Website redesign
How much does a website redesign cost?
It depends on scope: page count, how ready your content is, and whether it moves to a new platform. I do not publish a range, because a number quoted before I have seen the site is not a quote. You get one fixed figure after a short scoping call, and nothing appears on the invoice you did not agree to.
How long does a full website redesign take?
Usually four to eight weeks for a typical founder or service site. Bigger projects with custom features or a lot of content run longer. You get a timeline at the start and I hold to it.
Do you do website redesigns for founders and small teams?
Yes. Most of my clients are founders and small B2B teams who outgrew the site they launched on. Strategy, design and build all happen in one place, so you are not coordinating three vendors.
Will redesigning my site hurt my Google rankings?
Not when it is handled properly. Old URLs get mapped to the new ones, redirects go in place, and the existing SEO structure is preserved. Most sites hold their rankings or climb once pages load faster and read more clearly.
What is a Webflow redesign and why would I pick it?
It rebuilds your site in Webflow so your team can edit content without going near the code. You get a clean design, quick load times, and a CMS people will actually use. It fits founders who want to make changes without booking a developer every time.
Can you redesign my site without rewriting the content?
Yes. If your copy is already pulling its weight it stays, and the attention goes to layout, structure and visual design. I will point out any sections holding the page back, but you make the final call.
Should I redesign my site or start over from scratch?
It depends what you are working with. A solid foundation that just looks dated is faster and cheaper to redesign. When the structure, platform or messaging is broken, a clean rebuild usually costs less over time.
How do I know if my website actually needs a redesign?
Look at the signals. Low conversions, visitors leaving fast, a dated look, or a site you cannot update without help all point one direction. If people are not turning into leads, design is often part of the reason, and an audit will give you a straight answer in 5 working days.
Can you redesign a site built on WordPress or Squarespace?
Yes. I redesign sites from nearly any platform and can move you to Webflow or keep you where you are, whichever suits your team. I will steer you toward whatever is easiest to manage once you are live.
What is included in a website redesign?
Strategy, UX, visual design, build and launch. In practice that means sitemap planning, fresh page layouts, responsive design, redirects, and a handoff so your team can run things. Copywriting and CRM setup are available too.
What happens to my current site while you redesign it?
It stays live the whole time. Everything gets built and reviewed on a staging version, then flipped to the new site in one clean step. Visitors never catch it half finished.
