Corporate Website Development

A website that explains who you are — to people, search engines and AI assistants alike.

01Overview

A corporate website is where customers, partners, candidates and journalists go first. Brand sites tell a story, group sites have to untangle business units and subsidiaries, and product sites need specs, use cases and selection guidance. The usual problem is not the visuals but the structure: image-heavy pages, muddled navigation and every update routed through an agency.

We start with information architecture — sections, page templates and content models — so each type of content has a defined shape and an editing screen your own team can use.

AI assistants increasingly read and cite company websites. We build with server-side rendering, schema.org structured data, a clean heading hierarchy and llms.txt by default, and handle ICP filing display as part of launch.

02Who it is for

Companies with an outdated site

Built on an aging CMS, broken on mobile, hard to edit and no longer reflecting the actual business.

Multi-division groups

Need one site that clearly maps the group, subsidiaries, brands and business units, with per-unit editing rights.

Product-heavy manufacturers and tech firms

Many models and specs; need a filterable product catalog, comparisons and downloadable documents.

Brands that care about AI visibility

Want their content to be correctly understood and cited when people ask AI assistants about their category.

03Core modules

01

Information architecture

Map sections and page relationships around your business and audiences, and define templates and fields for each page type.

02

Responsive design

Layouts for desktop, tablet and phone, with particular care for navigation, tables and long-form content on small screens.

03

Product catalog and downloads

Categories, faceted filtering, spec comparison and datasheet downloads, optionally gated behind a lead form.

04

News, projects and careers

Separately modeled content types with pinning, tags and scheduled publishing that non-technical staff can manage.

05

SEO and structured data

Per-page titles and descriptions, sitemaps, canonical URLs and schema.org markup such as Organization, Product and FAQ.

06

AI readability (GEO-ready)

Server-rendered HTML, llms.txt and a robots policy that admits major AI crawlers, so assistants can read your pages.

07

Multilingual versions

Separate URL structures per language with independent content and SEO fields, plus correct hreflang tags.

08

Editor-friendly CMS

A headless CMS with roles, review workflow and version history, so each department manages its own sections.

07What drives the quote

Every scope differs; we quote once we understand the requirements.

Number of templates

Each uniquely designed template adds design and build effort; reused templates cost less.

Content and migration

Copywriting, translation or migrating large volumes of legacy content all add scope.

Languages

Each extra language adds layout adaptation, content structure and SEO configuration.

Features and integrations

Product filters, gated downloads, CRM-connected forms or multi-site permissions expand the build.

08FAQ

How long does a corporate website take?

Typically 6–12 weeks, depending on the number of templates, how quickly content is ready and your approval cycle.

Can we edit the site ourselves after launch?

Yes. News, products, projects, careers, copy and images are all managed in the CMS. New page types or layout changes need a developer.

Who owns the source code?

Once the project is accepted and paid, the full source code and design files are handed over to you. Open-source components remain under their own licenses.

How is this different from a template builder?

Templates suit simple sites on tight budgets. A custom build follows your content model, gives you control of the code and allows deeper SEO, performance and AI-readability work.
