Our Method

At Aloha Web Designs, we strive to build you the best website. Our process begins with getting a good understanding of your business and goals. After this, we design a mockup for your review. If you like it, we'll start building your site right away. If not, no worries! We'll tweak it until you're satisfied.

How we build websites

We utilize a technology called static hosting to build and deploy our websites. This technology allows us to serve web content with exceptional speed, reliability, and security. Unlike traditional server-based hosting, static hosting delivers pre-built files—such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—directly from a content delivery network (CDN) to users, eliminating the need for real-time server-side processing. This results in significantly faster load times and better performance across all devices and locations. Additionally, because there are no active servers or databases exposed, the surface area for attacks is drastically reduced, making static hosting inherently more secure. This modern approach ensures our websites are not only fast and scalable but also resilient against common vulnerabilities. We begin by crafting a custom design for your website using professional image and layout tools, ensuring every visual detail aligns with your brand. Once you're completely satisfied with the look and feel, our team of highly skilled web developers hand-code the site from scratch—no drag-and-drop builders or generic templates involved. This meticulous, code-first approach not only gives you a truly unique and tailored website, but also guarantees lightning-fast performance and top-tier security. With years of experience behind every line of code, we deliver websites that are beautiful, reliable, and built to last.

Next steps

Building your site is just the beginning—there's still important work to be done to ensure it performs at its best. After development, we meticulously optimize every aspect of your website for SEO, accessibility, performance, and efficiency. This includes writing clean, semantic code that search engines can easily index, ensuring your site is discoverable and ranks well. Once optimization is complete, we deploy your site using our trusted static hosting platform. We configure the content delivery network (CDN) to deliver your site quickly to users around the world, and set up DNS so your custom domain points seamlessly to your new website. After launch, we continue to support your site with ongoing monthly maintenance. This includes managing security updates, monitoring performance and SEO, and making content or design changes—up to one hour of developer time each month. You get a fast, secure, and professionally managed website without lifting a finger.

Domains

A domain is like your website's address on the internet—it tells people (and search engines) where to find you. While technically optional, we highly recommend registering a domain. It gives your business a more professional appearance, builds trust with users, and helps boost your visibility on search engines. Domains are typically affordable, starting as low as $10 per year, though premium ones can cost significantly more. They also need to be renewed periodically. Don’t worry—we’ll guide you through choosing a domain that’s both budget-friendly and great for your brand.

Hosting

Hosting is what makes your website accessible to the world—think of it as your website’s home. Without hosting, your site wouldn’t be visible online. Just like real estate, hosting comes in different levels of quality and cost. A high-traffic website will generally need more robust (and expensive) hosting than a smaller one. As part of our web development process, we handle all the hosting setup for you, ensuring your site has a reliable and secure place to live.

SEO Maintenance

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) isn’t a one-time task—it’s an ongoing effort. Search engines like Google regularly update their algorithms, and users’ search habits evolve over time. To stay competitive, your website’s SEO needs to adapt too. Ongoing SEO maintenance helps improve your chances of ranking well in search results, increasing your visibility and attracting more visitors. While not mandatory, it’s a smart investment if you want your site to grow its audience over time.

Website Health Maintenance

Keeping your website in good health is essential for performance, security, and user experience. Just like a car needs regular tune-ups, your site needs routine checkups. This includes monitoring for broken links, updating software, backing up your data, patching security vulnerabilities, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. If you choose to manage your site yourself, staying on top of these tasks is crucial. If not, we offer maintenance plans to handle it all for you—so your site stays safe, fast, and fully functional.
