Why we design your websites in components (and why you’ll love it!)

Imagine building with LEGO. Would you rather have a giant, pre-assembled castle that you can’t really change, or a massive box of individual bricks that you can snap together in countless ways to create anything you dream up?

That’s essentially the difference between designing websites as fixed “pages” versus building them with flexible “components.” And at Mativus, we’re firmly on the LEGO side.

Forget the days of websites that look good but do little for your business. Your website should be more than just a pretty brochure, it should be part of a growth system that books you discovery calls with your highest-paying clients. That’s why we build with components: flexible building blocks that make your site not only adaptable, but strategically designed to drive action.

TL;DR:

Instead of designing your website as fixed pages, we build it with reusable “LEGO bricks” (components). This makes your site more flexible, easier to update, ensures brand consistency, and can even improve performance. Think of it as building a dynamic and adaptable website, ready for anything!

So, what does this actually mean for you? Think of it this way:

Instead of designing a separate “Homepage,” “About Us” page, “Contact” page, etc., as completely separate components, we identify the fundamental building blocks that make up your website. These could be:

• Hero Sections: The eye-catching banner at the top of a page.
• Content Blocks: Sections with text, images, and calls to action.
• Feature Lists: Highlighting key benefits or services.
• Testimonial Carousels: Showcasing customer feedback.
• Form Elements: Contact forms, sign-up forms, etc.
• Navigation Bars: Guiding users through your site.
• Footers: Providing essential links and information.

The magic of reusability:

The beauty of components lies in their reusability. Once we’ve meticulously crafted a compelling “Call to Action” button or a stylish “Image Gallery,” we can deploy it across multiple pages in a consistent and efficient manner. This saves time, reduces development costs, and ensures a unified brand experience throughout your site.

Flexibility is your superpower:

Imagine you want to add a new feature to several different pages. With a page-based design, you’d likely need to manually design and implement that feature on each individual page – a time-consuming and potentially error-prone process.

With components, you design once and reuse everywhere. That means you can quickly update landing pages for new lead magnets, refresh your discovery call booking page, or launch a new campaign, without paying for a full redesign. This agility ensures your website keeps working hard to win you more clients, not sitting idle.

Consistency creates trust:

Consistency isn’t just about looking professional, it builds trust, which is crucial when you want high-value clients to book a call. A component-based design ensures your lead magnets, booking forms, and calls to action feel seamless across every page, creating the confidence that turns visitors into bookings.

Future-proofing your business online:

The web is constantly evolving. New technologies emerge, design trends shift, and user expectations change. A component-based architecture makes it far easier to update and modernise your website in the future. We can refresh individual components without having to overhaul entire page layouts, saving you significant time and resources in the long run.

Better performance:

Component-based design often leads to cleaner and more modular code. This can translate to faster loading times and improved website performance, contributing to a better user experience and potentially boosting your search engine rankings.

In short, designing with components empowers you with:

• Efficiency: Faster development and deployment.
• Flexibility: Easy adaptation to new requirements.
• Consistency: A unified and professional brand experience.
• Scalability: Effortless growth and future updates.
• Performance: Potentially faster loading times.
