What A New Business Website Actually Needs — And What Wastes Your Time

Your site goes live, and within seconds Google's crawler fires its first request. That moment determines whether your business gets indexed in days or ignored for months. Most new business websites ship broken: no schema markup, no sitemap, metadata written by someone who's never ranked a page. Your competitors aren't smarter—they just launched with technical SEO baked in. We build Next.js or Astro sites that hit Lighthouse 90+ on day one, with proper Open Graph tags, LocalBusiness schema, and Core Web Vitals tuned for mobile-first indexing. You get 5–15 pages, headless CMS access, Google Search Console configured, and a site that doesn't need a rebuild six months later when you realize templates don't rank.

Onde os projetos falham

You registered the business, ordered the business cards, maybe even got the logo done -- but there's no website And right now, prospects are Googling you, finding nothing, and moving on to whoever shows up first. That's not a hypothetical. It happens dozens of times a day to businesses exactly like yours. Every day you're invisible online is a day you're handing customers to competitors who bothered to show up. It's not about vanity. It's about whether people can find you, trust you, and actually get in touch. No website means no credibility, full stop.
Here's the thing about Wix and Squarespace -- they're fine for a hobby blog, but they're not fine for a business trying to look serious Every template-built site has that same generic feel. Prospects notice. And honestly, when your site looks identical to the florist down the street and the plumber across town, you're not standing out -- you're blending in. That's the last thing you want when someone's deciding who to call.
You want to show up on Google from day one, but SEO feels like a black box Where do you even start -- keywords, backlinks, technical stuff you've never heard of? Most developers build the site first and bolt SEO on later, which is completely backwards. The real kicker is that poor technical foundations at launch can take months to recover from in the rankings.
Shopify sounds simple until you actually price it out You need a proper checkout? That's a plugin. Reviews? Another plugin. Subscriptions, bundles, custom shipping rules -- it adds up fast, and Shopify's taking a cut of every transaction on top of it. For a growing e-commerce business, those fees compound in a pretty painful way.
Look, your competitor has a polished website and you don't -- and that gap is actively costing you deals Buyers do their research. They'll visit three or four sites before making a call, and if yours doesn't instil confidence, they're going with whoever does. It's not always about price or quality. Sometimes it's just about who looked more legitimate online.

Perguntas frequentes

Quanto custa um novo site para negócios?

Um site de marketing -- tipicamente 5 a 10 páginas -- começa entre £5.000 e £12.000. Construções de e-commerce com catálogos de produtos e fluxo de checkout custam £12.000 a £25.000. Aplicações web personalizadas com contas de usuário e lógica complexa começam em £25.000 e aumentam conforme o escopo. Todo engajamento inclui configuração de SEO, marcação de schema JSON-LD e envio do Google Search Console desde o primeiro dia -- não como um acréscimo posterior.

Quanto tempo leva para construir um novo site para negócios?

Um site de marketing padrão leva 3 a 4 semanas. Projetos de e-commerce duram 4 a 6 semanas. Aplicações complexas normalmente precisam de 6 a 12 semanas. Definimos um cronograma fixo no início -- datas reais, não estimativas vagas -- e cumprimos. Sem aumento de escopo, sem "apenas mais alguns dias" se estendendo por um mês.

Vocês construem em WordPress?

Não. Construímos em Next.js e Astro, que atingem pontuações do Lighthouse de 90+ praticamente do zero. Sites WordPress -- em nossa experiência -- tendem a ficar entre 45 e 65 e precisam de gerenciamento constante de plugins apenas para permanecer funcionais. Tempos de carregamento mais rápidos, segurança melhor e rankings mais fortes. Não é nem comparável.

E quanto a SEO para meu novo site?

SEO não é algo que adicionamos no final -- está integrado em como construímos. Cada página é lançada com metadados apropriados, marcação de schema JSON-LD, sitemap, URLs canônicas e otimização de Core Web Vitals já resolvidas. O Google Search Console é configurado antes do lançamento, não depois. E além do lado técnico, forneceremos uma estratégia de palavras-chave e calendário de conteúdo para que você realmente tenha um plano para crescer o tráfego orgânico assim que o site estiver ativo.

Vocês podem ajudar com branding também?

Sim. Se você está começando do zero, temos pacotes completos de lançamento de marca que cobrem nomeação, registro de marca registrada, design de logotipo, identidade visual e o próprio site. Já tem branding definido? Então focamos puramente no site e SEO. De qualquer forma, há um ponto de partida claro -- e se você precisar do pacote completo, consulte nosso serviço de lançamento de marca para detalhes.
