03 / FAQ
What technology stack does SMG build websites on?
Our default stack is React (Next.js or CRA) with a FastAPI or Node backend and headless CMS. For ecommerce we default to Shopify Plus or headless Shopify with a custom React storefront. Every site ships with GA4, structured data, and a full SEO layer baked in.
How long does a custom website design project take?
Landing pages and campaign microsites ship in 10-21 days. A full brand or ecommerce site is typically 8-14 weeks depending on integrations. Website redesigns for existing brands average 10 weeks door-to-door.
Do you handle website redesign or just new builds?
Both. Redesign engagements are roughly half of our web work — we inherit the existing brand, rebuild the surface, migrate the CMS, and preserve SEO equity through 301 mapping and structured data continuity.
Can you build Shopify or ecommerce websites?
Yes. We build Shopify, Shopify Plus, and headless Shopify storefronts with custom React front-ends, subscription flows, and integrated content commerce. Every ecommerce build includes a full conversion instrumentation layer.
