Website Redesign
Most websites do not fail because of a single flaw. They accumulate structural decisions made when the business was smaller, the audience was less understood, and the available tools were more limited. A redesign is the opportunity to rebuild from a clearer position. We treat it as an intentional rebuild, not a visual refresh.
Capabilities
What a website redesign includes
Baseline first
Site Performance Audit
Before any design work begins, we audit the existing site for technical health, page speed, crawlability, and conversion structure. The audit determines what to keep, what to replace, and what needs to be rebuilt from scratch.
No ranking loss
SEO Equity Preservation
A redesign that damages existing search rankings costs real revenue. We map every URL with meaningful traffic, write the redirect strategy before development begins, and confirm the crawl state after launch. Ranking loss from a redesign is avoidable with the right process.
Starts at 375px
Mobile-first Development
We design and build at the mobile viewport first, then scale upward. This is not a stylistic choice — it reflects how the majority of your visitors arrive. A mobile experience that was built last is rarely as good as one that was built first.
Better user flow
Conversion UX Restructuring
We identify where the existing site loses qualified visitors and rebuild those flows with clearer hierarchy, more purposeful calls to action, and less friction between arrival and contact. Conversion improvement is designed in from the beginning, not added at the end.
Maintainable result
Clean Codebase Handoff
The redesigned site is built with readable, maintainable code that your internal team or a future developer can understand and modify. We do not build on top of existing broken code; we rebuild on a clean foundation.
Systematic rollout
Staged Launch with QA
We run a structured QA process on staging before anything goes live. Load testing, mobile verification, form testing, redirect verification, and cross-browser checks are all completed before the DNS switch.
Our approach
Auditing before designing saves time
The most common redesign mistake is starting with the visual direction before understanding what is actually broken. We run the audit first so that design decisions are anchored in real data — speed scores, bounce patterns, search visibility — rather than assumptions about what looks outdated.
Redirect strategy is not optional
Every page with existing search traffic or inbound links needs a documented plan before launch. A URL change without a 301 redirect loses the accumulated ranking signal for that page permanently. We complete the redirect map before development starts, not as a last step before go-live.
Mobile performance is the baseline
A site that scores 90 on Lighthouse for desktop and 50 on mobile is not a high-performing site. We treat mobile performance as the primary target and desktop as the secondary, because that is where the majority of search traffic lands.
We rebuild on clean foundations
We do not patch visual style onto legacy code. If the existing codebase is fragile or difficult to maintain, then the redesign uses a clean modern stack. This costs more upfront and costs significantly less over the following years of maintenance.
All engineering work is done by US-based engineers. We do not offshore any development or architecture work.
