Astro, Shopify, or stay on WordPress?+
Shopify if you sell online, because checkout, payments, and inventory are solved there. Astro for everything else: it is fast, has nothing to update, and can be hosted anywhere. Staying on WordPress makes sense when a large site is already working; then the job is fixing it.
How long does it take?+
Two to four weeks for a complete site built end to end, from brief to launch. Updating a site that already exists is quicker. Larger sites with many pages or a portal take longer, and the brief says so before work starts.
What happens to my old URLs?+
Every old URL redirects to its replacement, mapped before launch. Rankings and links carry over. I check Search Console after launch to confirm nothing dropped.
What happens after launch?+
A post-launch check at two weeks: speed, indexing, forms, tracking. After that the site is yours to edit. Ongoing work is a separate plan, and nothing is required.
Is this the same build as the free rebuild on the Growth and Superior plans?+
Yes, the same build. On those plans it is included and built first, as the foundation, with the search work continuing around it. Those plans run three months minimum.
