    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 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.
