Service — Redesign
Website redesign and replatforming
Slow, dated, broken on phones — and often the agency that built it has stopped answering. We rebuild on current foundations and carry across the things you already earned: the content, the URLs, and the search rankings attached to them.
What you get
- An audit of the current site: speed, search, structure
- A rebuild that is responsive on every screen size
- Performance and search improvements measured against the old site
- Content migration from the existing site
- Redirect mapping and a safe domain switch
- A maintenance arrangement afterwards, if you want one
What clients tell us before they hire anyone
It is slow, and the design looks a decade old.
Both are fixable without starting the content from scratch. The audit separates what still works from what has to be replaced, so you are not paying to rebuild pages that were fine.
It falls apart on a phone.
The rebuild is responsive from the first layout decision rather than patched afterwards, and we check it on real screen sizes before launch, not only in a design file.
The agency that built it is gone, so nothing can be changed.
We do not need the original team or the original source. We work from the site that is live now, and hand back code and documentation so the next person — us or anyone else — can pick it up.
How the work runs
- 01
Audit
We go through the current site — speed, search, structure, content — and give you a written read on what to keep, what to replace, and what is quietly costing you traffic.
- 02
A fixed quote
An itemized scope of work, milestones with dates, and a fixed price, agreed after the audit rather than guessed before it.
- 03
Rebuild
A new front end on current foundations, with the information architecture reconsidered where the audit says it should be. You review at milestones in the browser.
- 04
Migrate and map
Content moves across and every old URL is mapped to its new home, so links from elsewhere and rankings you already earned keep landing somewhere real.
- 05
Switch and hand over
The domain switches over, we watch traffic and errors through the first days, and the code, files, and accounts transfer to you.
How long it takes
Most redesigns run four to eight weeks — longer than a site built from nothing, because content migration and redirect mapping take real time that design does not. The audit sets the exact number before the quote.
What it costs
Most projects fall between $1,500 and $6,000, fixed price. A small site whose content can move across as-is sits at the lower end; a large migration, a rebuilt information architecture, and a platform change sit at the upper end.

Common questions
Will a redesign hurt our search rankings?
Done properly it usually helps. Redirects and content migration are handled by rule so the rankings you have survive the move, and the speed and structure improvements give search engines more to work with, not less.
We do not have the source code of the current site. Is that a problem?
No. We work from the live site and rebuild from there. Losing contact with the original agency is one of the most common reasons people come to us, and it does not block the work.
Can you keep our current design and only fix the technical side?
Yes, and sometimes that is the right call. The audit will tell you whether the design is actually the problem, and we would rather do the smaller job than sell you the larger one.
Who owns the rebuilt site?
You do. Source code, design files, the domain, and hosting accounts all transfer to you on final payment.
Send us the URL of the site as it stands. The first thing you get back is a read on what is worth keeping — not a quote for a full rebuild.
