WEBSITE REDESIGN AGENCY

The website redesign agency that protects the traffic you already have.

A site that finally represents you, without losing the rankings you spent years earning. We crawl your current site before we design anything, because you cannot protect what nobody measured.

Most redesigns lose traffic, and most teams find out in month two.

The new site launches and everyone is pleased with it. Then organic enquiries drop, and nobody can say whether that is seasonal or something that happened at launch. Six weeks later someone finds the old URLs returning 404s, the redirect list that was supposed to cover them, and the twelve pages that were quietly dropped because nobody checked whether they earned anything.

None of that is a design problem. It is what happens when the redesign is treated as a design project with a technical afterthought.

We crawl first, map every URL, and compare crawls before go-live, because rankings you have not measured are rankings you cannot protect.

What a redesign involves.

01Audit and benchmark

A full crawl of the current site, with rankings, top landing pages and Core Web Vitals recorded before anything changes, so there is something to compare against afterwards.

02Design and component system

A design system rather than a set of page comps, so your team can build new pages after launch without coming back to us.

03Build and content migration

Content moved with metadata, alt text and internal links intact, on Webflow or whichever platform the audit says fits.

04Redirects and launch

Every changed URL mapped to a 301, flattened to a single hop, tested on staging while the old site is still live, then a crawl comparison before go-live.

Built for teams with a search footprint worth protecting.

Built for teams whose site already earns traffic, where a redesign is an upgrade rather than a first launch, and where a drop in organic enquiries would be noticed.

A redesign you can measure afterwards.

The same brief, built two ways.

Our SEO team joins at discovery rather than being called in afterwards to explain a drop. That is the whole difference, and it costs less to do properly than to fix later.

Planning a redesign?

Send us the site and your URL count. A technical lead will come back with what is at risk, what to keep, and what the redirect map needs to cover.

What a redesign does to your search traffic.

Some movement is normal. Any redesign that changes URLs sees positions move for a few weeks while search engines recrawl. That part is expected and it settles.

A lasting drop is not. It almost always traces to one of four things: missed redirects, lost metadata, internal links left pointing at old URLs, or pages dropped without anyone checking what they earned.

Old URLs

Every changed URL gets a 301, tested on staging before launch, flattened to a single hop rather than chained through two or three.

Metadata

Titles, descriptions and canonicals field-mapped from the old site, not retyped during the build. Rewriting them is a separate project, done later and deliberately.

Internal links

Rewritten in the content itself to point at the new URLs. Leaving them to lean on redirects works, but it degrades.

Pages nobody checked

Before anything is cut, we look at what each page actually earns. Most sites have pages nobody visits, and they do not all need migrating, but that should be a decision rather than an accident.

What you get as proof.

A crawl comparison before and after, and 30 days of ranking and 404 monitoring afterwards, so a drop is something we find rather than something you report.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website redesign cost?

Most engagements run $8,000 to $30,000+, depending on page count, how much content has to be migrated, and whether a design system is in scope. Fixed scope and fixed price after a discovery call.

Will a redesign hurt our SEO?

Some movement in the first few weeks is normal. A lasting drop usually comes from missed redirects, lost metadata or broken internal links, which is exactly what our process checks for. We crawl before, test redirects on staging, and compare crawls before go-live.

How long does a website redesign take?

Four to eight weeks for a standard redesign. Eight to twelve where there is heavy content migration, e-commerce or enterprise integrations.

Do we have to change platform?

No. Sometimes the right answer is rebuilding on what you already have. The audit in phase 01 tells us whether the platform is the constraint or whether the build is.

Can you redesign without changing our URLs?

Often, yes, and where we can we do. Where the structure genuinely needs to change, every changed URL gets a tested 301. Keeping a bad URL structure to avoid redirects is usually the more expensive choice.

What happens to our content?

Mapped with metadata, alt text and internal links intact. Structured content moves by script. Rich text, embedded media and one-off layouts need a person, and we plan for that rather than discover it.

Can AI redesign my existing website?

It can generate a version of one. What it does not do is decide which of your pages earn traffic, map the redirects, or tell you what will break. We use AI tooling in the build; the judgement is the part you are paying for.

What do you need from us to start?

Access to the current site and analytics, and a note on what is not working. The crawl gives us the rest.

Do you handle B2B redesigns specifically?

Yes, and most of our redesign work is B2B: multi-audience sites, gated content, CRM integrations and a search footprint that cannot be disturbed.

What happens after launch?

30 days of ranking and 404 monitoring, CMS training, and a recorded walkthrough you keep. Most clients stay on retainer.
