A website from me is one fixed price for up to about six pages, designed and built by one person, with a CMS, redirects, tracking and a handover. Most of the money pays for decisions, not typing. More pages, more copy and integrations raise it, and you see the new number before I start.
Probably, unless something stops it. Check in this order: search crawlers allowed, page indexed with a snippet, words in the HTML without JavaScript, answers first, evidence on the page, markup and dates that match, mentions elsewhere. An llms.txt file comes last, if at all.
It depends on what the software is meant to do, and what you say it does. Software that only stores, sends or schedules is usually not a medical device. Software that works on one patient’s data to inform a diagnosis or a treatment usually is. Decide it module by module, in writing, before design starts.
List every old address before anything is designed, give each one a permanent redirect to its closest new page, change one thing at a time, and watch the numbers for ninety days. Nobody can promise rankings. Anyone can account for every URL.
Add up the hours your team spends re-typing and checking the same facts, then the errors that get caught late. If one year of that costs more than the tool, build it. If it doesn’t, or a product you can buy already fits, don’t.
Two free tools go with these notes: a site check for people and for AI, and a payback sum.
