Rebuilding a site is easy. Keeping what was working, less so.
Most redesigns tank traffic for months. We identify what is actually working today, preserve it, and fix the rest.
This is for you if any of these sound familiar
Your site is several years old and you are afraid to touch it.
An agency proposed a redesign without ever asking about your current rankings.
You changed your offer but your site still talks about the old one.
Your site looks fine on desktop and is unusable on mobile.
Three workstreams, in this order
Know what is working before you break it
This is the step most redesigns skip, and it is why traffic drops afterward. We do not touch anything before we know what is driving results.
- Inventory of pages generating traffic and inbound leads
- Current rankings mapped query by query
- Content that must be preserved, identified clearly
- Diagnosis of what is actually blocking progress
Restructure around intent
A successful redesign is not a color change. It is often splitting pages that were trying to serve two different needs at once.
- New architecture by audience and by intent
- Rewrite of pages that mixed multiple topics
- Conversion paths revisited page by page
- Internal linking rebuilt
Migrate without losing anything
The invisible work — and the one that is costly when rushed. Every URL needs a destination.
- Complete redirect plan
- Error page cleanup
- Metadata and heading hierarchy carried over
- Position monitoring in the weeks that follow
