Computers sure seem like anti-social machines from the outset, but on the inside? They’re all about communication. There are countless different types of ‘code’- Java, PHP, Javascript, Python- and they all make-up different kinds of web developer languages. Coding is incredibly important when it comes to generating positive online reviews. By creating a visually interactive site, with fast-loading content, you’re guaranteed great results (see SEO below.)
There are two main areas of your website that need to be coded; the front-end (visual) and the back-end (user-interface.) They don’t always team-up together to put on a show. Usually, CMS or templated websites (like on Squarespace) will focus on just the ‘front-end’ visuals and that’s why they are lower-cost. Custom-code will ensure a seamless experience across all the visual and creative elements of your website.

Caching (weirdly pronounced as ‘cash’) is used to make web pages load faster. Instead of re-loading the web-page from scratch, it kind-of functions like you guessed it- cashing-in on something.
