Enterprise website development

A REBUILD NOBODY CAN AFFORD TO GET WRONG.

Website development for companies with several offers, several stakeholders and a site that already has traffic to protect. Every old URL mapped before launch.

  • Every old URL mapped
  • Fixed scope, fixed price
  • Your code, your hosting
  • Built for the US and UK
The problem

THE BIG REBUILD IS WHERE THE TRAFFIC GOES TO DIE.

A site with history is a harder job than a site without one, and almost none of the difficulty is design. It is the four hundred URLs somebody linked to, the CMS three people learned, the forms wired into a system nobody documented, and the six months it takes to get five people to agree on a homepage. Those are the parts that fail, and they fail after launch, when it is expensive.

The general case, the speed receipts and every build we have shipped are on website development. This page is the half of it written for a site that already has something to lose.

Where it goes wrong

FOUR THINGS THAT KILL A REBUILD.

  • 01

    Nobody owns the decision

    Five stakeholders with a veto and no brief is how a rebuild takes nine months. We fix the scope in writing before any code, and every round of feedback goes against a working site rather than a mockup, so the argument is about a real page instead of a direction.

  • 02

    The old URLs are nobody's job

    The most expensive mistake in a rebuild, and it is invisible until the rankings drop six weeks later. Every URL on the old site is mapped to a page on the new one before launch, and the ones with no equivalent are pointed somewhere honest rather than at the homepage.

  • 03

    The CMS was built for the developer

    If publishing a case study needs a ticket, it does not get published. The CMS is shaped around your actual content types, not a generic set of fields, and the people who will use it get a recorded walkthrough at launch so they can watch it twice.

  • 04

    It is quick because it is empty

    A rebuild scores well on speed the week it launches and four seconds a year later, once the real library, the tracking and the embeds are in. It is built and tested with the content it will actually carry, on a phone, not scaled down from a desktop layout at the end.

The work

COMPANY SITES, LIVE.

A SaaS product, a sales practice, a consultancy and a nonprofit. Open any of them.

Some of these can load live, straight from the client's own domain, which sets that site's cookies.

In their words

WHAT THEY SAID AFTERWARDS.

  • ★★★★★

    Working with Nitesh and the Storifex team was a great experience. They built our website exactly the way we wanted and also helped us automate a lot of our day-to-day work, including email workflows, proposal generation, and outreach.

    Nitesh helped us redesign our website and was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. He took the time to understand our business, listened carefully to our feedback, and came up with thoughtful suggestions that made the site much clearer, more intuitive, and professional.

    Nitesh rebuilt our website and quickly understood what an advisory firm needs it to do. He took a fairy comple set of services and made them clear and credible, and he was responsible through every round of feedack. The new site finally reflects how we actually work with clients, and it has made those first conversations much easier. Genuinely glad we worked with him.

What it costs

WHAT IT COSTS.

Starting prices

Full site + CMS

Several offers, structured, on a CMS your team runs.

From$2,500

  • Every page the offer needs, structured in order
  • A CMS your team edits without a developer
  • Schema, sitemap and every old URL mapped

Migration or phased rebuild

A large library, a live site, or a launch in stages.

Quoted per project

  • A page-by-page migration rather than an importer
  • Section by section launch, so nothing goes dark
  • The redirect map handed over as a document

The full build has a published floor and the larger job is quoted per project, because a five page brochure and a nine hundred page migration are not the same work. Either way the exact number is fixed in writing before we start, and it is priced in the currency you pay in.

  • 50% to start, 50% at launch
  • No hourly meter, no change-request invoices
  • If the budget does not fit, we say so on the call
The awkward ones

WHAT A COMMITTEE ASKS BEFORE IT SIGNS.

Here it means the shape of the job rather than the size of the company: several offers that each need their own page, more than one person who has to approve the result, and an existing site with traffic and links worth protecting. That job is harder than a bigger company's brochure site. If what you have is a global multi-region rollout with a procurement process, say so on the call and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right size for it.

The scope is fixed in writing before any code, which turns most of the argument into a decision made once rather than a debate repeated per page. From day three there is a working site on a private URL, so feedback is somebody pointing at a real page instead of describing a feeling about a mockup. One person on your side owns the final call, and we ask who that is before we start.

Yes, and it is usually the fastest version of the job. If you have a brand system we build to it rather than around it. If your team writes, they write and we structure. What we need is one named person to answer questions and one place the assets live, because the pace of a build is set almost entirely by how fast the answers come back.

Yes, and we take it page by page rather than trusting an importer, because an importer is how a thousand posts arrive with broken images and no formatting. Content, images, metadata and the URL structure all come across. For a genuinely large library we do a sample of a few dozen first, you check it, and then the rest runs against a mapping you have already approved.

For the parts a website owns, yes: forms deliver into your CRM or inbox, analytics and tag management go in properly, and a booking or payment tool is embedded where it belongs. What we do not sell is a workflow or automation programme behind it. That used to be an offer here and it is not any more, so if the real project is systems integration you want somebody whose main job that is.

Yes, and for a large site it is often the safer call. A section moves, the redirects for it go live, it is watched for a fortnight, then the next one follows. It costs more in total than one launch because the two sites have to coexist and stay consistent, and it is worth it when a bad week of traffic costs more than the difference.

Then they can, and nothing has to be renegotiated. The code, the design, the content structure and the configuration are assigned to you on final payment, it runs on your hosting under your accounts, and it is built on a mainstream stack rather than anything proprietary to us. There is no licence you keep paying for and nothing held back as leverage.

Yes, before anything confidential is shared, and we will sign yours rather than insisting on ours. Read the agreement either way: it is written per client, and the schedule, the scope and the payment terms all live in that document rather than in anything published on this site.

The build follows the practical parts as a matter of course: semantic markup, real headings, keyboard navigation, contrast that passes, alt text and labelled forms. What we do not do is certify you, and nobody honest will promise a legal compliance outcome from a build alone. If you need a formal WCAG audit, that is a specialist doing it independently after launch, which is the right way round.

No, and you should be suspicious of a web studio that says yes. We build on a stack with a small attack surface, keep dependencies current, and hand over the configuration, but a penetration test is a separate discipline and it belongs with a firm that only does that. If your policy requires one we will work to its findings.

Send us the site and the list of what it has to stop doing.

We will tell you straight whether a rebuild is the right spend, what it would take, and where the risk in it actually is.
