TCU's Web Development Approach for Teal Studio

Discovery & Direction Setting

We began with collaborative sessions to understand Teal Studio’s operations, client needs, and the website’s role in their customer journey, while analyzing competitors.

Wireframing & Visual Design

We designed mobile-first wireframes and a clean visual system, aligning every layout with the user journey and positioning CTAs with purpose.

Custom Development in Laravel

We custom-built the site in Laravel for performance and scalability, with a hand-coded HTML/CSS front end ensuring fast loads and smooth cross-device experience

Booking Flow Enhancement

We developed a booking interface that minimized clicks, auto-filled common data, and integrated real-time calendar availability. This step alone contributed significantly to increase conversions.

Launch & Ongoing Refinement

Post-launch, we monitored user behavior, refined interactions for clarity and speed, and provided documentation for smooth in-house management.
