Web Development
Websites built to be looked after
Augusta Technology builds and maintains business websites and online stores on WordPress and WooCommerce — the build itself, and the plugin work, integrations, performance, technical SEO, migrations and accessibility a site needs once it is live.

Web work does not need a site visit, so it is not limited to the on-site area around Augusta, Washington and Defiance.
What this covers
The work, described plainly
Not every project needs all of it. These are the pieces a website engagement is assembled from.
-
Business websites
Marketing sites on WordPress: pages, navigation, forms and a structure your own team can edit without breaking it.
-
Online stores
WooCommerce storefronts — products, categories, checkout, shipping and tax configuration, and the systems an order has to reach after it is placed.
-
Custom plugins
The behaviour a site needs when no existing plugin does it properly, written to WordPress standards rather than bolted on top of a page builder.
-
Integrations
Connecting the site to what sits behind it: forms to inboxes and records, payments, calendars and the business software you already run.
-
Performance and technical SEO
Page speed, correct markup, canonical URLs, sitemaps, structured data, and the crawling and indexing problems that keep a site out of results.
-
Migrations and moves
Moving a site between hosts or platforms with its URLs and redirects preserved, so an existing search position is not thrown away in the process.
-
Accessibility
Keyboard access, visible focus, colour contrast and semantic structure — treated as part of the build rather than retrofitted after a complaint.
-
Maintenance and updates
Core, theme and plugin updates, backups, and fixing what breaks — ongoing, or called in when you need it.
The problem it solves
Most website problems are maintenance problems
A website is not a thing that is finished. It is software that keeps running, on a platform that keeps changing, pointed at search engines that keep changing their minds. The sites that go wrong are usually the ones nobody has been responsible for since launch.
That is the problem this service is built around: not producing a design, but owning what happens to the site afterwards — the updates, the breakages, the slow pages, the indexing errors and the migration nobody wants to do.
Common starting points
- The site is slow, or falls apart on a phone
- Search Console is reporting errors nobody has looked at
- Whoever built it is no longer available
- The store takes orders but nothing reaches the systems behind it
- An update broke something and nobody can undo it
- The site has to move to a new host
- A rebuild is due and the existing URLs must not break
How a project works
Four steps, and you see each one
Understand what the site has to do
What it is for, who it is for, what exists today, and which parts of it must not break.
Agree the scope in writing
A plain-language description of what will be built, what stays as it is, and what it will take to run afterwards.
Build where you can see it
Work happens on a staging copy you can open and react to, and changes are made there — not on the site your customers are using.
Launch, then keep it working
Redirects checked, search engines told, and the same person still accountable for the site the week after it goes live.
Tell me what the site has to do.
A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether this is a build, a fix or a maintenance problem.
