Website redesign & existing sites.

Improve an existing website without losing what already works. We review its content, interface and technical constraints before defining the redesign or repair.

The job this service must do

An existing website should be understood before it is redesigned. Content, search visibility, integrations and operational constraints are reviewed so useful parts are preserved and real problems are prioritised.

A useful first scope

What we define
and deliver.

  • A time-boxed code and runtime review
  • Prioritised findings with evidence and a repair scope
  • Agreed fixes, release notes and handover documentation

A small, isolated issue may fit the $49 Website Fix. Broader redesigns, unfamiliar codebases and ongoing care need a review and separate quote. Do not send passwords or production records in the project brief.

Service coverage

What the work can include.

The final combination follows the project brief. Every included page, feature, integration and review point is named in the written scope before implementation.

01

Current-site review

A bounded inspection of the interface, content, responsive behaviour and relevant technical constraints.

02

Redesign direction

A prioritised page and component plan that separates visual changes from structural or platform work.

03

Migration planning

Content, URLs, forms, analytics and integrations accounted for before the replacement goes live.

04

Release comparison

Key journeys, redirects and browser behaviour checked against the agreed acceptance scope.

Working process

From brief to a testable release.

The proposal names the review milestones. Timing depends on the number of pages and features, content readiness and third-party access.

Review what exists

Record current pages, platform, dependencies, business-critical paths and known problems.

Prioritise the change

Separate urgent defects, content problems, usability issues and long-term improvements.

Repair or rebuild

Choose a focused repair, staged redesign or new implementation based on evidence and ownership.

Protect the transition

Test redirects, forms, tracking, content and rollback steps before replacing the old site.

Starting price / USD

From $19/month

Maintenance. Final quote after scope.

Basic website maintenance with agreed routine checks, update frequency and a defined response window.

No unlimited changes, new pages, new features, emergency support, malware cleanup, server or database work, SLA or 24/7 support. Additional work and third-party fees are quoted separately.

Scope decisions

Questions to settle before build.

The proposal records confirmed requirements and lists any unknowns that need a separate, bounded review.

Repair or replace?

A stable codebase with isolated problems may be repaired. Structural limits or unsupported dependencies can justify a rebuild.

Search continuity

Existing URLs, metadata and useful content need a redirect and review plan before launch.

Access and backups

Repository, hosting and service access should be confirmed with a recoverable backup before implementation.

Case study references

Reference studies
and interface details.

Each study identifies its public source, material status and the interface details being reviewed.

Is a small website bug a redesign project?

Not usually. One small, clearly defined issue may fit the $49 Website Fix. Wider debugging, structural changes or multiple issues need a separate quote after review.

Frequently asked questions

Before you send the brief.

Can you work inside an unfamiliar codebase?

Usually after a bounded review that identifies the stack, risk, reproducibility and whether the change can be estimated responsibly.

Will a redesign keep our current URLs?

Useful URLs should normally be preserved. When one must change, the migration plan defines its redirect and metadata checks.

Is ongoing maintenance required?

No. Ongoing care is optional and separately scoped. Handover is not conditional on a maintenance subscription.
