For existing websites

Make your website fit the business you run today.

A redesign is an opportunity to fix unclear content, awkward navigation, and outdated workflows. We begin with what your existing site needs to accomplish, then define the design and development changes that support it.

Discuss your project

Identify the problems behind the redesign request

A dated appearance may be the most visible concern, but the useful questions go deeper. Can visitors find the right service? Does the content describe the current business? Are enquiries reaching the right place? We review the site against the tasks it needs to support.

Share customer feedback, known technical issues, and available usage information. We use these inputs to distinguish content and interface improvements from features or technical changes that require a wider rebuild.

  • A review of the existing pages and key visitor journeys
  • Known issues and business changes to address
  • A proposed scope for focused updates or a wider rebuild

Decide what to keep, rewrite, and reorganise

The current site may contain useful explanations, established page addresses, and assets worth carrying forward. We identify the content needed in the new structure and plan any rewriting, consolidation, or new pages included in the project.

If page addresses will change, redirects need to be considered as part of the migration scope. Forms and connected tools also need a clear plan so the new interface supports the business process behind it.

  • A page and content inventory for the agreed scope
  • A map from current pages to the proposed structure
  • Migration needs for content, page addresses, and integrations

Review the new site and coordinate the changeover

We build and review the agreed layouts and functions before the new site replaces the existing one. That review includes the scoped content, navigation, forms, responsive behaviour, and migration tasks.

Launch planning identifies the required accounts, the people providing access, and the checks needed after changeover. Handover and any ongoing support are confirmed in the proposal so responsibility for future updates is clear.

  • Review milestones for design, content, and functionality
  • An agreed launch checklist and access requirements
  • Post-launch checks and support where included

Questions, answered

A few useful answers.

Do I need a full rebuild or a smaller redesign?

That depends on what is causing the problems. Content, navigation, or layout changes may be possible within the existing setup. New functionality or limitations in the current platform can justify a wider rebuild. We review the site and available access before proposing the approach.

Can we keep the content and branding we already have?

Yes. We identify which existing materials remain accurate and useful, then plan how they fit the new structure. The scope can focus on selected journeys or pages, or include broader content and visual changes when those are needed.

What happens to my existing page addresses and integrations?

We identify relevant page addresses, forms, and connected services during planning. The proposal specifies which are retained, replaced, or migrated and any redirects or integration checks included. Access to the current site, domain, hosting, and connected accounts may be needed.
