## Overview

Websites built by hand and looked after once they are live.

## Page text

Websites covers new sites, repairs to existing ones, search visibility and care after launch. Who you work with depends on who you are: government and contractor websites are handled here, and small business websites are built by our brand That Stupid Computer.

Scope, exclusions and evidence for a specific engagement are written into the proposal for that engagement; this page describes the capability, not a contract.

## Page sections

- [A new website](https://thatdeveloperguy.com/capabilities/websites#new-website): Designed and built for your organization, not poured into a template. The content is in the page itself, so it reads well on any device and does not wait on scripts to appear.
- [Website rescue](https://thatdeveloperguy.com/capabilities/websites#rescue): Fixing a site that is slow, broken or hard to update, starting with a written list of what is wrong and what it would take to put right.
- [Search visibility](https://thatdeveloperguy.com/capabilities/websites#search): Helping the people already looking for you find the right page. No rankings are promised. The work is making each page clear about what it offers and to whom.
- [Ongoing care](https://thatdeveloperguy.com/capabilities/websites#care): Updates, backups and someone to call after launch, on an agreed schedule.
- [Government and contractor websites](https://thatdeveloperguy.com/capabilities/websites#government): Public sector and prime contractor websites are scoped and delivered by ThatDeveloperGuy directly. Start with a briefing. The Government Solutions page explains how that work is scoped.
- [Small business websites](https://thatdeveloperguy.com/capabilities/websites#small-business): New websites, repairs, search visibility and ongoing care for small and local businesses come from That Stupid Computer, our website workshop for Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas.
- [How a website project runs](https://thatdeveloperguy.com/capabilities/websites#process): A conversation first, then a written plan, then a working preview you can click through before anything goes live.

## Service scope

- Problem addressed: A website has one job: let the right people find out what an organization does and how to reach it. Many sites fail at that quietly. They load slowly, hide the answer behind menus, break on a phone, or nobody remembers how to update them.
- Included: Design and build of a new website
- Included: Repair of an existing website, from a written list of what is wrong
- Included: Search visibility work on the pages you already have
- Included: Ongoing care: updates, backups and a named person to call
- Deliverable: A written plan: the pages, what each one is for, and how it will be checked
- Deliverable: A working preview before launch
- Deliverable: The finished site, with full rights to export your code and content
- Deliverable: A release record: what changed, how it was checked, how to roll back
