All Edgewater Movers: what we built and what changed
A mover in New York and New Jersey since 1999. When we started in September 2026 it had one plain web page, no Instagram account and website requests that could fail to arrive. This is the record, with dates and sources.
The site
The real page
Real screenshots of the live site, Nov 2, 2026. Tap either one to open it at full size. Some sections are cropped out; the live site has them all.
Before: one plain screen, no description
On Dec 7, 2025 the home page was one screen: a quote form and a long keyword paragraph. Page title: “Alledgewaternjmovers”. No description. The site and a Google Maps listing already existed.
