How much does a website cost in the UK?

Your site is dated, but it still brings some work, and you're worried a new one will lose it. We rebuild it without throwing away what Google already knows about you.

WhatsAppnowMaria L.Hi, found you on Google. Any openings this week for a checkup? It's a 2016 van.
Your website is dated, and you're nervous about touching it
Most owners put off a redesign for one of these reasons.
- It was built years ago, looks it, and nobody can edit it any more.
- You've heard of businesses whose enquiries vanished after a new site.
- The old developer has the logins and isn't answering emails.
- Half the pages describe services you stopped offering.
A redesign that moves your Google visits across with it
How we get there
Before designing anything, we list the pages that bring visits and enquiries today and the searches they appear for. Those are protected: their content is improved, not deleted, and every old address points to its new page.
Then we rebuild the rest: faster on a phone, a page for each service, clear calls to action. Same domain, a better site, and Search Console watched after launch.
Every old address leads somewhere
Page by page, so visitors and Google land on the right new page instead of an error.
301 redirect map
Same domain, better site
We keep your domain and what already works, and rebuild the rest.
Watched after launch
Errors and visits checked in Search Console in the weeks after the new site goes live.
post-migration monitoring
How a redesign works without losing rankings
Four stages, protecting what works before changing anything.
Inventory
Every page, its visits and its links, from your Search Console and a full crawl.
New structure and redirect map
The new pages and where each old address will point, written into your plan.
Design and build
The new site built and approved page by page on a private address, while the old one keeps working.
Launch and monitoring
Redirects live, sitemap submitted and errors watched in the weeks after launch.
What a website redesign with us covers
Design, copy, migration and redirects. The scope goes in your proposal.

- Fast and ready for Google
- A watch after launch
We list the pages your new site has to keep
We look at your site in Search Console and on Google and send you the pages that bring visits today, the searches they rank for and what a redesign would have to keep. Plus what it's losing by being slow or unclear.

- The plan, page by page

1 · What we found
Your “dog vaccinations” and “puppy health check” pages bring most visits; the redesign quote you had would delete both.
2 · The plan, page by page
- Keep and improve the two pages that rank
- Map every old address to its new page
- Domain moved into the practice's name
- Search Console checked weekly after launch

You pay for the new site once it's live and the old pages are safe
How paying on completion worksQuestions about redesigning a website
What UK owners ask before replacing an old site. Yours can go in the form.
How much does a website redesign cost in the UK?
It depends on how much there is to migrate (hundreds of pages, a shop, several languages). The audit tells you before we start, in a fixed price you pay in one go once the new site is live.
Will a redesign hurt my Google rankings?
Not if the migration is done properly: same domain, every old address redirected to its new page and Search Console checked after launch. We can't promise rankings, but we avoid the usual causes of drops.
My old web designer has the logins. What can I do?
Ask them by email to transfer the domain and hosting to you; most do. If they don't reply, the domain's registrar has a process for the registered owner. We help with both before starting the redesign.
Can you keep my current text and photos?
Yes, what still works stays, improved where needed. Pages that bring visits keep their content and their address, or point to a better one. Outdated pages are rewritten or removed with a redirect.
How do I know if my website needs a redesign?
If it's slow on a phone, you can't edit it, it doesn't say clearly what you do and where, or it doesn't bring enquiries any more. The audit tells you whether a redesign is needed or a few fixes would do.
A website redesign rebuilds an existing site (design, copy, structure and the technical side) without losing what works: your domain and the pages Google already shows. With us it's a fixed price, paid in one go once the new site is live.
More detail: Website redesign
A dated site sends work to your competitors every day
People judge a business by its website in seconds. A site that looks abandoned or crawls on a phone makes them try the next result, even if your work is better.
The longer the old site stays, the more you rely on what it still brings. The free audit tells you which pages have to be kept and what a redesign would gain.
Redesigning a UK site: your .co.uk, your logins and your old developer
The domain is usually the most valuable thing your old site has. A .co.uk or .uk domain is registered through a registrar to a named owner, and it should be you or your company; if the old developer registered it in their name, we help you get it transferred before anything else.
We also update what UK rules expect a business site to show (company details if you're a limited company, a cookie banner that waits for consent, a privacy notice for the contact form), so the new site isn't just better-looking but up to date.
Signs it's time to redesign your website
Not every old site needs rebuilding. These are the signs that a redesign will pay off, rather than a few fixes.
It's hard to use on a phone
Text you have to zoom into, buttons too close together, a menu that doesn't open. Most of your visitors are on a phone.
You can't change it yourself
Every edit needs someone who's hard to reach, or the platform no longer gets updates.
It doesn't say what you do
Your services are buried in one page, so Google has nothing specific to show for each search.
It doesn't bring calls
Visitors arrive, but the phone, the text button or the form are hard to find.
Moving to a new website without losing your rankings
Most traffic drops after a redesign have the same causes: old addresses that return errors, content that disappeared, pages blocked from Google by mistake or a domain change with no plan. Google's own guide to moving a site with URL changes comes down to the same steps we follow: map old to new, redirect each address and watch Search Console (site moves with URL changes).
If the problem is only speed or a few technical errors, you may not need a redesign at all: see website speed optimisation or an SEO audit.
What a website redesign costs with us
It depends mostly on the size of your current site: how many pages there are to keep, merge or create. A redesign is a new custom WordPress website, so we size it with the inventory from the free audit and give you a fixed price that doesn't change mid-project. You pay it in one payment once the new site is live and you've checked it. What other providers charge, with sources, is in how much a website costs.

When a redesign is the right call, and when it isn't
Right call if
- Your site is outdated, slow or hard to change.
- It gets some Google traffic you want to keep.
- You want a fixed price and a signed date.
Not a fit if
- You want to change domain and brand with no plan: we'll plan it first.
- You need it live within a week.
- You need a custom web app.
