    What a defense contractor website has to do

    A contracting officer or prime visiting your site needs to confirm within a minute that you hold the right certifications, the right contract vehicles and relevant past performance. They expect a downloadable capability statement, a clear NAICS and CAGE listing, named points of contact and proof of compliance with CMMC and cybersecurity requirements. Most contractor sites bury that in a single About page, rely on a PDF nobody can find and lack any accessibility or security hardening. The site has to convert capability statement requests, teaming inquiries and RFI responses.

    Skyfield designs and builds the site, then the same team ranks it. Nothing gets handed off between a design shop and an SEO shop, so the structure, speed and content are right from the first day it is live.

    What a website for defense contractors has to do

    • Capability statement accessA current capability statement available as a page and a download, with NAICS, CAGE, certifications and differentiators visible.
    • Compliance presentationCertification and clearance pages that state exactly what you hold with issuing bodies and dates.
    • Contract vehicle detailA page per vehicle with scope, ordering guidance and contract numbers so buyers can act quickly.
    • Section 508 accessibilityAn accessible site that meets the standards your government customers expect from their vendors.

    What We Build Into Defense Contractors Websites

    The page types, integrations and details that turn visitors into customers for defense contractors.

    Capability statement builder

    A managed page and PDF that stay in sync so the download always matches the site.

    Past performance library

    Filterable past performance entries by agency, capability and contract type with only approved details.

    Contract vehicle pages

    Structured pages for GSA MAS, SEWP, OASIS and IDIQs with ordering contacts and schema.

    Teaming inquiry form

    An intake form for primes and subs that captures capability, vehicle and opportunity details.

    Careers and clearance postings

    Job listings with clearance requirements and JobPosting schema to attract cleared talent.

    Security hardening

    Hardened hosting, strict headers and access controls consistent with the posture your customers expect.

    Built on the Right Platform

    WordPress on hardened managed hosting serves most defense contractors well and keeps updates in-house. Larger contractors with strict security governance or complex content workflows are often better served by Drupal, which has a long track record in government and defense environments.

    WordPress

    Content-heavy sites, service businesses and anything that needs to be easy for your team to edit.

    Shopify

    Product catalogs, checkout and inventory for brands that sell online.

    Wix

    Smaller sites that need to launch fast on a managed platform.

    Drupal

    Larger organizations with complex permissions, content workflows and integrations.

    Custom

    Portals, calculators, booking flows and applications that no template handles well.

    Built to Rank From Day One

    Most redesigns lose rankings because the new site launches without the redirects, page structure and technical setup the old one had earned. Skyfield builds every website for defense contractors the way we would want to inherit it as your SEO team, because we are your SEO team.

    The site launches with clean URL structure, schema markup, fast Core Web Vitals, tracking in GA4 and Search Console, and content written for the searches your customers make on Google and inside AI assistants.

    I have had the privilege of working closely with Skyfield Digital through my role, engaging with their team on a near-daily basis across a wide range of initiatives. Their support spans everything from consistent day-to-day assistance and detailed monthly reporting to large-scale campaign execution. This has included email communications, video creation and editing, publishing, web content development, and the buildout of our company app—each handled with excellence and precision. Throughout my experience with multiple members of their team, I have encountered nothing short of professionalism, clarity, and confidence. Their communication is consistently thoughtful and proactive. When I’ve needed additional clarity, they have taken the time to explain processes thoroughly—always in a way that is respectful, encouraging, and empowering. What sets Skyfield Digital apart is their transparency and foresight. They clearly articulate their capabilities, and when challenges arise, they communicate proactively—offering solutions while setting clear expectations. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Skyfield Digital for application development, web design, and comprehensive digital strategy, reporting, and support.

    We’ve worked with Skyfield Digital for over a year, and they’ve become a genuinely invaluable partner to our business. Their team operates with exceptional efficiency, professionalism, and a genuine openness to feedback, consistently integrating themselves as an extension of our internal team rather than a traditional agency. What distinguishes Skyfield Digital is their collaborative and transparent approach. They don’t simply deliver outcomes; they actively educate and upskill our team, strengthening our internal understanding of SEO strategy and enabling more informed, strategic decision-making across our broader marketing efforts. During a full brand evolution and new website launch, Skyfield Digital proved to be an outstanding partner, yet again. They worked seamlessly with third-party brand and web designers, of our choosing, conducting comprehensive audits and extensive backend work to ensure the website was technically robust, fully searchable, and performance-driven — allowing the design team to focus on delivering a visually exceptional result. Their ability to collaborate across teams made a complex process feel smooth and well managed. Most importantly, the impact has been measurable. Last year, we achieved 30% business growth as a direct result of integrating Skyfield’s SEO strategy into a more holistic marketing approach. Skyfield delivers measurable results while building sustainable, long-term value. We would confidently recommend them as a trusted digital growth partner.Read the full review on Google
