Website redesign

Most of the websites we build are rebuilds. A website redesign from us fixes the site that looks dated, struggles on a phone or never brings in enquiries, and protects the Google rankings you already have while we do it.

Signs your website needs a redesign

Nobody wakes up wanting a new website. These are the reasons people usually ring us.

It looks older than your business

Your work has moved on but the website has not. Customers judge the business by the site before they ever speak to you.

It is hard to use on a phone

Tiny text, buttons that are hard to tap and pages that take an age to load. Most of your visitors are on a phone.

It never brings in enquiries

People visit, look around and leave. No calls, no forms, nothing to show for it.

You cannot change anything yourself

Every small edit means chasing somebody, paying for it or giving up. So the site slowly goes out of date.

What a website redesign includes

A redesign is more than a new coat of paint. Every one we do covers the same essentials.

A design built around your customers

We start with who buys from you and what they need to see, then design the pages around that.

Content that does its job

Your existing copy tidied up or rewritten, so each page answers the questions people actually ask.

Mobile first build

Built for phones first, then scaled up, because that is where most of your visitors arrive.

Speed

Lightweight pages, compressed images and no unnecessary plugins, so the site loads quickly on a 4G signal.

Every old address redirected

A full map of your old pages to their new homes, so links and rankings carry across.

Tracking from day one

Analytics, Search Console and call tracking set up, so you can see what the new site is doing.

Recent rebuilds

Two recent website redesigns, each for a business whose old site no longer matched the quality of its work.

How we protect your rankings during a redesign

The biggest risk in any website redesign is losing the traffic you already have. This is how we avoid it.

  • Every old URL mapped. Before launch, every page on the old site is matched to its new home and redirected properly. Google's own site move guidance recommends exactly this.
  • What ranks stays. Pages and content that already bring in traffic are kept and improved, not thrown away.
  • Titles and descriptions carried over. The search details that work are kept, then improved where they are weak.
  • Built on a private staging link. Your live site keeps working until the new one is ready and checked.
  • Checked in Search Console after launch. We watch for errors and missing pages in the weeks after going live.
  • Problems fixed fast. Anything that slips through is fixed within days, not left to drag your rankings down.

Website redesign questions

Will I lose my Google rankings if I redesign my website?

Not if it is done properly. We map every old page to its new address, keep the content that already ranks and watch Search Console closely after launch. Most sites hold their positions and many improve.

Can you keep my existing content?

Yes. We keep what works, tidy up what needs it and rewrite pages that are not doing their job. You see everything before it goes live.

How long does a website redesign take?

A smaller site can be live in as little as ten days once the content is ready. Larger sites with more pages and content take a few weeks, and we agree the timeline up front.

Can you redesign a website you did not build?

Yes, most of our redesigns are. We start by reviewing the current site so we know what to keep, what to fix and what to leave behind.

Do I have to move my hosting to you?

No. We can build on your existing hosting if it is up to the job. Many clients move to us because it puts the site, the hosting and the support in one place.

Should I redesign or just fix my current website?

Sometimes a few fixes are enough. Our free health check looks at your site honestly and tells you which makes more sense before you spend anything.
