Care plan and hosting
Updates, backups, uptime monitoring and a set number of change hours each month.
How we build
Documented, tested and handed over properly
Ironwood grew out of a two person shop in Lawrenceville and never adopted the practice of holding clients captive. Every project ends with documentation, a recorded training session and repository access in your name. A good number of our clients maintain their own sites for years and come back only for the next big build.
•Code in your GitHub organization from the first commit
•Accessibility tested with real assistive technology, not just a scanner
•Two week post launch support window included
Reviews
What clients report
“Our old site took eleven seconds to load on a phone. The new one is under two and our form fills nearly doubled.”
Sandra P., Manufacturing marketing lead
“The training video they made for our content team is still what we onboard new hires with three years later.”

FAQ
Project questions
How long does a website build take?
A marketing site is typically 10 to 16 weeks from kickoff to launch. Ecommerce and replatform projects run 16 to 26 weeks. The largest variable is how quickly content and approvals come back from your side.
What CMS do you use?
Most often a headless CMS paired with a modern framework, or WordPress when the client's team already knows it. We pick based on who will maintain the site, not on what is fashionable.
Will our search rankings drop when we relaunch?
There is usually a short dip during recrawl. We prevent lasting loss with a full redirect map from the old URLs, preserved page titles and structure for ranking pages, and a crawl comparison before and after launch.
Do we have to keep paying you after launch?
No. The care plan is optional. You own the code, the hosting account and the CMS, and we hand over documentation and training so your team can operate without us.
