Reams and reams of "business" shots with people doing handshakes and cheesy smiles

They need to launch and have their first even though, hence me trawling through some of the worst, most teeth-grinding, images on the internet.
Like those little figures holding up words like 'success' and 'helpful'? Yeah. we've got bundles of those :-(

All those shots of clean-cut types on there are of your actual staff, are they? Not, for instance, stock shots? :rubchin:

Much better to have pictures of nicely-dressed American gay chaps shaking hands instead Imo.

If it's one-time, how does one reengage to ensure SEO is optimized, etc.?

Ongoing stuff like optimisation, updates, hosting and development is all done on an ad-hoc basis.
I dislike cookie cutter solutions, everything is bespoke. The sites we build are usually pretty complex, social networks, e-commerce, media uploads etc so there's never a one size fits all solution.

I very much doubt the NYT, Number10.gov and Le Monde would build their sites in it if that was an issue though.
And in terms of overheads, it's open source
