Website development services

Whether you need a new corporate website, a redesign of an existing one, or ongoing improvements and support, we build sites optimized for performance, conversions, and search from the start.

Shape, Build, Care connects three ways to work with us: Co-Dev is the optional way to shape a working prototype for unusually complex sites, a Fixed Price Project builds the production website, and Continuous Monthly Development supports and improves it. You can start wherever your project fits.

The right platform depends on your team, your content needs, and your technical requirements. We work with CMS platforms and modern frameworks, and recommend based on your actual needs, not what we prefer to build.

WordPress

The most popular CMS. Good for content sites, blogs, and ecommerce via WooCommerce. Large plugin ecosystem, easy for non-technical users to manage.

Umbraco

An ASP.NET-based CMS. A good fit for businesses already running .NET infrastructure. Flexible and developer-friendly.

Custom-built websites

Custom website development requires more development time but provides greater flexibility for unique requirements, useful when a standard CMS can't deliver what your site needs to do.

For complex custom websites that benefit from hands-on prototyping, Co-Dev lets you shape a working prototype with us before the production build is scoped.

Headless is an optional way to build a website. It separates the visitor-facing frontend from the content management system, so we can create the frontend from scratch using agentic development while keeping WordPress or Umbraco as the content backend. A fully custom setup is also possible when the requirements justify it.

This approach takes more development work than a standard CMS build, but it removes much of the CMS overhead from the pages visitors load. That can provide a significant speed advantage and greater frontend flexibility. When those benefits don't justify the extra work, a conventional WordPress or Umbraco build is often the simpler choice.

If you're not sure which platform is right for you, tell us what the site needs to do and we'll recommend honestly.

Corporate and business websites

Corporate website development built to represent your brand, explain what you do, and generate leads.

Landing pages and campaign sites

Focused pages built for a specific offer, product launch, or marketing campaign.

Content-driven websites

Sites built around articles, resources, or documentation, with content management that's easy for your team to use.

Website redesigns

Modernizing an existing site's design, performance, and technical foundation without necessarily starting from scratch.

Send tasks whenever they arise. With Care, everything runs in writing at one fixed monthly price: no estimates to approve, no cost overruns.

Care Plus gives you everything in Care at its own fixed monthly price, plus up to two hours of meetings per month with a Project Manager or any 1902 Software expert (for planning, advice, and technical discussion), up to two ongoing tasks at a time, and up to two developers working on your tasks at the same time.

Care Ultimate is for ongoing engagements, often across multiple systems, that need close collaboration: a fixed price for every task or group of tasks, approved by you before work begins, people with the right expertise added to your project as your needs grow, and meetings with any 1902 Software expert whenever you need them (billed at $80 per hour for the actual time spent).

Typical work includes:

• Bug fixes
• New pages and functionality
• Design updates
• Performance optimization
• Technical SEO improvements
• Security updates
• Integrations
• AI implementation
• General website support

For a single, well-defined website project (a new build, a major upgrade) you get one agreed price for the whole thing, fixed before work begins.

Typical projects include:

• New corporate websites
• Website redesigns
• Platform migrations
• Custom web development
• Large integrations

Large projects typically start with a Project Scoping phase at an agreed, prepaid fixed price. The purpose is to precisely define what will be built and to establish the final price. This ensures full clarity for both you and us before development begins.

Co-Dev is an optional, hands-on way to clarify a complex custom website or feature before committing to the production build. You can shape a new working prototype with us, prototype a feature for an existing system, or bring a vibe-coded proof of concept that needs to be made production-ready.

After the project intake, we quote a fixed price for the prototype which includes a two-session workshop. Once the workshop is finished, you continue shaping the prototype with our help. We set up and manage the development environment on your computer, and you use your own AI key, typically with Codex.

Meetings, questions about agentic development, and our own prototype changes are billed at $80 an hour.

The prototype is not the finished product; it is where we collaborate and understand exactly what to build. 1902 Software remains responsible for engineering, testing, deployment, and the production-ready result.

Many of our clients originally worked with another software development company.

We regularly take over existing websites, review the existing implementation and continue development with minimal disruption to your business.

Every website we build is optimized for performance, conversions, and SEO from the start, not added as an afterthought.

Performance-first

Clean code, proper caching, optimized images, and efficient loading, so pages are fast on both desktop and mobile.

Technical SEO built in

Proper structure, schema markup, and fast Core Web Vitals, so your site is set up to be found, by search engines and by the AI systems people increasingly search with.

Conversion-focused design

Clear calls to action, streamlined navigation, and layouts built around what you want visitors to do.

Our team uses modern AI-assisted tools for planning, design, development, and testing. Agentic development speeds up research, implementation, checking, and documentation. Every solution is still thoroughly reviewed, tested, and verified by experienced software developers and testers before delivery.

We work with the AI tools you're already comfortable using. We support Claude, Codex, Manus, Grok Bot, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Windsurf, and we also bring our own models, skills, and agentic development workflows to the project.

After launch, ongoing support runs through Continuous Monthly Development. The team that built your site continues to support it, and every task is handled by the best person for it: a developer, designer, tester, AI expert, software architect, or online marketing expert.
