One-time project · Design
Your site was fine in 2019. Now it is slow on phones, the design looks its age, and you avoid sending people to it. A redesign replaces the layout and the presentation without throwing away the address, the content that earns, or the search history you have built up.
A redesign is not a rebuild from nothing. You already have a domain with age, pages Google knows about, and copy that took you months to write. Throwing that away is how businesses lose the traffic they spent years earning. We keep what works and replace what does not.
The work happens on a staging copy while your current site stays live and untouched. You review the new version at a private address, we make changes, and only when you approve does it replace the old one — usually in under an hour, with every old URL redirected so nothing that used to work stops working.
What you get is a site that looks like it was built this year, loads properly on a phone, and can be edited by you afterwards.
Same domain, same content that earns — new layout, new speed
Scope
Everything below is part of the project. Nothing is added to your invoice without a written quote you have approved first.
Not included: New copywriting beyond formatting what you already have (see website copywriting). A new logo or brand identity. Rebuilding a store with more than 30 products, which is quoted separately. Domain and hosting fees, paid by you directly.
How it works
We go through the current site with you: which pages bring in enquiries, which look dated, what has quietly broken. That conversation, plus a short questionnaire, becomes the brief.
A full backup of files and database is taken before anything starts. The new site is built at a private staging address while your current one carries on as normal.
Layout, mobile versions, forms, images and content migration. You see progress at the staging address rather than waiting for a big reveal at the end.
Three rounds of consolidated changes. You send a list, we apply it within a business day, you look again.
The new site replaces the old one. Every changed URL gets a redirect. We check every page, form and link on the live site the same day.
What we need from you
Typical timeline: 5–10 business days from approved brief and content. Your written quote states the actual date for your project.
Pricing
Base scope: Up to 6 pages redesigned and migrated on your existing domain, mobile layouts, forms, redirects, launch, three revision rounds, 30 days of defect correction.
Anything beyond the base scope is priced from the add-on list, and your written quote shows the line items and one total. That total is what is charged — nothing more. No payment is taken on this website: once you approve the quote, a secure Stripe payment link is sent by email. US clients are billed in USD; Canadian clients in CAD or USD by agreement, plus applicable GST/HST.
Questions
Not if the redesign is done properly, which is the whole point of the redirect work. Every page Google currently knows about either keeps its address or gets a 301 redirect to the new one. Rankings usually settle within a couple of weeks. What does hurt rankings is deleting pages that earn traffic because they were inconvenient to rebuild — so we do not do that.
Almost always, yes. If the hosting is the reason the site is slow, we will say so and recommend a move, but that is a separate decision and never a condition of the redesign.
Small text and image tweaks during the 30-day support window are covered. Anything structural — new pages, new sections — gets a written quote first. Nothing goes on an invoice you have not approved.
No. The new site is built alongside the old one, and switching takes minutes. Visitors during that window simply see the new version load.
