Web Development FAQ
Common questions about our web development services.
The ideal framework depends on your project requirements including interactivity level, SEO needs, content volume, and team expertise. Devstead most frequently recommends Next.js for complex applications that need both server-side rendering and dynamic interactivity, Astro for content-heavy marketing sites where performance is paramount, and SvelteKit for projects that benefit from minimal bundle sizes. We evaluate your specific needs and recommend the best fit.
Performance and SEO are built into our development process from the start, not added as an afterthought. Devstead implements server-side rendering, static generation, image optimization, code splitting, and edge caching as standard practices. We target 90+ Lighthouse scores across all metrics and implement comprehensive technical SEO including structured data, semantic HTML, meta tags, XML sitemaps, and Core Web Vitals optimization.
Yes, we specialize in migrating legacy websites to modern stacks while preserving SEO equity, content, and functionality. Devstead creates comprehensive redirect maps, migrates content to headless CMS platforms, and implements the new frontend incrementally to minimize risk. We carefully monitor search rankings and traffic throughout the migration to ensure no loss of organic visibility.
While we offer WordPress development for projects where it is the best fit, Devstead typically recommends modern headless CMS solutions like Sanity or Contentful paired with React-based frontends for superior performance, security, and developer experience. If WordPress is required for your team or ecosystem, we build custom themes and plugins using modern PHP practices with proper security hardening.
Devstead offers managed hosting and maintenance packages that include uptime monitoring, security updates, performance optimization, content updates, and technical support. We host most projects on platforms like Vercel or Cloudflare that provide global edge delivery, automatic scaling, and built-in CI/CD. Our maintenance plans ensure your website stays fast, secure, and up-to-date as browsers and web standards evolve.
Web development projects at Devstead typically range from $15,000 for focused marketing websites to $150,000 or more for complex web applications with custom backends and integrations. The final cost depends on the number of pages, custom functionality, third-party integrations, and content management requirements. We provide detailed proposals with transparent pricing after our initial discovery and scoping sessions.
