Strategy
Goals, audience and scope defined first.
// Our Process
A clear process, from first brief to launch
No black box and no guesswork. Every SmartCodex project follows the same six steps, so you always know what stage we are at, what happens next and what is expected from your side.
UX/UI Design
Structure and interface shaped around real journeys.
Development
Clean, responsive front-end implementation.
Optimization
Performance, technical SEO and QA before release.
Launch
Deployment, final checks and ongoing support.
// Step by step
The six steps in detail
Each step has a purpose, a clear input from you and a concrete result you can review.
01Discover
Understand the business and the project
We start with a conversation about your business, your goals, your audience and what the website has to achieve. We look at what exists today, what your competitors do well, and which pages and functionality the project actually requires.
What we need from you
- Your goals and priorities
- Existing brand assets, if any
- Examples of websites you like
What you get at this stage
- A clear summary of the scope
- A realistic timeline
- An agreed starting point
02Plan
Define the structure and the journey
Before any design work, we map the website: pages, navigation, the content each page needs and the path a visitor takes from arriving to contacting you. Planning is where most website problems are prevented.
What we need from you
- Content you already have
- Answers to a short content brief
- Feedback on the proposed structure
What you get at this stage
- A page-by-page sitemap
- A content checklist
- The main user journey defined
03Design
Create the visual direction and the UX/UI
We design the interface: layout, typography, colour, components and states, on desktop and mobile. You review the design and we refine it, so nothing goes into development before it is agreed.
What we need from you
- Design feedback in one consolidated round
- Final logo and brand details
- Approval to build
What you get at this stage
- Key page designs
- A consistent component set
- Responsive layout direction
04Develop
Build and integrate the website
The approved design becomes a working website: semantic HTML, structured CSS, JavaScript where it adds value, working forms and integrated content, tested across browsers and devices.
What we need from you
- Final text and images
- Hosting and domain access
- Any third-party accounts to connect
What you get at this stage
- A responsive, working website
- Forms and integrations in place
- A preview link to review
05Optimize
Review performance, usability and technical SEO
Before launch we go through the details: loading performance, image sizes, responsive behaviour, accessibility basics, page titles and metadata, sitemap, robots and structured data, plus a full content proofread.
What we need from you
- Final content corrections
- Confirmation of page titles
- Sign-off to go live
What you get at this stage
- Performance and SEO checks
- Cross-device QA
- A launch-ready website
06Launch & Support
Go live, then keep improving
We deploy the website, verify that everything works in the live environment — forms, links, redirects, analytics — and hand over what you need to manage it. Support for maintenance and updates is available where applicable.
What we need from you
- A short handover session
- Decisions on ongoing support
- Future content ideas
What you get at this stage
- A live website
- Post-launch checks
- Ongoing maintenance options
// Working together
How we keep projects moving
One point of contact
You deal directly with the person designing and building your website — no briefs lost between departments.
Review at each stage
Structure, design and build are each approved before the next stage begins, so surprises are caught early.
Written and documented
Scope, decisions and handover notes are written down, so what was agreed stays clear for both sides.
