Website redesign · Surrey & beyond

Your business has moved on.
Has your website?

Five years old? Ten? Or simply no longer right for your business? Give your website a fresh start.

We build your replacement on a separate preview link, so you can explore it and give feedback while your existing website stays live.

Discuss your redesign See how it works

Review before launch. Keep your domain. Plan the switch with confidence.

A fresh start, carefully planned

Your existing website Live during the build

Business as usual.

Customers can continue using your current website while its replacement takes shape separately.

Your new website Preview & review

Your next chapter.

Explore the new design, review the content and provide feedback before approving the launch.

Once approved, we coordinate the switch to your existing domain, with the launch planned to minimise disruption.

01 / Sound familiar?

A website can be live.
And still hold you back.

Age alone doesn’t mean a website needs replacing. What matters is whether it reflects your business and helps people take the next step.

01 / FIRST IMPRESSIONS

It looks a little dated.

The layout, images or branding no longer reflect the quality of your business today.

02 / MOBILE EXPERIENCE

It’s awkward on a phone.

Small text, difficult menus or frustrating forms make simple tasks harder than they should be.

03 / OUTDATED INFORMATION

Your services have changed.

Important services are missing, old information remains or the website tells yesterday’s story.

04 / UNCLEAR NEXT STEPS

Getting in touch takes effort.

Visitors have to hunt for contact details or work out what to do after reading a page.

05 / EVERYDAY UPDATES

Simple changes feel difficult.

Updating text, adding a service or replacing an image has become unnecessarily complicated.

06 / A NEW DIRECTION

You’ve outgrown it.

Your business needs something the original site wasn’t built for, such as bookings, payments or a clearer service structure.

02 / Explore the difference

Same business.
A clearer impression.

A redesign is an opportunity to rethink the message and the customer journey, as well as the appearance. Switch between these fictional concepts.

Before / A missed opportunity

There’s a business here.
But its story is missing.

  • A generic introduction says little about the service.
  • Everything competes for attention.
  • The next step is easy to overlook.

Fictional design demonstration, not a client project. The preview action is illustrative. No performance results are implied.

03 / See it before it goes live

Your new website.
Your chance to explore it.

You shouldn’t have to wait until launch day to see how your website comes together.

During your agreed redesign project, we provide a separate preview link so you can review the pages, explore the layout and try the key features.

REVIEW WITH CONFIDENCE

Space to get the details right.

Check your service information, review the wording and see how the design feels on your phone. We’ll work through the revisions included in your proposal.

The preview build forms part of a commissioned redesign, after the scope, price and starting payment have been agreed.

04 / How the redesign works

A fresh website.
A considered transition.

From the first look at your current site to the final launch checks, we’ll explain what happens next.

We review the existing setup before agreeing how the replacement will be built and launched.

Tell us about your current website
  1. 01

    Review the starting point

    Discuss your current website, what you want to improve and the hosting, domain and access arrangements already in place.

  2. 02

    Agree the scope & price

    Set out the pages, features, content responsibilities, revisions and launch arrangements before work begins.

  3. 03

    Build & review separately

    Develop the replacement on a preview link while your existing website remains live. You review it and provide feedback.

  4. 04

    Approve & prepare

    Finalise the agreed changes, test the key functionality and confirm the launch plan once approval and the required payment are in place.

  5. 05

    Launch & check

    Coordinate the switch to your existing domain, then check the live pages, forms and agreed functionality.

05 / Looking after the details

Keep what matters.
Plan what changes.

A redesign involves more than replacing the front page. We consider the existing setup when preparing your proposal.

YOUR DOMAIN

The address people know.

A redesign can usually launch on your existing domain. We’ll confirm who manages it and what access is needed.

YOUR EMAIL

Check the connections.

We review how your business email is connected before making hosting or domain changes, and agree any necessary work.

YOUR EXISTING PAGES

Handle the move thoughtfully.

We discuss content to retain and identify changes to page addresses so appropriate redirects can be included in the launch scope.

Your existing website stays live during development. The final launch is planned to minimise disruption. The exact approach depends on your hosting, domain and website setup.
06 / Your questions, answered

A fresh start.
Fewer unknowns.

My website is over ten years old. Can you replace it?
Yes, we can discuss a replacement even if the original website uses an older platform. We’ll first check access, content and any features you need to retain.
Will my existing website stay live?
The replacement is built separately, so your current website can remain live during development. We then agree a launch plan designed to minimise disruption during the final switch.
Can I keep the same domain name?
Usually, yes. We’ll check your domain arrangements and the access required to connect it to the replacement website.
Do I have to change hosting providers?
Not necessarily. We’ll review whether your current hosting is suitable and whether the necessary access is available. Any recommended hosting changes and costs will be discussed before proceeding.
Do you build the demo before I decide to go ahead?
The preview website is part of the paid redesign project. We first agree the proposal and starting payment, then begin development. You can review the replacement before approving its launch.
Can you keep my existing text, images and branding?
Yes, where they remain suitable and you have the right to use them. We’ll agree what to keep, what needs updating and whether any new content is required.
What happens to my business emails?
We check your email setup as part of the launch planning. A website redesign does not automatically require an email move. If changes are necessary, we’ll explain and agree them separately.
What happens to links to my old pages?
We identify important existing page addresses and discuss which will stay the same. Where addresses change, appropriate redirects can be included in the agreed work.
How much does a redesign cost?
It depends on the size of the website, the features, content work and launch requirements. Send us your existing website and what you want to improve, and we’ll provide a clear proposal.
How long will the redesign take?
We’ll agree an expected schedule based on the project and availability. Access, content and timely feedback all affect progress. Let us know if you have a particular deadline.
What if I only need a few improvements?
Tell us what you want to change. If a smaller update is a suitable option, we can discuss that rather than assuming you need a complete rebuild.
