  5. User Testing: In preparation for launch, SGD conducted testing across various devices and browsers to ensure flawless functionality and a consistent user experience.
  6. Launch and Ongoing Support: Upon SALA’s approval, the new website was launched, marking a significant milestone in the restaurant’s online journey. SGD continues to monitor the site’s performance, making necessary adjustments to maintain optimal functionality and performance.
  7. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) services: SGD also provided SALA with SEO services. This included custom keyword research and targeted link building campaigns to drive organic traffic to the website, with the aim of leading to more people finding out about the restaurant online.
