They combine a fast, secure foundation with design and content built around your customers. SEO is part of the build from the start. Your hosting plan includes small to medium updates, so the site can keep moving with your business. Can Google and AI search understand my current website? Possibly. Age alone does not make a site unreadable. What matters is whether search systems can access the pages and understand the content. We review the structure, service information, technical settings and useful answers, then recommend what needs improving. Will my website get four green Google scores? We aim for 90 or above across Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices and SEO in Google Lighthouse. We test and refine the build. Actual results vary by page, device, content and third-party tools. The green indicators on this page show our build target, not a measured client result or a search-ranking guarantee. What updates are included in hosting? Small to medium updates are included, such as changing text and photos, updating service information and refreshing existing pages. Send us what needs changing and we will take care of it. Major redesigns, new systems and substantial new functionality are quoted separately before work starts. Can you keep my existing content and search visibility? Yes. We review your current pages, keep useful content and plan redirects for URLs that change. Preserving the work you have already put into search is part of the migration, not an afterthought. Search positions can still change after any rebuild. Can you add bookings, calculators or connections to our other tools? Yes. We can build enquiry forms, booking journeys, quote tools, calculators and connections to your CRM or other business software. We scope the right features with you and make the costs clear before building them. Will I ever need to rebuild again? Our aim is to give you a website you can keep improving, rather than replacing it every few years. We keep it current as part of an ongoing relationship. A major change to your business or a substantial new requirement may still need a separately scoped project. Do you still build WordPress and Shopify websites? Yes. We will recommend the right fit for your business. WordPress and Shopify remain options, especially when you need their particular editing or ecommerce capabilities.
