Creating a website from scratch can be a rewarding yet challenging experience, especially when the primary goal is learning. In this case study, we explore the journey of developing SushiHelsinki.fi, a sushi restaurant website for listing and reviewing sushi restaurants in Helsinki. This project was undertaken to sharpen our data-driven content creation skills, experiment with new technologies, and understand the end-to-end process of bringing a website to life.
Objectives of the project
- Responsive Design: We aimed to create a fully responsive website that offers a seamless experience across various devices, from desktops to mobile phones.
- SEO Optimization: Understanding the basics of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and applying them to ensure the website ranks well in search results.
- User Experience (UX) Focus: We wanted to learn about designing intuitive interfaces and providing a great user experience.
Initial results: 40-60 daily users four months after the launch
The website was launched in early May. In July we launched our first restaurant pages. This seemed to have a very positive effect on organic search traffic.
We will share more updates about this learning project on our website. Check out our first article about the Sushi Helsinki project in Finnish.
