Frequently asked questions.
Everything you need to know about working with Illuminaries.
Can you turn my existing manual business process into an online web application?
Yes. We excel at converting complex offline systems into streamlined web-based applications. Whether you need a custom e-commerce engine, a client portal, or a diagnostic tool, we can build a secure online platform that automates your workflow.
Will my new website be mobile-friendly?
Absolutely. We use responsive design as standard. This ensures your website automatically adapts to provide an optimal viewing experience on smartphones, tablets, and desktops alike.
Is SEO included in the website development process?
Yes. We build every site with an SEO-first architecture. This includes optimising page load speeds, creating search-engine-friendly URL structures, and ensuring all technical meta-data is correctly configured to give your business the best start in organic rankings. SEO is however a on-going process.
Will I be able to update the website content myself?
Yes. We can offer a Content Management System (CMS) that is specifically designed to be user-friendly. You’ll have the freedom to update text, images, and news items without needing technical knowledge, though we are always here if you need a hand.
Where will my website be hosted, and is it secure?
We offer high-performance UK-based hosting on our secure servers. Security is a priority; we implement SSL certificates as standard and, as a Cyber Essentials certified company, we ensure your web application is built to withstand modern security threats.
Do you use templates for your websites?
That's up to you. If budgets are tight, there are many template stores where a pre-designed site that is suitable could be purchased to keep down costs, alternatively we can offer a fully bespoke design and build to keep on top of page weight and speed and to keep perfectly unique.
