Custom Website Development and Design for Your Business

Website development is sometimes complex and involved, but essential.

For us, developing a website means building a marketing machine: every choice — from page architecture to copy, from loading speed to conversion paths — is guided by data, business goals and SEO strategy. We don’t build “pretty sites”: we build sites that work.

To do this, it’s not enough to handle the technical aspects — you also need (and above all) good ideas and quality copy: the text must be well-written and engaging, as well as crafted to effectively talk about you and your business.

It’s also essential that they’re SEO-optimized, so they can rank as well as possible on search engines (Google above all).

It’s precisely thanks to SEO, i.e. search engine optimization, that your content lets your company be found, translating into new customers and new business opportunities.

The quality of the copy goes hand in hand with the quality of the graphic content, i.e. the images, icons and all the visuals chosen for your website.

If the copy is important, how it’s shown and conveyed is equally important.

That’s why it’s also crucial to have a graphic layout that’s pleasing to look at, in line with current trends, that catches the eye and attracts visitors.

Website development work involves working on text and graphics together with the use of the latest technologies to build sites that are interactive and modern, creative and original, and that ensure excellent functionality and the best usability.

The preliminary work phases involve an initial analysis of the company and a research and benchmarking process.

After listening to the client’s wishes and business goals, we draw up a project brief, which also includes defining the purpose, timeline, target audience and way of working.

The preliminary SEO activity for website development consists of researching and defining the keywords on which we’ll build the ranking of your company site’s pages.

This also involves analyzing search volumes, competitor activity and link profile, on the basis of which we define the site’s menu structure.

Based on the content map, purpose and wishes expressed by the client, in the second phase we develop the site’s layout, i.e. its visual appearance, also defining fonts, colors and style.

Starting from a design draft in the form of a graphic scheme, we arrive at the final graphic design of the website.

Once the site’s structure and graphics are set, it’s time to focus on content: for each of the pages defined by the menu structure, we create quality copy (original and custom-written) that will make up the site’s text content.

In the development phase, we witness the actual birth of the new website: our web designers work together with developers, starting from the established graphic elements.

In this phase, we implement the CMS (WordPress or Drupal), the code to be used (HTML/CSS) and any additional features (such as e-commerce).

Once the website is uploaded, we add analytics software: this lets us monitor the SEO ranking of the site’s various pages, measure the number of site visits and study web traffic data (age, interests, geographic origin, behavior, etc.).

After a testing and debugging phase to verify the site’s full functionality and compatibility, and once the client’s final approval is obtained, we go ahead and launch the website: the site is then made accessible to the public for browsing and is ready for its official launch.

When SEO optimization is required, the design phase is followed by keyword research and study on which to structure the site’s content; we then move on to creating the copy and preparing the photographic and graphic material.

Once content, graphics and technologies are defined, we then focus on the assembly phase and actual development of the website.

Different technologies can be used: at OTO Agency, we focus on WordPress and Drupal.

WordPress is the most successful CMS, the most widely used software platform in the world for website development; it’s extremely versatile and suited to building any type of site, whether corporate sites, e-commerce or blogs.

We use Drupal for more complex applications instead, for portals that require high customization and specific features.

Beyond building the site, we also handle any integration with third-party business software, management systems, commercial CRM programs and much more.

Our strength lies in having a dedicated team of highly specialized developers and web designers within our agency.

We put all our resources and expertise to work for every website development need, with an innovative and responsible approach, always staying focused on results: our work doesn’t end with building and delivering the website, but continues with performance monitoring and analysis, constantly tracking business results.
