October 2016
I have developed a new template for branch offices of the National Association of Child Contact Centres. The main difference between this template and the former one is that it is responsive. The former one was not.
What is responsive and why is it important
A responsive site adapts itself depending on the screen size of the viewing device. It is mobile friendly, so it works well on smart phones and tablets (iPads). The earlier site which was originally developed in 2012 was a fixed layout which does not adapt the layout for mobile devices.
Around 2 years ago Google commented that there were now more mobile web users than those operating from a laptop or desktop. Google now rates responsive websites higher than unresponsive ones. Google also annotates your site to indicate whether it is mobile friendly or not in some searches.
The new design is available as a template upgrade for existing users of NACCC websites for a one off payment of £65.
I have to modify some artworks, the application of the template involves adapting the home page to a different layout, and a redesigned sidebar and footer area.
The rest of your content remains as it was. The template also features a special style that can create buttons for links, and a highlighted panel if you wish to promote something. These are used on the front page of the website.
Contact me please for more details.
You can see the Loughborough Child Contact Centre site here.
If you make the width of your browser narrower, you can see how the site adapts to a narrower screen.
