Web development for a new site or a real rebuild.
A new website is an operating system for the business, not a stack of pretty pages. The structure has to work for customers and search engines. It also has to make sense to the person who owns it after launch.
No account manager stands between the build and the person writing it. I scope the work myself from Olive Hill as a Web Developer & Technical SEO Consultant. I write the code too. The handoff is part of the scope, not an afterthought at launch.
Build when the structure needs to change.
A rebuild makes sense when the current platform, templates, navigation, or page system keeps blocking the business. A slow page or one indexing error does not automatically justify replacing the whole site.
Define the job.
Pages, users, forms, integrations, ownership, and launch requirements go into the scope.
Choose the system.
The CMS and stack should match who will maintain the site and what the site must do.
Build the machine.
Templates, components, navigation, metadata, schema, forms, performance, and accessibility are handled as one system.
Launch and hand off.
You receive the working site, a walkthrough, and documentation for the decisions that matter after launch.
Technical SEO is build quality.
This page does not sell a second SEO package beside the website. A build should already have crawlable pages, coherent headings, useful metadata, internal links, a sitemap, appropriate structured data, and an analytics handoff.
That foundation does not guarantee rankings. It prevents the build itself from creating avoidable search problems.
Structure before styling
Page types, navigation, URLs, and reusable components are decided before the visual layer hides a weak plan.
A CMS that fits
WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, Wix, Shopify, Astro, Drupal, and static HTML are all options. The right one depends on the project and handoff.
Search-ready foundations
Indexing controls, metadata, sitemap, internal links, and appropriate schema belong in the build.
Accessible patterns
Semantic markup, keyboard use, labels, contrast, and responsive behavior are considered during development. A formal compliance claim requires its own testing scope.
Base scope and pricing.
That range applies when the project fits the defined base scope. You receive the actual quote before work starts. Larger sites, custom functionality, migrations, unusual integrations, and heavier content needs are scoped separately.
Base scope can include
- Up to 10 pagesBuilt as purposeful pages inside one coherent structure.
- CMS setupConfigured for the people who will own the site.
- Reusable templates or componentsSo the site can grow without rebuilding every page.
- Forms and core interactionsBuilt, labeled, and tested.
- Technical SEO foundationsMetadata, sitemap, internal links, and appropriate schema.
- Accessibility-minded markupA build baseline, with formal audits scoped separately.
- Launch and handoffWalkthrough and documentation for the finished system.

- Large content migrationsInventories, redirects, cleanup, and QA based on volume.
- Branding, photography, and legal copySupplied by you or handled by the appropriate specialist.
- Premium licensesApproved before purchase and owned by the client where possible.
- Hosting and domainsSet up in the client's name and billed directly to the client.
- Continuing maintenanceA new agreed scope after handoff, not a hidden condition of the build.

Frequently asked questions.
What kind of projects does this page cover?
New websites and substantive rebuilds. If the existing site only needs technical repair, the SEO Health Check or Site Rescue is usually the better starting point.
What is included in a base build?
The defined base scope can include up to 10 pages, CMS setup, reusable templates or components, forms, metadata, appropriate schema, a sitemap, internal linking, accessibility-minded markup, launch, and handoff.
How much does a website cost?
Base builds currently fall in the $3,800 to $5,500 range when the scope fits. Custom functionality, unusual integrations, and larger content needs are quoted before work starts.
Can you use the CMS I already have?
Yes, when it fits the build. Bree works with WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, Wix, Shopify, Astro, Drupal, and static HTML, and recommends the option that matches the project and handoff needs.
What happens after launch?
You receive a walkthrough and handoff for the system that was built. Any continuing maintenance, new pages, or added functionality gets its own agreed scope.
What if I only need SEO or a speed fix?
Use the Kentucky SEO services page for defined repair scopes, or start with the $500 SEO Health Check if the problem is not clear yet.
Two sites you can inspect.
The site you are reading runs on Astro and Cloudflare Pages. The public case studies show other documented work without asking you to trust a directory badge.
manywordsonevoice.com is another — a WordPress publication in a YMYL niche, the category Google holds to its strictest quality standards. It runs a full custom schema infrastructure, E-E-A-T architecture, and was migrated across hosts and DNS without losing a single ranking. The logo, the branding, the copy, the code — all Bree.
The site already exists?
Use Kentucky SEO services for defined repair scopes. Use the SEO Health Check when the problem is still unclear.
Scope the build before you buy it.
Send the current URL, the pages or functions the new site needs, and who will maintain it after launch.
Bree Sharp is a Web Developer & Technical SEO Consultant based in Olive Hill, Kentucky. You work directly with the person building the site.
Tell me what the new site has to do.
A useful first message includes the current URL, required pages, forms or integrations, preferred launch window, and the person who will own the site afterward.
