Website Redesign Services
Replace the site you have without losing the parts of it that are working.
Most owners know the site needs replacing. They stall on one question: what happens to the pages, the forms and the traffic that earn today. So we answer that first, page by page, and you approve the list before anyone opens a design tool.

What Our Website Redesign Services Include
A relaunch is one call repeated across every page: keep it, rewrite it, or let it go. These six pieces are how we make that call.
(06)
•An audit of what your current site earns
We start in your analytics and your inbox rather than a mood board. That shows which pages bring in inquiries and which sections have quietly cost you.
•A keep, rewrite or retire call on every page
Each page gets one of three decisions with a reason attached. You approve the list, so scope is settled before design starts rather than argued over mid-build.
•Structure rebuilt around what people came for
Dated sites are organized the way the company is organized. We rebuild the structure around what visitors arrive to do, which shortens the route to contacting you.
•Design applied to your real content
Templates are drawn on your real copy, products and photography, never placeholder text. That stops a design falling apart the week real pages load into it.
•A build that protects what must not break
Forms, lead routing, tracking, bookings and payments have live dependencies, and they break most often. Each is listed before the build and proved with a real submission.
•Handover your team can actually use
You get the logins, the source files and a recorded walkthrough for every editing task. The point is that the next page you publish does not need us.
•Problems we solve
The problems that bring owners to a redesign
Owners rarely call because they want a new website. They call because something on the current one is losing them work. These six come up most often.
Diagnose my site •01
The site is older than the business it represents
A corporate website design from 2016 still tells buyers who you were in 2016. Buyers compare you against your competitors in one sitting, and the oldest-looking site reads as the weakest business.
02
Visitors arrive and never make contact
The traffic is fine and almost none of it turns into a conversation. Calls to action sit below where anyone scrolls, and reaching a person takes too many clicks.
03
The team cannot agree on what to keep
Six stakeholders, six opinions, and nothing to settle them with. We anchor the decision in performance, search value and business priority so the scope can move.
04
Your team cannot change a page without help
Every edit turns into a request and a wait. The theme is a decade of patches, the content model was built for a developer, and adding one page is a project.
05
Most of the site is unused pages
Years of campaign pages, retired service lines and near-duplicate content make the site harder to navigate and harder to keep current.
06
You are afraid of breaking something that works
One bad launch night took the forms down and a week of submissions with them. An ecommerce website redesign carries more live dependencies than most, and each one can be tested first.
Our Website Redesign Process
(06)
Phase 01
Inventory and interviews
We pull every page the site serves, match it against your analytics, and talk to the people who answer the leads. You get a written picture of what it does today.
Phase 02
Decisions, page by page
Every page gets a decision and a reason, and you sign it. This is the meeting that sets the scope, the budget and the content workload.
Phase 03
Structure, then wireframes
New sitemap and navigation first, then low-fidelity layouts for each template. Sign-off at this stage is cheap. Sign-off on finished designs is not.
Phase 04
Design on your real content
High-fidelity templates at every screen size, built on your own copy and images, plus a prototype you can click before the build exists.
Phase 05
Build, then the break-nothing checks
The site is built on staging, then we work through everything with a live dependency: forms, tracking, bookings, payments and third-party connections.
Phase 06
Switch over in stages, then watch it
Templates go live in stages with a way back from each, and we watch traffic, inquiries and errors daily. Anything going wrong shows up in days.
•Where the money goes
The cheapest relaunch is the one that keeps what already works.
Rebuilding a page that was already doing its job is money spent standing still. The keep, rewrite and retire list stops that, and it usually shrinks the build rather than growing it. Our website redesign services also scope a platform change as its own line rather than folding it into the design, because pricing the two as one is how relaunches overrun.
•
A decision and a reason against every page
•
Scope agreed before design, not during it
•
Content workload known before a date is set
•After we hand it over
A site your team can change without booking a developer.
The old site probably became untouchable one workaround at a time. We structure content into components your team can rearrange without breaking a layout, then hand over the source files, the logins and the training.

•Frequently asked questions
Common Questions
A redesign is priced as a web design project, so it falls between $1,500 and $75,000, and the lower end is small sites and startups. Four things decide where inside that a project lands. How many distinct templates the design needs, which is rarely your page count. How much content gets rewritten rather than carried across. Whether the CMS changes, since that puts a data migration underneath the design. And whether testing runs before launch. The quote is fixed in writing before work starts. The line-item view of website redesign cost is in our guide to what a redesign costs.
