimised for search engines to find is a key consideration. To do this, we included many inbuilt tools within WordPress, including Yoast to your business. Yoast offers a checklist of where to improve your pages, as well as easy editing of page names, URLs and other factors users read to understand your website’s content.

We will configure these to make your website as effective as possible at ranking highly with search engines like Google. Yoast also allows us to connect your site and configure analytics programs such as Google Analytics.
