Outdated sites
3 – 7 years old. Worked when launched. Now looks dated, loads slow, doesn't convert.
- Last refresh 3+ years ago
- Mobile experience is rough
- Conversions trending down
Same site. Better version. Modern UX, faster load, refreshed visuals — without losing a single ranking, redirect, or piece of content equity. The work most agencies are too lazy to do properly.
Built For
Four kinds of sites that need a redesign — not a rebuild. If yours has equity worth preserving, this is the service. If you're starting from zero, look at Custom Design instead.
3 – 7 years old. Worked when launched. Now looks dated, loads slow, doesn't convert.
Business has matured but the site hasn't. New positioning, new pricing, new audience — site stuck in the past.
Site built by a previous employee, agency, or contractor. Functional but no one understands it anymore.
Hit the platform's ceiling. Need WordPress flexibility without losing search visibility built up over years.
What You Get
Eight critical pieces of a redesign done right. Skip any one and you'll lose rankings, traffic, or content. We don't skip any.
Current state analysis. Every page indexed, every redirect mapped, every meta tag catalogued. Baseline measured before changes.
Which pages keep their URLs, which get redirected, which get merged. Built to preserve every backlink and ranking.
Every page, post, image, file — moved over cleanly. Meta titles, descriptions, schema markup all preserved or improved.
Modern, brand-aligned visual redesign for every page. Two design rounds. Sign-off before development.
Every old URL mapped to a new URL (or kept the same). 301 redirects configured at server level. No 404s on launch day.
From the ground up — caching, image optimization, code minification, lazy loading. PageSpeed goes from 30s to 90s.
Built on staging. Tested 30+ scenarios. DNS flip happens in seconds. Site stays up the entire time.
Free fixes for anything that surfaces in the first month. Includes ranking monitoring & redirect tweaks if needed.
By the Numbers
The redesigns we see go wrong all fail at the same step — the migration. New design ships, old URLs break, six months of SEO equity goes up in smoke. The design isn't the hard part. Preserving what works is.
How It Works
Redesigns ship faster than custom builds because the content already exists. The real work is migrating it cleanly. Here's the order we do it in.
Crawl current site, index every page, catalogue backlinks, map ranking pages. Baseline metrics captured.
New IA decisions, sitemap, wireframes, visual design. Two design rounds. Sign-off before code starts.
WordPress custom build, content migration, redirect mapping, schema rebuild. Staged on subdomain for review.
Zero-downtime DNS, 301 verification, Search Console resubmission, 14 days of ranking monitoring.
Timeline
Five weeks from kickoff to live site. Every week has a clear deliverable. You'll know what's happening, every day.
Full crawl, page-by-page audit. Backlink inventory. Schema review. Ranking pages identified. Baseline performance captured.
New IA decisions, URL structure, redirect map (old → new), schema upgrades, content consolidation plan.
Brand-aligned redesign for every page type. Two revision rounds. Final design sign-off before development.
WordPress custom theme. Content migrated page-by-page. Meta tags, schema, images all preserved or upgraded. Redirects configured.
DNS cutover during low-traffic window. 301 redirects verified. Search Console resubmitted. 14 days of ranking monitoring follows.
Three tiers, sized by page count and content complexity. Migration from non-WordPress platforms adds $400 – $800 depending on platform.
For small sites needing a visual update with full SEO equity preserved. Up to 10 pages, content kept intact.
For mid-size sites with real SEO equity. Full redesign, content audit, schema upgrade, comprehensive migration.
For large authority sites with hundreds of pages and significant backlink profiles. Every page migrated personally.
Optional Extras
Stack any of these onto your redesign for bundled pricing. Most relevant if your existing content needs work, not just the design.
Full platform migration. Content, images, blog posts, customer data — all moved with redirects.
Rewrite outdated copy. Modern voice, SEO-optimized, conversion-tuned. Discovery-driven.
Logo refresh, color palette update, typography system. Light touch — not full rebrand.
For sites that lost rankings from a bad prior redesign. Schema audit, content gap analysis, recovery roadmap.
Page consolidation, topic clustering, internal link architecture. For sites with content sprawl.
Hosting, security, plugin updates, monthly edits. Cheaper than re-hiring an agency next year.
Recent Redesigns
Client Voices · On Redesign
Our previous agency redesigned the site three years ago and we lost 60% of organic traffic in a month. WordPress Baba did it right — zero rankings dropped, traffic up 220% in the first year. Worth ten times what they charged.
Migrated 180 pages from Squarespace. Traffic went up, not down. The redirect map alone was 40 pages of work I couldn't have done.
Old site looked like 2015. New site looks like 2026. Same content, same URLs, same rankings — leads doubled. Three weeks.
