From a technical perspective, a Yano site can be deployed and ready in a matter of hours. But from a practical perspective, four weeks from kick-off to go-live reflects an average deployment timeline. Simple, smaller sites will be quicker, whilst larger sites with feeds and integrations can be a little longer but four to six weeks is a good guide. In comparison, typical larger bespoke website builds will average 16 weeks plus. We will prepare a project schedule for you following our initial scoping conversations.

Building on our extensive digital and brand work with global organisations, Yano has initially been developed for corporate clients and our module set reflects this. Alongside the expected management and styling of text and image content, our module design and functionality cover all ‘typical’ needs including carousels, promoted content, accordions, timelines, biographies quotes, news, insights, iframe integrations, share data feeds and more. As part of our SaaS product development, new modules and functionality will continue to be added and will be immediately available across all existing and new Yano sites.

By removing the ‘blank canvas’ of a bespoke build, we’ve defined functional modules and design customisation within the Yano platform. While Yano offers extensive customisation beyond basic templates, limiting infinite possibilities allows us to deliver a solution that reduces both time to go-live and cost. As a creative agency, our goal has always been to deliver visually exceptional work. We may be biased, but in our view, Yano’s design customisation provides far more flexibility than rigid page templates, resulting in creative outcomes that look fantastic.

Yano is a digital product that may not be right for everyone. Larger and more complex projects will likely require a bespoke consultancy, design, and build approach (something we at SampsonMay can certainly help with). Due to the rigorous and secure hosting infrastructure on which Yano is built, the cost may not align for some smaller clients. However, for businesses looking to keep their initial costs down while maintaining the flexibility to develop and grow, Yano is an excellent choice.
