Your Old Website Is Costing You Business — Let’s Fix That

If your website is slow, looks outdated, or isn’t showing up on Google, it’s actively pushing customers away. We audit your existing site, rebuild it hand-coded from the ground up, and launch something that works as hard as you do — fixed price, no surprises.

6 Signs Your Website
Needs a Redesign

Most business owners know something’s wrong — they just haven’t got around to fixing it. Sound familiar?

Slow Load Times

If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, 53% of visitors leave before seeing anything. Google also penalises slow sites in its rankings. A rebuilt, optimised website loads in under 2 seconds — typically under 1.

Mobile Doesn’t Work

Over 70% of web traffic now comes from mobile devices. If your site is hard to navigate on a phone — tiny text, broken layouts, hard-to-tap buttons — you’re losing the majority of your potential customers.

Not Ranking on Google

Old websites often lack the technical SEO foundations Google requires to rank: no schema markup, missing meta data, poor site structure, and slow Core Web Vitals. A modern rebuild fixes all of this from day one.

Embarrassing Design

Your website is your first impression. If you’re reluctant to send people to it, or if the design looks like it’s from 2010, it’s eroding trust before a single word is read. First impressions form in 0.05 seconds.

Hard to Update

If changing a phone number requires a web developer, something has gone badly wrong. Modern WordPress builds give you full control over your content via an intuitive dashboard, with no technical knowledge needed.

Low Conversion Rate

Plenty of visitors but no enquiries? Weak calls to action, confusing navigation and a lack of trust signals are the most common culprits. A redesign addresses every friction point in the customer journey.

A Full Rebuild — Not Just a Lick of Paint

A lot of agencies offer a “redesign” that amounts to updating the colours and swapping a few images. That’s a refresh. What we do is fundamentally different.

We start by auditing your existing site from top to bottom: page speed, technical SEO health, content quality, user journey, mobile performance, and conversion rate. We map out every page, every ranking keyword, and every backlink you’ve earned over the years so nothing of value gets lost in the rebuild.

Then we rebuild it completely — hand-coded HTML, CSS and WordPress, with no page builders, no bloated plugins, and no template shortcuts. Every line of code is written specifically for your site. The result is a website that loads faster, ranks higher, and converts better than anything a drag-and-drop builder can produce.

We handle 301 redirects for all your old URLs, migrate every piece of content, configure analytics, and test across every device before launch. Your Google rankings are protected throughout.

Everything Included

What’s Included in
Every Redesign

No bolt-ons, no nasty surprises. Everything your site needs to succeed comes as standard.

Full New Design

A completely bespoke design tailored to your brand, audience and goals — no templates, ever.

Hand-Coded Rebuild

Every page is written in clean HTML, CSS and PHP — no page builders, no bloat, lightning-fast performance.

SEO Migration

We preserve all your existing rankings — meta data, keyword targeting, schema markup and internal linking fully audited and ported across.

Content Migration

All your existing pages, images, blog posts and product content migrated carefully to the new site with accuracy.

Speed Optimisation

Image compression, lazy loading, minified assets, and a caching strategy to hit 90+ on Google PageSpeed Insights.

Mobile-First Build

Designed and built for mobile from the outset, then scaled up to tablet and desktop — not the other way around.

301 Redirects

Every old URL mapped and redirected to the correct new page so you don’t lose a single drop of link equity or ranking.

Analytics Setup

Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console configured and verified so you can track every visitor and conversion from day one.

We analyse your current site’s performance, SEO health, content, rankings and user journey. You get a detailed report of what’s working and what’s holding you back.

We present full-page mockups based on your brief and brand. You review, give feedback, and we refine until you’re completely happy before a single line of code is written.

03

Build & Migrate Content

We hand-code the new site on a private staging environment, migrate all your content, and set up 301 redirects for every old URL.

04

Test & Optimise

Cross-device and cross-browser testing, speed optimisation, SEO checks, form testing and a full content review before you sign off on launch.

05

Launch

We flip the switch, monitor closely for the first 48 hours, submit the new sitemap to Google and hand over full training so you can manage your site with confidence.

Common Questions
About Redesigns

We get asked the same questions before every redesign project. Here are the honest answers.

Ask Us Anything
Will I lose my Google rankings in a redesign?

Not if it’s done properly — and that’s exactly what we specialise in. Before we write a single line of code, we audit every page, every ranking keyword, every backlink profile and every indexed URL. We then implement comprehensive 301 redirects, migrate all SEO metadata, and rebuild the site’s technical foundation to be stronger than before. In most cases, clients see a rankings improvement within 60 days of launch. We’ve never lost a client their rankings through a rebuild we managed.

How long does a redesign take?

Most full website redesigns take between 4 and 8 weeks from sign-off on the brief to launch. The timeline depends on the size of your current site, the volume of content to migrate, and how quickly you can turn around feedback on design concepts. Smaller sites — up to 10 pages — can often be completed in 3 to 4 weeks. Larger sites with e-commerce or complex features typically take 6 to 10 weeks. We’ll give you a firm timeline in your quote.

Can you keep my existing content?

Absolutely. Content migration is included in every redesign. We copy every page, blog post, image, product listing and media file across to the new site. If you’d like us to review and improve the copy at the same time — updating it for SEO or refreshing the tone — we can include that as part of the project. We’ll discuss what you want to keep, update, or remove during the audit phase.

What about my domain?

Your domain stays exactly as it is — we build on a private staging environment and migrate everything across on launch day. There’s no need to change your domain, and we’d strongly advise against it from an SEO perspective. We handle all the DNS changeover, SSL certificate, and hosting migration if needed. Your domain is your biggest SEO asset and we treat it with care.

Will my site go offline during the rebuild?

No. Your existing site stays live throughout the entire rebuild process. We build the new site on a private staging URL that you can review and approve before anything goes public. Once you’re happy, we switch the domain over to the new site — which typically takes less than an hour and has zero downtime. Your business keeps running without interruption from start to finish.
