The Client
HorusGuard is a US-based company providing cybersecurity services to clients from a wide range of industries, including healthcare, finance, technology and e-commerce. HorusGuard wanted a new website that would showcase its expertise and professionalism while also highlighting its commitment to customer service. HorusGuard also wanted the new website to be optimised for performance, accessibility and security.
Our Solution
-
• Developing a visually appealing website with a modern and slick designWe began by conducting a thorough analysis of the client’s business needs and target audience to ensure that the website would effectively showcase their brand and drive conversions. From there, we worked closely with the client to develop a comprehensive plan for the website’s structure, design and functionality. We then developed a new website with a sleek and modern design that aligned with the client’s brand aesthetic. We ensured intuitive navigation with clear calls to action, designed attractive visuals and easily understandable icons, and implemented consistent branding.
-
• Optimising the website for performanceWe minified CSS and JavaScript, eliminated render-blocking resources, set up a content delivery network (CDN) and configured CDN and hosting settings, deferred JavaScript and off-screeen images, preloaded critical resources, hosted fonts locally, optimised the database, set up and configured efficient caching policy, implemented brotli compression, minimised main-thread work, and optimised, compressed and efficiently encoded images.
-
• Optimising the website for SEO and accessibilityWe specified title and meta tags, included meta descriptions, used clean and descriptive URLs, added alt text for images, appropriately indexed pages, used legible font sizes, implemented internal linking, optimised the website for mobile devices with responsive design and quick loading times, and created an XML sitemap and robots.txt file. We also ensured that all headings are in a sequentially descending order, background and foreground colours have a sufficient contrast ratio, and all links have a discernible name.
-
• Ensuring high-level website securityWe set up security headers, including Referrer Policy, Permissions Policy, HTTP Strict Transport Security, X-Frame Options, X-Content-Type-Options and Content Security Policy. We also disabled XML RPC and username phishing, implemented login and SPAM protection, and set up full SSL/TLS encryption mode, firewall rules, regular backups and malware scans, and automatic HTTPS rewrites.
Final Product
The new website features a sleek and modern design, with clear calls to action and easy-to-navigate pages. The website also follows performance, accessibility, security and SEO best practices. The client was delighted with the new website, which helped them amplify their branding and achieve their business goals.
We had a fantastic experience working with the team at Altlier. We hired them to build and design our website, and the whole process was seamless. The website looks stunning, is easy to navigate and represents our business perfectly. Given that our business is cybersecurity focused, we particularly appreciated Altlier’s commitment to and implementation of cybersecurity best practices. We highly recommend hiring the Altlier team, and we feel that we have established a relationship with them for years to come.
