- What is included in your web development services?
- We plan the website around your audience, content and business goals. An agreed scope can include a page and content inventory, responsive interface design, website development, CMS setup, forms, integrations, testing and launch support. Before work starts, the proposal identifies the pages and features, who supplies copy and images, review milestones and exclusions. We work with businesses in the USA and Canada; communication arrangements are agreed around your team's availability.
- Can you redesign our website while protecting existing SEO?
- Yes. A website redesign starts with reviewing the existing pages, URLs and available search data. We identify useful content to retain, map changed URLs to relevant redirects, and review headings, metadata, internal links, canonicals and the sitemap. Launch checks cover important pages and redirects; post-launch monitoring can be included in scope. Search visibility can change during a migration, and rankings depend on factors beyond the build. We agree the migration responsibilities before replacing the existing site.
- Should we choose WordPress or a custom website, and can we edit it ourselves?
- The choice depends on how your team publishes content, which integrations you need and who will maintain the website. WordPress can suit familiar publishing workflows; a custom frontend with a CMS can suit more specific interface and content requirements. We compare editor access, hosting, licences, updates and ongoing maintenance before recommending a platform. If content editing is part of the scope, we provide structured fields, access to the agreed CMS and guidance for routine updates. New functionality may still require development work.
- How much does a business website cost, and how long does development take?
- We estimate after reviewing page types, content readiness, design requirements, CMS needs and external integrations. A marketing website and an application with accounts or business workflows have different delivery needs. Share your existing URL, priority pages, desired launch date and budget range so we can propose a useful scope. The proposal sets the price, payment milestones, dependencies and review schedule. Content delays, additional features or third-party requirements can affect delivery; changes are discussed before the scope is expanded.
- What do you check before launch, and who maintains the website afterwards?
- We review representative pages on the agreed devices and browsers, test forms and integrations, check keyboard navigation and focus states, and assess image delivery and loading behaviour. For a redesign, we also check the agreed URL migration. Your handover records the agreed code or platform access, editor guidance, deployment steps, licences and remaining responsibilities. Ownership is defined in the agreement. Hosting, security updates, backups, ongoing SEO and maintenance are included only where specified; support arrangements can be agreed separately. These checks do not establish an accessibility certification or guarantee a search ranking.
