CCD Studio
Custom Websites
Websites designed around the real needs of a business, rather than adapted from an existing base.
Custom Websites is one of the directions of CCD Studio, the APLOSYA branch dedicated to websites: when a template is not enough, the site is designed around the business itself.
When a template isn't enough
Some projects don't fit an existing base.
A foundation is not always the right starting point. A website may need:
-
A specific structure
Pages and navigation organised around the business's own content.
-
A particular presentation
A way of showing the business that no existing layout reflects.
-
Particular business needs
Requirements and constraints that belong to this business.
-
A distinct digital experience
An experience that does not correspond to an existing base.
What custom means
Start from the real need, and build around it.
In CCD Studio, custom is a way of designing and developing a website, not a promise without limits.
-
Start from the need
What the website has to do for the business comes before any design choice.
-
Design around it
Structure and presentation shaped for this business rather than taken from a template.
-
Develop what it requires
Specific development where the website needs it, and only there.
-
Within a clear scope
What is built is what the project actually needs.
Built around the business
A website that fits the business behind it.
The elements a custom website is shaped on, from the start.
-
Structure
Pages and navigation organised around what visitors come for.
-
Content
The business's own texts, images and information.
-
Presentation
How the content is arranged and highlighted.
-
Visual identity
A design created for the business rather than adapted from a template.
-
Specific needs
Features and constraints that belong to this business.
From idea to website
From the need to the finished website.
A general approach, adapted to each project rather than a fixed procedure.
-

Need
What the website has to achieve, and for whom.
-
02

Organising pages and content around that need.
-

Custom without unnecessary complexity
Custom does not mean complicated.
The aim is to build what the project actually needs, and nothing more.
-
Only what the project needs
Every element has to answer a real part of the need.
-
Nothing added for show
No feature or effect included simply because it is possible.
-
Clear for visitors
A website people can use without having to learn it.
-
Room to evolve
A structure that can grow with the business, without being rebuilt.
When custom makes sense
A specific design, when the project calls for it.
Situations in which a more personalised website can be relevant.
-
No existing base fits
The project does not correspond to any existing foundation.
-
A particular structure
The site's organisation is specific to the business.
-
A specific presentation
The business needs to be shown in its own way.
-
A particular need
The website has to be built around a need of its own.
Template or custom
Two approaches, one studio.
Complementary ways of working in CCD Studio: the right one depends on the project, not on a ranking.
-
Custom Websites
Design the website around a specific need.
What matters
Simple. Properly built. Secure. Efficient.
The APLOSYA principles, applied to every custom website. They describe a design approach, not absolute guarantees.
-
Responsive
Designed for phones, tablets and desktops from the start.
-
Performance
Lightweight pages, without unnecessary scripts.
-
SEO
Clean markup and a readable structure, without promises about rankings.
-
Accessibility
Readable contrast, keyboard navigation and a clear heading structure.
-
Maintainability
A structure that stays clear as the site evolves.
-
Security
Secure defaults, and no data collected without a clear reason.
