We began with a detailed analysis of the business needs of Naya Hookah and its target audience, focusing our approach on local and geographic searches related to the Glyfada area.
The process included:
Keyword Research and Selection: We identified high-demand, low-competition keywords such as “Naya Hookah,” “Hookahs Athens,” and “Hookah Accessories.” These keywords were strategically integrated into the content to enhance the website’s relevance in user searches.
On-Page SEO: We created unique page titles, meta descriptions, and headings with rich content containing targeted keywords. Additionally, the text was organized to improve readability, and internal links were added for better user navigation.

Local SEO: We focused on geographic targeting by adding information like the address, phone number, and an interactive Google map, and registered the business on Google My Business to boost local visibility. References to neighboring areas were also included to expand reach.

Product Presentation
During the development of the Naya Hookah website, we created dedicated pages to showcase their products in an organized and attractive manner, without integrating an eShop functionality, as online sales were not the goal. Instead, the objective was to present the store’s products in a way that helps visitors learn about the options Naya Hookah offers and gain a clear understanding of the variety and quality of its products.
Product Presentation
Hookahs
On the dedicated hookah page, we created a complete presentation of all models and types available at Naya Hookah. Each hookah is detailed with information on design, materials, dimensions, and features, accompanied by high-resolution images showing the product from multiple angles. Visitors can appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of each item, helping them choose the one that best fits their needs.Hookah Bowls
The hookah bowls page highlights the different designs and sizes offered by the store, along with information about the materials (e.g., ceramic, glass, etc.), durability, and performance. Each bowl is presented with images showing its functionality and use with a hookah.Charcoal and Accessories
For hookah charcoal and accessories, we created a page listing all essential items needed to enjoy the hookah experience. This includes details on different types of charcoal (natural, compressed) and accessories such as tongs, gaskets, and cleaning tools. Images demonstrate product use and variations, helping visitors understand each item’s functionality and benefits.Other Accessories and Specialty Products
The website also features a section for additional accessories and specialty products, such as carrying cases, hookah liquids, filters, and related items that complete the hookah experience. Products are presented with detailed descriptions, photos, and usage information.
Custom Presentation Design
The product presentation uses a custom design that highlights Naya Hookah’s products according to the brand’s aesthetic and store style. Each page has a user-friendly layout, easy navigation between categories, and ensures product information is readily accessible.
Facilitating Communication and Inquiries
Although no eShop is integrated, the website enables easy communication. On each product page, visitors can find contact details to request more information or express interest in purchasing via phone or email. Immediate contact options via contact forms or phone numbers enhance user experience and ease of communication.
Conclusion
The presentation of Naya Hookah’s products on the new website provides visitors with an organized and comprehensive view of the available items without requiring online ordering. With custom design, high-quality images, and detailed descriptions, the presentation of hookahs, accessories, and other products creates a professional and appealing digital presence, boosting brand recognition and customer trust.
Speed Optimization
Website loading speed is one of the most critical factors for its success, both in terms of user experience and SEO. We focused on optimizing the website’s speed, ensuring that visitors have fast and seamless access to content, regardless of their device or connection speed.
The process included:
Speed Analysis: We conducted a detailed performance analysis using tools such as Google PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, and WebPageTest to identify areas that required improvement.
Image Optimization: We reduced image sizes without sacrificing quality, using techniques such as file compression, appropriate formats (WebP), and responsive images for different devices.
Caching: We implemented server-side and browser caching mechanisms so frequently visited pages and static files load faster for returning users.
Code Optimization: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code were cleaned and minified by removing unnecessary elements, reducing response times. We also applied lazy loading techniques to load images and scripts only when needed.
CDN (Content Delivery Network): A content delivery network was integrated, ensuring users load the website from the nearest server, reducing data retrieval time.
Server Performance Improvement: We configured the server for higher efficiency using modern technologies such as HTTP/2 and enabled gzip compression to reduce the size of files transmitted to users.
Reduced Response Time: Server interactions with the database were optimized to lower response times, ensuring faster loading of dynamic content.
Real-World Speed Testing: Website performance was tested across different devices and networks (Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G) to ensure the effectiveness of the improvements under real usage conditions.
The Speed Optimization strategy we implemented resulted in a significant reduction in website loading times, improving visitor experience, reducing bounce rates, and enhancing search engine rankings. Moreover, speed has become a competitive advantage, allowing the website to stand out in today’s demanding digital environment.
Website Security
Website security is a top priority, especially in a digital world where cyber threats are constantly increasing. We designed and implemented a comprehensive security plan, ensuring the website is protected from malicious attacks, data breaches, and other risks that could compromise its functionality and reliability.
The process included:
SSL Certificate Installation: We added SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to encrypt communications between the server and users, providing a secure browsing environment and displaying the “lock” icon in browsers.
Protection Against Malicious Activities: Security software was installed and configured to detect and block attacks such as brute force, SQL injections, and cross-site scripting (XSS).
System and Plugin Updates: All plugins, themes, and core software were kept up-to-date with the latest versions, eliminating security vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit.
Backup Implementation: A system of regular automatic backups was established, allowing the website to be restored in case of a breach or technical issue. Backups are stored securely off the main server.
Web Application Firewall (WAF): A WAF was integrated to monitor traffic and block suspicious activity before it reaches the website.
Access Restrictions: Access to the admin area was restricted by changing the default URL and enabling two-factor authentication (2FA), ensuring only authorized users can log in.
Malware Scanning: Tools were implemented to perform regular scans for malware and detect threats before they affect the website’s functionality.
Proper File Permissions: File permissions on the server were adjusted to prevent unauthorized modification or deletion of critical data.
DDoS Protection: Technologies were used to prevent Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which could overload the server and make the website unavailable.
The security plan we implemented guarantees stability, reliability, and protection against current and future threats. Visitors can browse with complete confidence, while the website owner maintains full control of their digital presence without worry.
Responsive Design
Responsive design is a key element of a successful modern website, ensuring that it dynamically adapts to all devices and screen sizes, from smartphones and tablets to desktops and smart TVs. Our goal was to create a seamless user experience, regardless of how visitors access the website.
The process included:
Multi-Device Design: Techniques were applied to ensure the website automatically adjusts to the dimensions and resolutions of each device, maintaining clarity and readability of content. This includes image scaling, menu reorganization, and optimization of icons and buttons.
Flexible Layout: The design was based on a grid system, allowing smooth resizing and alignment of content while maintaining a consistent and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Mobile Speed Optimization: We improved page load speed for mobile devices by reducing file sizes, enabling lazy loading for images, and implementing caching, ensuring users have instant access to content.
Mobile-First Approach: The design process started with the smallest screen (smartphone) and expanded to larger devices. This approach ensures content is fully functional and readable even on the smallest devices.
Adaptive Navigation: Menus were developed to adapt to different devices, such as hamburger menus for mobile and tablets, providing easy access to all sections of the website without unnecessary complexity.
Interactive Features: Buttons, contact forms, and interactive elements were designed with appropriate sizes and spacing for touch screens, ensuring easy usability without compromising navigation experience.
Compatibility Testing: Extensive testing was conducted across multiple browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) and devices (iOS, Android, Windows) to ensure proper functionality and display of the website.
Readability Enhancement: Appropriate font sizes, high-contrast colors, and whitespace were used to ensure content is readable and visually appealing on all devices.
The responsive design we implemented not only allows visitors to navigate the website comfortably, but also improves search engine ranking, as mobile-friendly websites have an advantage. Additionally, adaptation across all devices enhances the professional image of the business, providing a modern and functional browsing experience.
