Website Design & Rebuilds

Modern Websites Built for the Way Businesses Work Today

Your website should do more than look current. It should be fast, easy to navigate, mobile-friendly, simple to maintain, and built on technology that makes sense for your business.

AmeriHost designs new business websites and rebuilds existing sites that have become outdated, difficult to manage, or dependent on aging technology.

Whether you need a completely new website or want to modernize an existing one, we can help with the entire process—from planning and content organization through development, hosting, deployment, DNS, and ongoing support.

New Websites and Website Rebuilds

Every project is different.

Some businesses need a new website from the ground up. Others already have years of valuable content but are working with an older site that has become difficult to maintain.

AmeriHost can help with both.

New Business Websites

We create professional websites designed around your business, your customers, and the information they need to find.

A new website can include:

  • Responsive layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile
  • Clear navigation and content organization
  • Service and product pages
  • Contact and information-request forms
  • Photo galleries and other visual content
  • Search-engine-friendly page structure
  • Secure HTTPS delivery
  • Analytics integration
  • Content management when appropriate
  • Hosting and domain integration

The objective is a website that is straightforward for visitors to use and practical for your business to maintain.

Website Redesign and Modernization

An older website does not always need to be discarded.

We can review your existing site, identify the material that is still useful, remove obsolete or duplicated content, reorganize the information, and rebuild the site using a modern design and technical foundation.

This approach allows established businesses to preserve valuable content while eliminating many of the limitations that accumulate as a website ages.

Modernizing WordPress Websites

WordPress-to-Static Rebuilds

WordPress remains appropriate for some websites, but many business sites use only a fraction of what WordPress provides while still requiring continual maintenance of WordPress itself, themes, plugins, PHP, and a database.

For websites that no longer need those components, AmeriHost can rebuild an existing WordPress site as a modern static website.

A static website delivers completed web pages directly to the visitor instead of assembling each page from a database every time it is requested.

For an appropriate website, this can provide:

  • A simpler hosting environment
  • Fewer software components to maintain
  • Less dependence on themes and plugins
  • A reduced attack surface compared with a traditional WordPress installation
  • Straightforward source-code backup and version history
  • Efficient delivery through modern content-delivery networks
  • Greater portability between compatible hosting platforms

We review each site individually before recommending this approach. Websites requiring extensive dynamic functionality, complex membership systems, or other database-driven features may be better served by a different architecture.

Preserve the Content That Matters

Rebuilding a website should not mean blindly copying everything from the old one.

Over time, websites often accumulate outdated pages, duplicate information, unused images, obsolete links, abandoned features, and content that no longer represents the business.

As part of a rebuild, AmeriHost can help evaluate existing website material and determine what should be:

  • Retained
  • Updated
  • Reorganized
  • Consolidated
  • Redirected
  • Removed

Existing URLs can also be evaluated so appropriate redirects can be established when the new site launches. This helps visitors and search engines reach the correct new pages instead of encountering unnecessary broken links.

Modern Hosting and Deployment

Website design and hosting do not have to be separate projects.

AmeriHost can build the website and manage the infrastructure used to deliver it.

Using source control also provides a documented history of website changes and an independent copy of the website source outside the production hosting environment.

Depending on the requirements of the project, this can include:

  • Static website hosting
  • Cloudflare-based website delivery
  • SSL/TLS configuration
  • DNS configuration and management
  • Domain integration
  • Git-based source control
  • Development and client-review environments
  • Production deployment
  • Redirect configuration
  • Ongoing website updates

Forms Without a Traditional Web Server

A static website can still provide interactive features.

Contact forms, quote requests, reservation requests, and similar functions can be connected to modern cloud services without requiring the entire website to operate on a traditional application server.

Where appropriate, AmeriHost can provide forms using cloud-based processing, spam and bot protection, and transactional email delivery.

This allows the main website to remain simple while adding server-side functionality only where it is actually required.

Content Management When You Need It

A static website does not mean every content change has to be made by a developer.

For websites that require regular client updates, AmeriHost can incorporate a content-management system that allows authorized users to edit appropriate website content through a browser-based administrative interface.

The content-management features can be tailored to the website rather than exposing every part of the site to unnecessary editing.

Depending on the project, editable content can include:

  • Standard pages
  • Services
  • News or blog articles
  • Staff profiles
  • Testimonials
  • FAQs
  • Galleries
  • Events
  • Locations
  • Downloads and resources
  • Navigation and selected site settings

For sites that change infrequently, we can also keep the architecture simpler and handle updates for you.

A Complete Website Process

  1. 1.

    Review

    We start by understanding the existing website, your business, and what the new site needs to accomplish.

  2. 2.

    Organize

    We establish the page structure, navigation, content requirements, and technical approach before the full site is built.

  3. 3.

    Build

    The website is developed using the approved design, content, and functionality.

  4. 4.

    Review

    A temporary development address can be provided so the website can be reviewed and corrected before it replaces the existing site.

  5. 5.

    Launch

    After approval, AmeriHost can coordinate the production deployment, domain configuration, DNS changes, redirects, SSL, and related launch requirements.

  6. 6.

    Maintain

    After launch, we can continue to assist with website changes, hosting, DNS, security, and other ongoing needs.

One Company for the Website and the Technology Behind It

A website depends on more than its design.

Domains, DNS, hosting, SSL, email, security, forms, backups, and ongoing maintenance can all affect how reliably your online presence operates.

AmeriHost can bring those pieces together so your business does not have to coordinate multiple providers every time something changes.
