7 Steps to Create a Website with StudioMAD
To Create a Professional and Fully Customized Website, we have developed a step-by-step guide to optimize our Processes. At StudioMAD we have specialized and dedicated professionals for each step, Check it out!
Step 1 – Organize the ideas by Briefing!
The Process for Creating a Well-Structured Website starts with organizing all the ideas surrounding the project for creating a Briefing.
But what is Briefing?
Briefing is the term given to the initial set of information aimed at producing a Plan that will be used as a guideline for development. Understand from the colors of preference to what is the main objective of the site: institutional, sales, advertising, capture, portfolio, etc.
Step 2 – Bench Marking (Market Research)
After the process of organizing ideas and understanding your wishes, it is essential to perform a benchmarking or simply market research. In this search we will focus our efforts on Mapping our Direct Competitors, such as their websites, strategies, etc., so that we can identify opportunities and thus scale the work.
Step 3 – Server Hosting Hosting and Domain
In this step we must choose a Hosting Server for your Site where files, images and content will be stored and propagated on the Internet. The hiring is done directly with the servers that will be presented according to the Project. This is also where we must register the domain that will be used.
Step 4 – Design, Layout and Platform Definition
Based on the information captured in the previous steps, we will begin to bring our ideas to life. If the company does not have a Visual Identity defined, we recommend that you read the following article “Defining My Visual Identity”.
This step usually sounds simple, but it is not! The design behind creating a website is complex and laborious. You need to choose a Starter Template, which will depend on the Chosen Platform – where the designer will use as the basis for turning a custom site – the color scheme, layout of the information (such as what will be the topics in the menu bar or where contact information), and the treatment of all images that will be used to compose the Site. It’s a job that requires good taste, talent, agility and a lot of dedication.
The choice of Platform depends solely on your needs, which will be evaluated throughout the Project.
Step 5 – Programming
For all the aesthetics that was proposed by the creation to be in fact functional, it is necessary to resort to a programmer. Through the use of HTML / CSS languages the coding of the created layout is done; You also need to evaluate possible plug-ins that will be inserted (programs that perform extra functions on the site, such as real-time chat, firewalls, integrations, payment methods) and navigability tests.
6- Tests and Approvals
After building a first version of the site, it needs to be tested to make sure it works properly, responsive is set up (functionality that allows screen adaptation) and, most importantly, that the customer is satisfied. At this point we will point out the details and small changes that the customer would like to make so that everything is in their way.
7 – Maintenance
In order to ensure that all features are working properly, that the face of the site is always current, and that new visitors are interested in your business, you must maintain the site. Maintenance ranges from aesthetics – changing banners, colors, inserting new content – to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques. Well-done SEO needs to be constantly optimized, and that ensures that, in the long run, less investment is made in paid search on Google, and your site is more relevant to appearing in organic searches.
