Project Initiation and Research Phase


  • Needs Analysis and Goal Setting:
    Before starting the project, the client’s needs, goals, and expectations are determined in detail. During this phase, the project’s objectives are clarified and success criteria are established.

  • Market and Competitor Research:
    Other websites in the relevant sector, competitor analyses, and current design trends are examined. This helps in identifying both the dynamics specific to the industry and innovative approaches that will set the project apart.

  • Target Audience and User Research:
    Comprehensive research is conducted on the audience that will use the website. User profiles are created. By mapping out user journeys and scenarios, the website is structured to meet the needs of its users.

Information Architecture and Design Phase


  • Developing the Information Architecture:
    Based on the data gathered during the research phase, the content structure and navigation flow of the website are determined. Decisions are made regarding which information to highlight and how pages and sections should be organized.

  • Wireframing and Drafting:
    Rough prototypes (wireframes) are created to visualize initial ideas. This phase outlines the basic layout of the website, user flow, and key interaction points.

  • Detailed Design and Prototyping:
    Based on the wireframes, detailed prototypes that closely resemble the final product are developed. All design elements—such as the color palette, typography, visuals, and animations—are integrated in a way that aligns with the brand’s corporate identity.

Development and Functional Integration Phase


  • Custom Code Components and Functions:
    To transform the design prototypes into interactive and functional solutions, custom code components are developed. These components include features such as interactive calendars or specialized gallery functions that enhance the user experience.

  • Responsive Design:
    During development, responsive design principles are applied to ensure that the website works seamlessly across all devices and screen sizes. Mobile, tablet, and desktop experiences are optimized.

  • Integration and System Connections:
    When necessary, integrations with third-party APIs or databases are implemented to enable dynamic content management and real-time data updates.

Testing and Optimization Phase


  • Usability Testing:
    Detailed prototypes are tested with the target audience. During these tests, user interactions with the website are observed, and any issues with navigation or interactivity are identified.

  • Performance and Device Testing:
    The website’s performance is tested across different devices and browsers. Mobile compatibility, page load times, and interaction smoothness are evaluated, and necessary optimizations are made.

  • Feedback and Revisions:
    Based on user tests and client feedback, final adjustments and improvements are implemented. This ensures that the final product is flawless in every aspect.

Launch and Post-Launch


  • Launch Preparation and Go-Live:
    After all testing and optimization processes are complete, final checks are conducted before the project goes live. Once the launch preparations are finished, the website is officially published.

  • Support and Continuous Improvement:
    Post-launch, performance monitoring, user feedback collection, and technical support services continue. Necessary updates and improvements are carried out over time to ensure that the website remains current and fully functional.
