From Concept to Launch: How SmartaStudio Builds a Great Website

04.11.2024

At SmartaStudio, building a website that works isn’t just about design – it’s about creating a tool that helps your business succeed online. From initial ideas to the final launch, we follow a clear, step-by-step process to build a site that looks great, is easy to use, and gets results.

1. Getting to Know Your Business

We start by learning about your business, audience, and goals. We ask questions like:

  • What makes your business unique?
  • Who are your customers, and what do they need?
  • What do you want the website to achieve (more leads, sales, awareness)?

This helps us understand what you’re looking for and sets a clear direction for the project.

2. Planning the Website Layout

With a clear idea of your goals, we create a layout for the site. This plan (or “sitemap”) shows the main sections of the site and how visitors will move through it. It includes:

  • Which pages you need (e.g., Home, About, Services).
  • How to organise these pages for easy navigation.
  • Content ideas for each section.

This layout helps us make sure users can find what they’re looking for quickly and easily.

3. Wireframing & Visual Design

Next, we create wireframes – simple outlines showing where each element will go, like text, buttons, and images. Once we agree on the layout, we move to the visual design. Here, we choose colours, fonts, and images that match your brand and make the site look professional and engaging.

Our designs are clean and simple, with a focus on user-friendliness and visual appeal.

4. Building the Site

Once the design is approved, we start building the website on WordPress. This step includes:

  • Bringing the design to life with code.
  • Making sure the site works well on phones, tablets, and desktops.
  • Adding any special features like contact forms, booking options, or shopping carts.
  • Setting up basic SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) so your site can be found on Google.

Our goal is to build a fast, secure, and easy-to-use site that fits your needs.

5. Testing Everything

Before launching, we test the website to make sure everything works as it should. This includes:

  • Checking that the site looks and works well on all major browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox).
  • Making sure it’s mobile-friendly.
  • Testing loading speeds to ensure quick access.
  • Testing all features, like forms and buttons, to confirm they work.

This step helps us catch any issues and ensure the site is fully ready for launch.

6. Launch & Ongoing Support

When testing is complete, it’s time to launch! We put your website live on your domain, making it accessible to everyone. After launch, we offer support to keep your site updated, secure, and running smoothly. With our support packages, you can have peace of mind knowing your site is always in good hands.
