Frequently Asked Questions
How will Key Element ensure the security of my website?
We ensure your website’s security through a range of robust measures. These include regular malware scanning, SSL certificates for encrypted data transfers, firewalls, and routine backups to protect your site from cyber threats like hacking and phishing.
With our all-in-one web hosting solutions, we maintain full control over your security protocols, ensuring your site is always secure and protected. This comprehensive approach provides peace of mind that your website and its data are safeguarded from potential vulnerabilities.
Which platforms and technologies do you use for web development?
We have the expertise to work with most web development platforms, but our go-to CMS for cost-effective websites is WordPress. Due to its popularity and versatility as a content management system, WordPress powers over 43% of websites globally. For businesses focused on eCommerce, we recommend Shopify for its robust, scalable, and user-friendly platform, perfect for creating online stores that drive sales and manage inventory seamlessly. Additionally, we can also utilise our own custom-built platform, Lucid, which was developed in-house to provide advanced features that enable fully customisable and bespoke web solutions. Lucid enhances functionality, user experience, and performance beyond typical platforms. By leveraging both WordPress and Lucid, we deliver secure, high-performing, and budget-friendly web solutions tailored to ensure optimal user experience and long-term growth.
If you require a fully bespoke platform, our team of highly skilled developers can design and create a custom system utilising the latest development technologies to tailor it to your exact requirements. Find out more here.
What is the typical timeline for a web development project?
The timeline for a web development project varies depending on the specific requirements of each business. For example, a simple brochure-style website with a few pages typically takes around 4 to 6 weeks, including the testing phase. However, more complex, bespoke projects with extensive content or unique functionalities can take over 6 months to complete. Every project is different, so the timeline will ultimately depend on the scope and complexity of the site.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance and support for websites after they are launched?
Yes, we provide with every website a warranty period after your website is launched, to ensure everything runs smoothly during the initial phase. Once the warranty period concludes, we offer comprehensive ongoing maintenance and support services to keep your website updated, secure, and optimised for performance. Our team is dedicated to ensuring your site remains functional and protected against any potential issues, including software updates and security patches. With our ongoing support, you can focus on growing your business while we take care of your website’s long-term health and success.
