Web design Antioch businesses can manage

WordPress suits a team that publishes often and wants to edit most of the site itself. Its choice of plugins gives you ways to add features, but someone also needs to keep WordPress and its plugins updated for security. Before choosing it, decide who will own that ongoing task and which parts of the site they need to change.

A custom-coded site using Next.js suits a business that wants fast pages, tight security and a design without template limits. It is a good fit when you are happy for a developer to handle structural changes. That distinction is worth discussing early: changing the structure of a site is a different job from updating the words on a page.

We recommend an option after learning how your team works. Bring the people who will use the site into that conversation: how often they publish, what they need to edit and who will look after updates all help shape the choice.

For a business open to the public, web accessibility needs a place in the brief. US guidance says the ADA covers goods and services offered on the web and identifies WCAG as helpful guidance. We agree an accessibility target with you, and set up page titles and a clear heading structure as part of the build.

State and local government websites have a specified WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirement. For that kind of project, we use the requirement to shape the brief and set up desktop and mobile page designs against the agreed target.
