WordPress Website Redesign

A redesign should make your website easier to use and better at producing enquiries, without throwing away the search visibility it has already earned. That is the whole brief, and it is why every WordPress website redesign I do starts with an audit rather than a mood board.

Signs your website needs a redesign

  • It looks outdated next to your competitors, and customers notice.
  • It is hard to use on a phone: tiny text, buttons too close together, forms that are awkward to fill in.
  • Navigation is confusing, so visitors cannot find your services or your phone number.
  • Pages load slowly, especially on mobile connections.
  • There is no clear path to contact you: no visible call button, a long form, or a contact page buried in the menu.
  • Editing is painful, so the site never gets updated.

Audit first

Before quoting a redesign, I review the current site: which pages get traffic and enquiries, what Google Search Console shows, how fast the key pages load on mobile, and how the site is built. Sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need a full redesign. Slow pages can often be fixed with speed optimization for a fraction of the cost, and I will tell you if that is the case.

Keeping your URLs and SEO

Wherever possible, existing page addresses stay exactly the same. Pages that rank today keep their content focus, titles and headings, improved rather than replaced. When a URL genuinely has to change, it gets a one-to-one 301 redirect to its closest new equivalent.

Redirect and migration process

  • Export a full list of current URLs before any work starts.
  • Build the redesign on a staging copy, so the live site keeps working.
  • Map every old URL that changes to one new URL. No mass redirects to the home page.
  • Update internal links and the XML sitemap to the new addresses.
  • Back up the live site, launch, then test redirects, forms and tracking.
  • Submit the sitemap in Search Console and watch for errors over the following weeks.

Before and after, documented

Every redesign includes a simple before and after record: screenshots of key pages on desktop and mobile, page speed measurements, and the URL map. You can see exactly what changed instead of taking it on trust.

Deliverables and exclusions

Included: audit summary, refreshed design for the agreed pages, mobile-friendly layouts, a clear call to action and lead form, redirects where needed, basic on-page SEO carried over, and a walkthrough at handover.

Not included unless agreed: new copywriting for the whole site, new pages beyond the agreed scope, hosting or domain costs, paid themes or plugins, e-commerce, and ongoing SEO. The Website Redesign package and its full scope is on the pricing page. Larger redesigns are quoted from the audit.

Common questions

Will I lose my Google rankings?

A careful redesign should not cost you rankings. Expect some movement while Google recrawls, which usually settles within a few weeks when URLs and content focus are preserved.

Can you redesign a site that is not on WordPress?

Yes, by rebuilding it on WordPress. That is a migration as well as a redesign, so the redirect mapping matters even more.
