The short answer
Choosing a website development company comes down to what happens after the site launches. Ask who owns the domain, design, content and code once you've paid, who updates the site and how, how old pages will be redirected, and what you get if you leave. The quality of the design matters, but those answers decide what it costs you later.
When Lehvel builds a site, the customer owns the content, design and code once the build fee is paid, and gets the files and a reasonable handoff if they cancel every recurring service. Changes after launch go through the Website Agent, in plain language.
Either can do good work. Ask both the same questions about ownership and upkeep.
It depends on how ready your content is. Photos, services and details are usually the slowest part.
Compare what happens after launch, not just the build price.
A website redesign checklist starts before any design: record which pages bring visitors and calls, keep their content and addresses or redirect each one, and carry over your name, address, phone and hours exactly.
