Objectives

  • Establish a clean, trustworthy brand presence with consistent typography and color.
  • Use a modular PHP architecture (header/footer partials) for rapid iteration.
  • Prioritize accessibility (semantic headings, alt text, contrast, keyboard focus).
  • Optimize for performance, SEO clarity, and share-friendly social previews.
  • Provide an extensible foundation for services, portfolio, and case studies.

Design & Development

The site implements a modular PHP structure with reusable partials and a consistent component style. Layout choices favor readability and simplicity, while custom CSS preserves a distinctive SolarSoft look across hero sections, service cards, and portfolio grids. Accessibility and SEO were integrated from the outset.

Front-End Highlights

  • Semantic HTML and clear heading hierarchy (H2 intros, H3 subsections).
  • Responsive layout with balanced spacing and readable type scale.
  • Font Awesome icons used sparingly for clarity and scannability.
  • Custom CSS for brand palette (blues/violets), buttons, badges, and cards.
  • Alt-text-first image strategy and ratio containers to control CLS.

Architecture & SEO

  • PHP partials (partials/header.php, partials/footer.php) for consistency and speed.
  • Descriptive meta titles/descriptions and Open Graph tags per page.
  • JSON-LD schema on case studies to strengthen topical authority.
  • Lightweight JS and image optimization for fast interaction.
  • Accessible forms and focus states for keyboard/screen-reader users.
