Choosing the right web development technology is one of the most important decisions to make when undertaking a website development project. That's why we take the time to understand your business' website functionality requirements, not only today, but well into the future.

Many web developers use the same CMS and technology over and over again, regardless of the functionality required. At Charles Elena, we believe that every web development project is unique. The size and functionality of the site is always considered before making a decision on the right Content Management System (CMS).

What is a CMS?

A Content Management system is a system that allows you to update and share information on a website. Charles Elena is proficient in open source software, consequently, our web development designs integrate smoothly with open source CMS’ such as

• Joomla
• Drupal
• Magento and
• WordPress

Using an open source CMS – rather than a proprietary build – allows faster development times and market deployment. However, if you’ve got some unique requirements for your website development project, rest assured that Charles Elena can custom-build in

• PHP development
• .NET development

Smartphone websites and application for development

Market Research firm Kantar found that 49% of Australians now own a Smartphone. From our Google Analytics data we can see an increase in users accessing website content via mobile devices. That means that to gain maximum reach and branding, web development projects need to include a mobile option more often than not.
Charles Elena builds mobile websites and apps in tandem with standard website development, and can develop sites optimised for both iPhone and Android viewing.

What tests are run during the web development process?

Charles Elena ensures that every website is tested for:

• speed
• compatibility amongst a variety of browsers and platforms
• reporting and clarity of information (Google Analytics)
• security (latest security patches and alerts are installed), and
• ease of navigation

Using the right technology to power your website will go a long way towards ensuring that your web development project is a success. Call Charles Elena on (03) 9663 5433 to discuss your website development and design needs.
