Website Creation from A to Z: 8 Stages of Web Studio Work That Clients Should Know

The process of creating a professional, profitable website is not a chaotic set of actions but a clearly structured sequence, where each stage is critically important for the final success. In our web studio, we adhere to 8 key steps to ensure your new resource meets business goals and exceeds user expectations.

Stage 1: Briefing and Analysis (Discovery)

This is the foundation of the project. At this stage, we deeply immerse ourselves in your business.

Requirements Gathering (Brief): Defining goals, target audience, and the main benefits of your product/service.
Competitor Analysis: Researching the websites of leaders in your niche, identifying their strengths and weaknesses.
Technical Specification (TS): Drafting a detailed document that outlines all features, structure, and design requirements.

Stage 2: Prototyping and Structure

Before designing, we determine the logic of interaction.

Sitemap Creation: Determining which pages the site will have and how they will be interconnected.
Wireframes Development (Prototypes): Creating a schematic representation of the pages (without colors or graphics) to agree on the placement of key elements (buttons, forms, menus). This saves time in subsequent stages.

Stage 3: UI/UX Design

Designers join the work here, transforming the schemes into a visually appealing and functional product.

UI (User Interface) Design: Developing the visual style, color palette, typography, and icons according to your brand book.
UX (User Experience) Design: Focusing on the user experience—ensuring an easy and intuitive path to the target action (purchase, order).

Stage 4: Layout (Frontend Development)

The design "comes alive" in code.

HTML/CSS/JavaScript: Converting the approved layouts into clean, adaptive code.
Responsiveness: Ensuring correct display on all devices (desktop, tablet, smartphone) according to the Mobile-First principle.

Stage 5: Programming (Backend Development)

Creating the internal logic of the site and connecting the CMS.

CMS Selection and Configuration: Integrating the content management system (WordPress, Laravel, Headless CMS, etc.).
Functionality Development: Creating databases, setting up forms, integrating payment systems, CRM, calculators, and other necessary functionality.

Stage 6: Content Population

The site is ready to be "inhabited."

Copywriting: Creating sales-oriented texts, optimized for SEO requirements (including keywords).
Media Upload and Optimization: Adding photos, videos, and optimizing their size for fast loading.

Stage 7: Testing and Final Adjustments

This stage is critical to avoiding errors after launch.

Functional Testing: Checking the operation of all buttons, forms, integrations, and the shopping cart.
Cross-Browser Testing: Checking how the site is displayed in different browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox).
Load and Security Check: Testing the speed and vulnerability of the system.

Stage 8: Launch & Support

The final chord—placing the site on the hosting and going "live."

Migration: Moving the site to the main hosting and connecting the domain.
SEO Setup: Registering the site with Google Search Console and setting up indexing.
Post-Launch Support: Providing a warranty period and technical support to ensure your site works flawlessly.
