Startups and businesses tackling a website rebuild face more than just a design refresh—they’re often working with outdated tech, shifting goals, and the pressure to move fast. Without structured project management, those efforts can unravel fast.
We’ve seen it firsthand:
One B2B team came to us with legacy internal systems and a plan to layer modern tools on top. But before we could build anything new, we had to address the existing infrastructure. Their goals were valid—but they weren’t ready for the leap. We helped them take a more realistic path forward.
Another common challenge? Choosing between “off-the-shelf” platforms and custom development.
Custom builds can be powerful—but if they’re written in a way that locks you into one developer’s approach, you’re stuck. On the flip side, platforms like WordPress and Shopify are great for many use cases—but they can become patchworks of plugins and workarounds that don’t scale. In a few recent projects, clients outgrew those platforms and needed custom builds to truly meet their needs.
One project we stepped into had no content strategy and required legacy system integration. A 10-week timeline stretched into months—until we helped realign the scope, rebuild the plan, and move forward with clarity.
Skipping the planning phase often leads to:
- Scope creep from unclear requirements
- Budget overruns from last-minute features and lack of prioritization
- Missed deadlines when roles, decisions, or content fall through
Apricity’s process is built to prevent these pitfalls. We guide each client through structured discovery, realistic timelines, and a transparent workflow. Whether you’re launching something new or overhauling what’s outdated, smart project management isn’t a luxury—it’s the backbone of a successful build.
