Corporate Website Development: SEO-Architected from Day One
Multi-page corporate websites on WordPress, Webflow, or Next.js. Services, products, industries, cases, blog — all built with proper SEO architecture from the start.
A corporate website isn't a 'landing page with 10 sections'. It's a structured system of 50-500 pages: services, products, industries, case studies, blog, about, contact. Standard agencies build design-first — beautiful, then 'we'll pass it to SEO'. Six months later, the client learns pages aren't indexed, backlinks were lost during migration, product pages have duplicate content, and any template change is a week-long developer task. We build SEO-first architecture: proper URL hierarchy, sitemap structure aligned with keyword clusters, complete schema.org markup, optimized CMS with flexible content editing, Core Web Vitals 90+, and scalability to 10,000+ pages.
What our clients typically face
Beautiful but not indexed
Design-first agency approach: design first, retrofit SEO. Result: 30% of pages not indexed, backlink profile stagnant.
Illogical URL structure
URLs like /page/services/12/detail/45 — search engines can't parse the hierarchy. Key pages receive low internal weight.
5-10 second load time
Heavy WordPress with poorly optimized plugins. Core Web Vitals in the red — guaranteed ranking penalty from Google.
Duplicate content and cannibalization
Products accessible via 3-5 URLs (filters, tags, categories). Google picks one at random — losing traffic and authority.
Nothing editable in-house
Every text or image change goes back to the agency for $500-2,000. Or a complex admin panel where you can easily break things.
Multilingual via broken plugins
WordPress plugin puts /en/ instead of /en/blog/, hreflang doesn't work, content duplicates. Google penalizes.

Frequently asked questions
WordPress vs Webflow vs Next.js — how to choose?
WordPress: mature ecosystem, cheaper to maintain, great for content-heavy sites and SMBs. Webflow: cleaner code, easier content editing, better for design-forward brands ($15-30K). Next.js: fastest performance and best SEO, but more expensive to develop and maintain — ideal for startups and unique projects (from $50K). We recommend based on your specific needs during discovery.
What does 'SEO architecture' actually mean?
Site structure is designed around your semantic core (collected in advance), not marketing wishlists. Every page = a keyword cluster. URLs, H1s, breadcrumbs, meta, schema — all synchronized with target keywords. Result: the site is ready to rank from the first week of indexing, not '3 months from now when we hire an SEO consultant'.
Timeline from brief to launch?
WordPress Business (20-40 pages): 6-8 weeks. Corporate Site (50-200 pages): 10-14 weeks. Enterprise Portal: 4-6 months. Includes brief, keyword research, prototypes, design, development, content, testing, launch. Rush timelines available at 30-50% premium.
Do you migrate existing sites?
Yes — migration without SEO loss is a specialty. We configure 301 redirects for all old URLs, preserve accumulated backlink authority, transfer content while retaining semantics. Over 40+ migrations we've never lost rankings — typically traffic grows 20-40% post-migration due to better architecture.
What if we need rare integrations (custom ERP, Salesforce)?
We discuss the specific requirements during discovery. Standard integrations (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, GA4, analytics) are included in base pricing. Custom (proprietary ERP, specialized warehouse systems, unique payment processors) is quoted separately — typically $5-20K additional. We have backend developers on the team.
What if we need to grow from 50 to 5,000 pages later?
We architect for scale from the beginning. Ready CMS templates for new page types. Mass generation of landing pages (e.g., 'service × city') via the admin without developer involvement. In 3-6 months you can go from 50 to 5,000 pages independently — only content team involvement needed.
Do you provide warranty on the code?
12-month warranty on custom code. Bugs in standard functionality — fixed free. Changes for new requirements — via retainer or hourly. All components covered by automated tests. Deployments go through staging → production, with 2-minute rollback if needed.
