Corporate website development: structure that matches demand, without losing traffic

A site on WordPress, Webflow or a modern framework, structured around the way people actually search. If a site already exists, we start with a page map and redirects so the redesign doesn't cost you enquiries.

A corporate website isn't a landing page with ten sections — it's a structure of dozens or hundreds of pages: services, industries, case studies, blog, locations. How that structure is built decides whether the site can grow in search: one catch-all services list page competes for nothing, while a separate page per service does. The second question usually surfaces too late: what happens to the old site. The expensive mistake in any redesign is new URLs without redirects and copy trimmed for the sake of the layout — the site launches and a month later there are fewer enquiries than before. So when a site already exists we start not with design but with a map: which pages bring visits and enquiries, what stays, what moves, what closes. And we say plainly that launching a site doesn't produce traffic by itself — new pages need time to be indexed.

Challenges we solve

What our clients typically face

🏚️

Redesigned, and enquiries dropped

New addresses without redirects and copy cut for the layout. The site looks better and brings in less than the one it replaced.

🔀

Illogical URL structure

URLs like /page/services/12/detail/45 — search engines can't parse the hierarchy. Key pages receive low internal weight.

🐌

The site is slow

A heavy build with a dozen plugins and uncompressed images. Speed is one ranking factor among many, but the real cost is people leaving before it loads.

📄

Duplicate content and cannibalization

Products accessible via 3-5 URLs (filters, tags, categories). Google picks one at random — losing traffic and authority.

🔒

Nothing can be changed without the agency

Every text and image edit goes back to the vendor and waits in a queue. Over a year that costs more than the build did.

🌐

Multilingual via broken plugins

WordPress plugin puts /en/ instead of /en/blog/, hreflang doesn't work, content duplicates. Google penalizes.

Pricing

What it costs

Corporate website build

from $15,000 per project

The number from our pricing page. It covers a structure built around real demand, base semantics, schema markup and preparation for search and AI answers — so the site doesn't need rebuilding in six months.

If a site already exists and the job is not to lose what it brings in, we start with an audit of current pages and a redirect map, not with design.

What the price depends on

  • Size of the structure: how many services, sections and languages
  • Whether you need a catalogue, an account area or a pricing calculator
  • Platform and integrations with your systems
  • Whether content and source facts exist or have to be produced

Launching a site doesn't produce traffic on its own: new pages need time to be indexed and to earn trust.

Where the limits are

Who this service is for

A good fit if

  • The site is dated and works against sales: it's unclear what you do and what it costs
  • The structure can't take growth — services keep being added with nowhere to put them
  • You're planning to invest in SEO and don't want to rebuild the site six months after launch

Not a fit if

  • Only the visuals are up for discussion and structure and copy are fixed — that's a design job and we're the wrong people
  • Decisions are made on looks alone, with no regard for what produces enquiries
  • Nobody can supply the facts: prices, terms, limitations

How not to lose traffic in a redesign

This is the expensive mistake: the site goes live and a month later there are fewer enquiries from search than before. The cause is nearly always the same — lost URLs and copy trimmed for the sake of the layout. The sequence that prevents it:

1

Map what works today

Export every URL and check which pages bring visits and enquiries. Half the traffic often comes from a section everyone inside the company had forgotten.

2

Decide the fate of every URL in advance

Stays as is, moves to a new address, or closes. Redirect maps are prepared before launch, not after the complaints.

3

Move the substance, not just the design

If a page brought people in, its copy can't be cut to three lines for whitespace. Prettier, yes — but they stop coming.

4

Verify on staging

Indexing, URLs, meta, markup, speed. And separately: that the staging site is closed to crawlers, or it lands in the results instead of the real one.

5

Launch and watch the first weeks

Search Console and analytics daily: crawl errors, dropped pages, a spike in 404s. The first fortnight is when you catch everything.

6

Reconcile after a month

Compare traffic and enquiries against the old site, section by section. A short dip is normal; a dip that doesn't recover is worth investigating.

What to build into the structure from day one

  • A separate page for every service people search for separately. A single "Services" list page competes for nothing
  • Room for industry and location pages if you work beyond one city
  • Prices, or at least a range and the logic behind the quote: a page without pricing loses to one that has it
  • A place for answers to customer questions — that's exactly the material assistants quote
  • Readable URLs and breadcrumbs: both people and crawlers navigate by them
  • One place where prices, phone numbers and terms live, so they don't drift apart across sections

Launching the site is not the same as having traffic

After a migration or a launch, new pages need time: search engines have to crawl them, assess them and match them to queries. That takes weeks, and months on competitive topics. A site built right the first time shortens the runway and saves you the rebuild, but it doesn't remove it. So we don't promise growth from the fact of launching, and we suggest planning the work that follows — at minimum, content for the key sections and monitoring for errors.

Principles

Our working principles

🏗️

SEO architecture > design

Beautiful design doesn't matter if the site isn't indexable. Structure first, styling second.

⚡

Speed comes first

Core Web Vitals is a Google ranking factor and drives user retention. We optimize everything to <2 seconds.

🎯

Every page targets a specific intent

Not 100 'brochure pages' but 100 pages targeting 100 specific search clusters.

🔓

Client owns the site

Full access, documentation, training. Want to switch agencies? You leave with your site, not stuck with us.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does a corporate site take?

It depends on the size of the structure and on how fast facts and content come from your side — that's usually the real bottleneck, not development. We give a schedule after the brief, once the number of page types and integrations is clear. What we won't do is promise a date before we know what's being built.

Can you migrate an existing site without losing traffic?

That's exactly how we approach a redesign. Before anything else we export every URL and check which pages bring visits and enquiries, then decide the fate of each one: stays, moves with a redirect, or closes. After launch we watch Search Console and analytics daily for the first weeks and reconcile section by section after a month. A short dip is normal; a dip that doesn't recover means something was missed.

WordPress, Webflow or a custom front end?

WordPress suits a services-and-blog site with a limited budget and plenty of ready solutions — but it needs regular updates, because neglected installs are the ones that get hacked. Webflow is comfortable for design-led sites with modest structures. A custom front end with server rendering earns its cost when speed targets are strict or the logic is non-standard, at the price of needing a developer for changes.

What integrations are included?

We establish that at the brief stage. Standard connections to a CRM and analytics are part of the build. Anything custom — your own systems, a client area, complex pricing logic — is scoped separately, because that work is a project of its own rather than a checkbox.

Will the site scale as we grow?

That's a structural decision made at the start: page types, URL logic and templates that new sections can be added to without a rebuild. It's the difference between adding a service in an afternoon and commissioning a new project for each one.

Do you guarantee the code?

We fix defects in what we built at no charge, with the period written into the contract before work starts. Changes to new requirements are separate tasks. Releases go through a staging site rather than straight to the live one, and there's always a rollback point.
