Build: Website development
Websites that load fast and stay easy to change
In short
Kafka.id builds new websites, rebuilds old ones and refactors code that has become hard to change. We start by talking with the people who will use and run the site. Then we build it to load fast, rank well on Google and stay safe to run for years.
Last updated
Who it is for
- A business with a site that is slow, hard to edit or no longer getting security updates.
- A team that needs a new site and wants it done properly the first time.
- A company whose codebase breaks somewhere new with every change.
What we do
- 1
Talk to your people
We meet the owners, the staff who will edit the site and, where we can, a few customers. You get a short written summary of what we heard and what the site has to do.
- 2
Review what exists
For a rebuild or a refactor we read the code, check the hosting and measure speed and search visibility. Then we know what to keep and what to replace.
- 3
Build in small steps
We work in short rounds you can click through on a preview link. Nothing goes live until you have seen it.
- 4
Launch without losing rankings
Old addresses redirect to the new ones, the sitemap goes to Google, and we watch the search reports in the weeks after launch.
What you get
- Pages that pass Google's Core Web Vitals on mobile
- Clean URLs, titles, descriptions and structured data on every page
- A way for your team to edit pages that matches how often you publish
- HTTPS, security headers and backups from the first day
- Written documentation, and a handover or ongoing care from us
Questions
Should we rebuild our website or refactor it?
If the design and content still work and the problems are speed or bugs, a refactor usually costs less. If the site is hard to edit, runs on software that no longer gets security updates, or needs a new structure, a rebuild is cheaper over time. We read the code before we recommend either.
Will we lose our Google rankings when the site changes?
Not if the move is planned. We map every old address to its new one with a permanent redirect, keep the content that ranks and submit the new sitemap. Rankings can wobble for a few weeks after any big change, so we watch Search Console closely after launch.
How long does a website take?
It depends mostly on how many pages and integrations the site has, and on how quickly decisions get made. You get a timeline in writing before we start, and we update it if the scope changes.
Can our team edit the site after launch?
Yes. We set up editing that fits how often you publish, show your team how to use it, and write down how the site is built so another developer could pick it up.
