Websites built and designed by smrt studio
Our platform
We build all of our websites on the WordPress platform, which offers flexibility, scalability, and ease of management. However, we can also develop on other platforms when needed, for example, Shopify for e-commerce projects.
Crafted messaging
Messaging that hits the correct tone for your website is just as important as having one. We craft messaging to fit your business and the audience it will be talking to.
Action oriented
We build your website around driving your audience to the intended action. Contact, request, inquire, buy – whatever it happens to be.
Purposeful images
Let’s face it – sometimes the only option is stock. But let’s choose that stock wisely. Make your existing images look as good as possible. And where there’s budget, let’s create our own images.
Post-launch
Once the website is deployed, it’s important to implement a post-launch plan that covers your marketing strategy, promotion activities, traffic goals, conversion targets, and ongoing growth initiatives.
Our website build process
While the detailed process is a bit different for each project, the main pillars of a successful website development project remain firm.
Client insight
smrt studio requires education about your business, services, products, history, etc.
Problem statements
What current challenges is the website expected to solve?
Research
How are other industry leaders handling similar challenges? What can be learned from cross-disciplinary website execution?
Site map & content
What information hierarchy does the website need to fulfill? What content requires development, and which content already exists?
Brief
Accounting for all components and feature requirements that the website build needs to satisfy.
Design
Assembling and defining for colours, typography, styles, accessibility requirements, and all visuals necessary to achieve the correct communicational tone of voice.
Development
WordPress development built in conjunction with all necessary plugins, and integrations.
Approvals
Weaving these in at various intervals throughout the project is imperative to project success and cadence.
Deployment
Forming a launch plan for your new site to ensure impact amongst your target audience.
What features might you need?
E-commerce
The options for e-commerce website features revolve solely around your unique business requirements. Choosing the right e-commerce platform is integral to where your business is headed in the future.
Data management
Your data management requirements need to be considered before any website project hits production. Data management works hand-in-glove with hosting considerations, platform, security, and much more.
Secure appointment booking
Healthcare and other sectors require special security for appointment booking, forms – anywhere confidential information is being submitted by the user.
