Fast on a real phone, clear to a visitor, readable by search and AI.
Engineered as software, measured before launch, and yours at handover.
One request
It arrives from a mid-range phone.
Performance budget
The page has to render inside a budget measured before launch.
HTML from the server
The page is rendered first and then sent.
Content paints early
The visitor reaches one obvious next step.
Structured data
Google and the AI answers read it without guessing.
Content model
Your team edits the words with no developer needed.
- Fixed price per phase
- You own the code
- 2–4 week average launch
What changes
What changes after launch.
Four of these come up in almost every site audit we run.
- The site takes seconds on a phone.
- It paints inside a budget we measure.
- Visitors land, read, and leave.
- One next step is obvious on every page.
- Search engines guess what a page is.
- The page states it, in structured data.
- Every wording change waits on a developer.
- Your team edits the content itself.
What we build here
Five things live under digital presence.
They share one engineering standard and differ only in what the visitor came to do.
Website development
The page is rendered on the server inside a performance budget, measured on a mid-range Android before it goes live.
Rebuild the site as software →E-commerce
An order moves from the cart through tax and shipping rules to whoever fulfils it, on Shopify or a headless build on Stripe.
Scope a storefront →UI and UX design
Each flow starts from the job the visitor came to do, and its empty, loading and error states are drawn before anyone polishes the happy path.
Design the flow first →Web design
A type scale, colour tokens and a spacing rhythm are set once in code, so your next page looks right without pulling a designer back in.
Set the system once →Website maintenance
Dependencies and security patches land monthly, uptime and Core Web Vitals stay monitored, and a fixed block of hours covers the improvements you ask for.
Keep it patched and watched →
After launch
The part your own team runs.
One content model feeds the page a person reads and the data a machine reads, so the two cannot drift apart.
Page content
Products
Questions and answers
One model
The three are edited as fields in one place.
The page a person reads
Rendered from those same fields.
The data a machine reads
The schema comes from the same fields, so the two can never drift apart.
How a build runs
Four phases, each priced before it starts.
Audit and scope
What the current surface costs you in speed, structure, and conversion, and what the new one has to do.
Design and content model
The IA, the page system, and the content model your team will live with for years.
Build
Production code, performance budget met on real devices, structured data and AI discoverability engineered in.
Launch and handover
Migration, redirects, measurement, and the keys handed over. You own and operate what we built.
Proof
What we have already shipped.
Common questions
Price, timeline, ownership: answered.
- Do you use a page builder or a CMS?
- Stallwart builds the site as a production application, usually Next.js, with a headless CMS such as Sanity or Payload for the content your team edits. No page builder and no plugin stack. The result loads faster, survives dependency updates, and lets a developer extend it without fighting a visual editor.
- How long does a website rebuild take?
- Most rebuilds run six to twelve weeks from kickoff to launch, split into scoped phases. A brochure site of eight pages sits at the short end; a storefront with migration and redirects sits at the long end. Stallwart writes the phase dates into the proposal after the 30-minute scoping call.
- Can you also run the site after launch?
- Yes. A monthly retainer covers dependency patching, uptime and Core Web Vitals monitoring, broken-link checks, and a fixed block of improvement hours. The retainer is optional, because the code and the hosting account are already yours. Several clients hand maintenance to their own developer instead.
- What does a website cost?
- Website pricing is fixed per phase and quoted after a 30-minute scoping call. Page count, how many templates the design needs, CMS modelling, and the size of the migration move the number. Third-party costs stay with you: hosting, the CMS plan, font licences, and any commerce platform fees.
- Who owns the website after launch?
- You own the code, the design files, the content model, and the hosting account. Stallwart commits into your repository and deploys from your own Vercel or Cloudflare account. Nothing is licensed back to you, and no subscription to Stallwart keeps the site online. Domain and DNS stay in your name.
- Will a rebuild cost us our search rankings?
- Rankings are the real risk in any rebuild. Stallwart crawls the existing site first, maps every indexed URL to its new path, and ships 301 redirects with the launch. Titles, headings, and structured data move across deliberately. Search Console is watched afterwards, though no agency can guarantee rankings.
- Can you work with our existing WordPress or Shopify site?
- Stallwart migrates from WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, and Shopify regularly, and will stay on Shopify or WordPress where that is genuinely the cheaper call. Content is exported into the new model, media is re-hosted, old URLs are redirected. The scoping call decides between a rebuild and a rescue.
