This page is a checklist for businesses planning a new website or a redesign of their current one. As Sova Ajans, based in Adapazarı, Sakarya, we explain what a website considered "modern" today needs to deliver technically and functionally, and which questions to ask before a project begins. For the service itself, see our corporate web design page.
A modern site is more than its looks
Whether a site feels modern is usually judged by its design, yet most of what shapes the visitor's experience is invisible. How quickly pages load, whether the site is comfortable to use on a phone, whether search engines read the content correctly and whether you can update it easily: these determine the site's real value. The list below focuses on that invisible side.
Technical checklist
- Speed: Compressed images, no unnecessary plugins and a fast hosting setup.
- Mobile usability: Every page, form and menu works easily on a phone.
- Search engine readiness: Proper heading structure, descriptive URLs, meta tags and structured data. We handle this through SEO-friendly page optimisation.
- Security: An SSL certificate, up-to-date software components and regular backups.
- Accessibility: Readable font sizes, sufficient colour contrast and descriptive alt text for images.
Functional requirements
Every business expects something different from its website. Clarifying the needs below before the project starts helps plan both time and budget accurately:
- Admin panel: An easy-to-use panel so you can update text, images, products or announcements yourself. For more complex processes, we build custom software and admin panels.
- Multilingual setup: Language options and custom features for businesses serving international clients or tourists. See our multilingual setup and custom modules page.
- Forms and integrations: Quote, booking or application forms, a WhatsApp link and map integration.
- AI search: GEO work so your content is also understood in AI-powered search results.
After launch: maintenance and support
A website still needs attention once it is live. If software updates, backups, domain and hosting renewals and small content edits are not tracked, the site slows down over time or develops security gaps. We take care of these tasks as part of hosting and technical support.
Frequently asked questions
Ready-made theme or custom design?
Both have their place. Ready-made structures can be enough for a quick, simple start; a custom design is a better fit when you need a distinctive look and specific features. We decide together during discovery.
Will my existing content move to the new site?
Yes. When pages and images are moved to the new structure, redirects for the old URLs are planned too, so the visibility you have built in search engines is preserved.
Who updates the content after launch?
With the admin panel, you can update text and images yourself, and we show you how to use it at handover. If you are short on time or need larger changes, we handle updates as part of technical support.
