I need a website: where should I start?
You want a website for your business, but the first decision is what it should help customers do. For a business in Tbilisi or elsewhere in Georgia, that might mean requesting a quote, booking an appointment or buying a product. Start with that action, then choose the pages and features that support it.
Choose the right kind of website
A company website explains your services and makes it easy to contact you. A landing page focuses on one offer or campaign. An online store needs a product catalogue, checkout and order management. A custom web application suits a workflow that ordinary content pages cannot handle.
- Company website: services, about, real projects and contact details.
- Landing page: one audience, one offer and one clear next step.
- Online store: products, delivery rules, payments and returns.
- Web application: user roles, data and connections to existing systems.
Write a short brief before requesting a quote
List your audience, the action you want visitors to take and the information they need before taking it. Add the required languages, approximate page count and any booking, CRM or payment integrations. Share your logo, available photographs and examples of sites whose structure you find useful.
- Who is the website for, and what questions do they ask?
- Who will supply and approve the Georgian and English text?
- Who needs to update pages after launch?
- What must be ready for the first release, and what can wait?
Plan discovery and enquiries together
Give each service a useful page that explains the problem, scope and next step. Show completed projects with the client's real name. Keep forms short and test them on a phone. For Georgian and English audiences, plan separate language URLs and translations from the start rather than adding them at the end.
At 566dev, website planning, interface design and development can be scoped together. Send your brief to discuss the page structure, content responsibilities and launch checks before work begins.
Questions before you start
- Can I order a website without having all the text ready?
- Yes, you can begin with a page outline and a list of missing content. Agree who will write, translate and approve it, because those tasks affect the scope and launch date.
- Do I need a company website or an online store?
- Choose a company website if visitors mainly need information and a way to contact you. Choose an online store if customers need to select products, pay and track an order on the site.
