Two clear paths from your Journey prototype. Preferred: a full production rebuild so Ven design and UX recreate your direction properly. Credibility for referred prospects, not lead-gen SEO.
Cadence is a mid-size accounting and financial planning firm. The website exists for referred prospects who need to feel confident before they book, not for SEO lead generation. You have already given clear direction through strategy, content and the Journey prototype. Ven expert design and UX recreate that direction properly for production. You will not update the site often, so a proper build now future-proofs the investment rather than revisiting in about 12 months.
Legacy site no longer matches the brand or Journey. Domain was down on discovery, so lift-and-shift of a live front end is not the path. Content, strategy and IA are already owned internally.
Ven recreates your Journey with expert design and UX, then productionises and hosts it. We are not re-running strategy discovery, inventing a multi-page IA, adding a blog, or introducing a CRM.
Option B (preferred): full production rebuild with proper design and UX so the site lasts. Option A: lighter tidy and deploy on Ven hosting. Same rate either way: $180 + GST / hr.
Preferred path is Option B. Option A stays as a lighter alternative. Same rate on both. Calendly in each package; custom booking UI optional on B only.
Lighter alternative: polish the Journey prototype, productionise for Ven hosting, preserve SEO, hand off analytics. Build-out and deployment, not a greenfield rebuild.
Ven expert design and UX recreate your direction properly across the single-page experience. Future-proofs a site you will not update often.
Lighter alternative: design tidy-up and UX polish of what you already have, productionised for Ven hosting and deployed on Ven servers. Framing: build-out and deployment of your Journey, not a greenfield strategy project.
Preferred path. You have given clear direction; Ven expert design and UX recreate it properly across the single-page Journey, with richer stories interaction and production finish. Because you will not update often, a proper build now future-proofs the site so you do not revisit in about 12 months. Calendly in base; custom booking optional.
