Process

A Full-Stack Process Designed for Serious Websites

No guesswork. No half-finished builds. Every project moves through a structured, technical workflow — from strategy and architecture to clean code, VPS hosting and long-term optimisation.

Detailed Breakdown

What Actually Happens Behind the Scenes

This is the part most agencies gloss over. Here’s exactly how your project moves from first conversation to a live, monitored VPS environment.

Technical Discovery & Strategy

We start with the whole picture: your business model, services, locations, competitors and how you want people to use the site.

  • Business goals, ideal customers & key services
  • Current site review (if you have one)
  • Competitor & search landscape overview
  • Initial performance & technical health checks

Architecture, Planning & Blueprint

Before a single line of code is written, we design the structure that will keep the site fast, logical and easy to grow.

  • Sitemap, page list and content priorities
  • Wireframes / layout concepts for key pages
  • Component list (cards, CTAs, forms, sections)
  • Hosting approach: VPS resources, regions, backups
  • SEO plan: core pages, intent and key phrases

Build: Front-End, Back-End & SEO Foundations

This is where the project becomes real — with clean, maintainable code and a proper hosting environment.

  • Front-end built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript & Bootstrap
  • Back-end & routing with Node.js / Express (where required)
  • Responsive layouts for mobile, tablet and desktop
  • Image optimisation, WebP and lazy loading
  • Schema markup, meta tags and XML sitemaps baked in

Staging, Testing & Review

You see the site in a safe staging environment before anything goes live. This is where we refine content and polish details.

  • Staging link for live review on real devices
  • Cross-browser & device testing
  • Performance & Core Web Vitals checks
  • Accessibility and usability pass
  • Structured data / schema validation

Deployment, Monitoring & Ongoing Support

Once you’re happy, we move the site to production and keep an eye on it long term.

  • Deployment to a managed VPS environment
  • Nginx, SSL, security hardening & backups configured
  • Google Analytics 4 & Search Console wired in
  • Post-launch monitoring and early issue catching
  • Optional SEO & content support as you grow
Why This Process Matters

How We Work vs a Typical “Template” Web Build

On the surface, both give you a website. Under the hood, the approach — and long-term results — are completely different.

JG Web & Cloud Solutions

  • Hand-coded layouts, not drag-and-drop templates
  • Dedicated VPS hosting tuned specifically for your site
  • One person responsible for code, server & SEO foundations
  • Clear technical documentation and a structured process
  • Built for future features, not boxed into a theme

Typical Web Agency

  • Generic themes reused across dozens of clients
  • Shared hosting with limited performance & control
  • One team builds, another “does SEO”, another hosts
  • Process hidden behind jargon and vague milestones
  • Hard to extend, slow to update, often rebuilt from scratch
