What does website creation include?

European and global trends show that quality web design today means not only aesthetic and functional appearance but also technical optimization to make the site fast and reliable. Key steps in the creation process include understanding business needs and choosing the right technologies, most often CMS platforms like WordPress, which enable easy content management and quick adjustments to needs.

The included processes and phases of website development encompass detailed analysis and definition of business goals, creating a sitemap and wireframe, designing UX/UI prototypes, development and implementation on the chosen platform, as well as post-production testing. Each of these steps is crucial for creating a site that serves users and enables quick conversion.

Included processes and phases

Business goal analysis and market definition
Creating sitemap and wireframe for site structure
Designing UX/UI prototype
Development and implementation on the selected platform

These phases allow the process to be organized and ensure the outcome aligns with expectations. Based on my experience of developing over 40+ websites, I always recommend detailed planning and covering all phases, as this prevents later revisions and saves time and money.

Technologies and platforms

Using WordPress as the primary platform for most small and medium-sized businesses due to ease of customization, a large number of available themes and plugins
Customized solutions for specific requirements, such as custom development in PHP, Laravel or Node.js, especially for complex platforms and tailored functionalities
Integration of the website with domain, hosting, SSL certificates, and other infrastructural elements, which is key for security and reliability

By combining these technologies, you get a valid and long-term sustainable digital resource that supports your business goals and enables growth of online presence.

Website creation process – step by step

My approach to website development is based on a clear plan and methodology. Every project has specific requirements, but the basic process remains similar, from initial planning to launch and ongoing maintenance.

Planning and goal setting

Every successful project begins with defining website objectives. Do we want to increase leads, sales, or simply improve visibility? Precise goal setting helps steer the process toward specific results. It is important to prepare content and branding guidelines, such as logo, colors, and fonts, as they significantly influence the final appearance and recognizability.

In my practice, during a project for a hotel in Niš, we focused on increasing reservations through online forms and managing the Google My Business profile, which resulted in a significant increase in direct bookings.

Design and development

After defining goals, the next steps are design and development. Responsive design is now a standard requirement, and adaptation to mobile devices is essential for quality user experience. Speed optimization, along with basic SEO techniques, must be an integral part of the process.

Development is carried out on secure and reliable platforms, using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript for the client side, and PHP and MySQL for server-side logic. Testing involves checks on different devices and browsers to ensure compatibility and fast loading.

Launch and post-implementation

After completing the development work, the website is launched into production. Monitoring analytics and optimization during the first weeks are indispensable, as they help identify points for improvement. Regular maintenance and security upgrades, including timely system and plugin updates, ensure long-lasting operation and protection from threats.

An example of a successful project is a local appliance repair service in Belgrade, which saw a 45% increase in service inquiries within the first three months after launch due to regular visitor and conversion monitoring.
