Signs your website needs a redesign
A site doesn't have to be old to need a redesign. It just has to be working against your business instead of for it. If 2 or 3 of these sound familiar, a redesign is worth a look.
- It's slow: pages take several seconds to load on a phone, and some visitors leave before seeing what you offer.
- It doesn't work well on mobile: people have to zoom, buttons are tiny, the menu overflows. Most local customers search from their phone.
- You can't edit it yourself: changing your hours means calling someone or digging through a dashboard you forgot how to use.
- Google can't find it: when people search for your service and your city, your competitors show up instead.
- The design looks dated: it no longer reflects the quality of your work, and you hesitate to share the link.
- It's an old WordPress site full of plugins: every update is a gamble, one plugin breaks another, and security warnings pile up.
How to redesign a website without losing your rankings
The real risk in a redesign isn't the look. It's losing, in a few days, the Google visibility your site built over the years. That happens when old addresses vanish without redirects, or when pages that attracted visitors get deleted. A careful redesign protects that work.
- Audit the old site: list every page and its address, and flag the ones that get visits or appear in Google.
- Map the new site: every old page gets a clear destination. Useful pages are kept, improved or merged, never deleted at random.
- 301 redirects: each old address automatically points to the right new page, so Google understands the content moved.
- Structured data: your name, address, phone, hours and services are described in a format Google reads directly.
- Post launch checks: sitemap submitted to Google, links and forms tested, and 60 days of follow up included.

Website redesign pricing
A redesign uses the same packages as a new site, at a fixed price plus tax, paid once. See the full details on the pricing page or read how much a website costs in Quebec.
| Package | Price | Typical timeline |

| Booking | $3,299 | 2 to 3 weeks |

If your current site is fast, works on mobile and is easy to edit, you may not need a full redesign. Better copy or a well filled Google Business Profile can be enough, and you'll hear that honestly on the first call. Browse the portfolio to see recent work.
