Website Redesign

Modernise the design and stack without losing the rankings you have earned.

Website Redesign

A redesign is the highest-risk project in digital marketing. Done well it lifts conversion and compounds SEO gains; done carelessly it destroys years of accumulated authority in a single deploy.

Our process protects what works. We audit which pages drive traffic and revenue, preserve the content and structure that earns rankings, redesign the presentation and conversion path, and build a complete redirect map before anything goes live.

Post-launch we monitor Search Console daily for two weeks and compare crawl, index and ranking data against the pre-launch baseline.

Organic traffic retained post-launch

The problems we fix

  • Losing traffic on launch day

    Changing URLs without 1:1 redirects, or dropping pages that still rank, causes immediate organic loss.

  • Redesigning for taste, not conversion

    Aesthetics-first redesigns often reduce clarity and conversion even when they look better.

  • No baseline to compare against

    Without pre-launch metrics you cannot tell whether the redesign helped or hurt.

How we fix them

  • Performance-first content audit

    Every URL classified by traffic and conversion value; nothing valuable is removed without a redirect and a decision.

  • Conversion-led design

    Design decisions justified by user research and analytics, with clear hierarchy and CTA placement.

  • Measured before and after

    Pre-launch baseline across rankings, traffic, conversions and Core Web Vitals; measured again at 7, 28 and 90 days.
