Website redesign in San Luis Obispo — without losing what works.
Half the redesigns we’re asked to quote shouldn’t happen. The site isn’t the problem — the copy is, or the speed is, or Google can’t find it. So before anything else: do you actually need a redesign? If yes, here’s how to do it without breaking what you’ve built.
The redesign-without-regression checklist
A redesign done right protects three things:
- Your rankings. Every old URL gets mapped and redirected. Skip this and years of SEO evaporate at launch — we’ve seen SLO businesses lose half their traffic to a pretty new site.
- Your conversions. Whatever currently makes the phone ring stays above the fold. New paint, same doors.
- Your ownership. The rebuild lands on a platform you control and can edit. A redesign is the moment to escape a hostage CMS, not enter one.
What a redesign includes with us
Strategy first: what the current site does well (verified with data, not vibes), what it’s costing you, and what the new one must do. Then design, copy, build, redirect map, launch, and a live walkthrough so you can run it yourself. Fixed quote before we start; most redesigns ship in 3–6 weeks. Details on the web development page.
The practical stuff
How much does a redesign cost vs. a new site?
Similar ranges — low-to-mid four figures for most SLO small-business sites — because a proper redesign is a rebuild with homework. The audit-first path ($400) sometimes reveals a cheaper answer: fix the copy and speed, keep the design.
Will I lose my Google rankings?
Not if it’s done right: full URL mapping, 301 redirects, preserved page content where it ranks, and a post-launch crawl check. Ask any redesign bidder to explain their redirect process — it’s the fastest competence test there is.
Can you redesign just part of my site?
Yes — a homepage-plus-key-pages refresh is a common middle path. It concentrates budget where visitors actually land.
