FAQs
General Contractor Website Design questions
Will the new site keep our Google rankings?
Yes, when it is done properly. We map every old URL to its new page with permanent redirects and check rankings and indexing after launch. Protecting SEO is built into every launch.
How long does a new website take?
Most sites launch in about six weeks from the start of discovery, depending on the number of pages and how quickly content is approved.
Can we update the site ourselves?
Yes. Sites are built on WordPress with an editor your team can use, and we show you how at launch.
