Redesigns & rebuilds
A website redesign for companies whose current site is slow, dated or impossible to update. We rebuild the structure, design and code, and carry over every page Google already trusts, so the launch adds calls instead of losing them.
The short answer
A website redesign replaces the design, structure and usually the code of an existing site. We start with a crawl and a list of pages that bring in traffic, map each old URL to its new home, rebuild on WordPress with our own framework and launch through staging. Our website plans start from $1,000, $2,500 or $5,000; most redesigns take 2 weeks.
When a redesign is overdue
- The site still shows a truck you sold and prices from a few seasons ago.
- Your developer left, nobody has the logins, and even small edits take a week.
- Pages load so slowly on a phone that ad clicks bounce before the form appears.
- The last redesign dropped your Google traffic because old URLs were deleted without redirects.
- The layout made sense years ago, but your services, team and service area have changed.
How we redesign without starting from zero
For SEO, a redesign is the riskiest moment in a website's life. Old pages hold rankings and links that took years to collect, and a new sitemap can quietly throw them away. So before any design work we crawl the current site with our SEO OS, pull the pages that earn impressions and clicks, and decide page by page what to keep.
Sometimes the right move is to change almost nothing in the addresses. When we rebuilt Little Minds, an English-language site in Hungary, from Joomla on WordPress, 41 pages and 95 posts came across one to one and every URL is mapped to stay the same. The design and code were new, while the addresses Google already knew stayed exactly where they were.
Our own Hungarian site went through the same process. We rebuilt it on our framework, kept the content and structure that worked, and in a mobile lab test cut the page weight from 8.1 MB to 385 KB. Weight matters during a redesign because a heavy new theme can cancel out the benefit of better content.
Not every tired site needs a full rebuild. If the structure works and the problem is a slow theme or old photos, a refresh or a speed project costs less. If the offer itself is unclear, we sort out the message first, because new colors won't fix a muddled pitch.

Questions
Questions
Will redesigning my site hurt my Google rankings?
It can, if old URLs disappear or content that ranks gets cut. We prevent that with a redirect map from every old address to its closest new page, by keeping text that already ranks, and by checking Search Console and indexing after launch. A short dip can happen while Google re-crawls; a planned migration is built to recover from it.
How do I know if I need a redesign or just a refresh?
Run your site through our free Website Grader first. If speed, mobile layout and SEO basics are all weak and the site is hard to edit, a redesign usually costs less than patching. If the structure works and only the look or a few pages feel dated, a refresh or a speed fix is enough.
Can you redesign a site built on Wix, Squarespace or Joomla?
Yes. We rebuild it on WordPress with our own framework and move the content across. Joomla sites can often be migrated with their URLs unchanged; that is how we mapped Little Minds. From Wix or Squarespace we export what the platform allows, rebuild the rest and redirect the old addresses to the new pages.
Do we have to rewrite all our content?
No. We keep text that ranks or converts, rewrite pages that are unclear or out of date, and add pages where search data shows demand you're missing. You see a content plan before we start, so you know which pages change and why.
What happens to our email and domain during the redesign?
Nothing changes for email. We build the new site on a development copy, you review it on staging, and on launch day only the website records switch. The domain stays registered to you, and the old site is kept as a backup until the new one is live and checked.
