Explained
What is a website redesign?
A website redesign replaces the design and often the structure of a live site. It can include new templates, new navigation, rewritten content and sometimes a new platform.
The risk is search visibility. Changed URLs, removed pages and rewritten content can cause a site to lose rankings it already holds, so the plan has to protect them.

Process
How do we redesign a site without losing rankings?
- Content audit We list every page, with its traffic, links and rankings, and decide what to keep, merge or remove.
- URL mapping Each old URL is matched to its new URL or to the closest relevant page.
- Staging build The new site is built on a private copy, blocked from search engines.
- Redirect setup Permanent 301 redirects are put in place for every changed URL.
- Launch checks We test the live site against the checklist below.

Pricing
How much does a website redesign cost?
This service is quoted after a free audit, because the price depends on the scope of work. The number of pages, the platform and the amount of new content set the scope. If the redesign includes a domain or platform change, our SEO migration service covers it in more depth.
Frequently asked questions
Will a redesign hurt my rankings?
It can if URLs, content or links change without a plan. A content audit, URL mapping and redirects are there to prevent that.
What is a 301 redirect?
A 301 is a permanent redirect that sends visitors and search engines from an old URL to a new one, and passes the old page signals along.
Why use a staging site?
Staging lets us build and test the new site privately, so problems are found before visitors and search engines see it.
How long do rankings take to settle after launch?
It varies with the size of the site and how much changed. We monitor the site after launch and correct issues.
