Website redesign and migration that protects your rankings

A new look or a new platform, with the search visibility you’ve built kept intact.

A redesign is one of the riskiest moments for your SEO. Changed URLs, removed pages and missing redirects can wipe out years of rankings overnight. We plan every redesign and platform move as an SEO project first, so your new site launches on solid ground.

The problem

Redesigns often cost the rankings they were meant to improve

It’s a common story: a business launches a beautiful new website, and organic traffic drops by half within weeks. Old URLs return errors, content that ranked is gone, and nobody mapped the redirects.

It’s frustrating to pay for an upgrade that sets you back. We protect what works, fix what doesn’t, and track performance closely after launch.

What’s included

A redesign or migration managed end to end, with SEO protected at every step.

Pre-launch SEO audit

A full crawl and benchmark of rankings, traffic and top pages before anything changes.

URL & redirect mapping

Every old URL mapped to its new home with 301 redirects.

Content preservation

Pages that rank and convert are kept, improved or merged, never lost.

New design & build

A fresh design on WordPress or Webflow, with SEO built in.

Platform migration

Moves between WordPress, Elementor, Webflow, Wix, Shopify and WooCommerce.

Post-launch monitoring

Indexing, rankings and traffic tracked through your support period, with defects fixed as needed.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose my Google rankings if I redesign my website?

A well-planned migration keeps the risk low. Most ranking losses come from missing redirects, changed URLs and deleted content, and we map and protect all three. Some short-term movement is normal while Google processes the changes.

How long does a website migration take?

Most redesigns and migrations take 6 to 10 weeks, including the audit, build and testing. Larger sites can take longer.

Can you move my site to a different platform?

Yes. We migrate between WordPress, Elementor, Webflow, Wix, Shopify and WooCommerce, keeping content, URLs and SEO settings where possible.

What happens after launch?

We monitor indexing, rankings and traffic through your package’s support period (14 to 60 days), fix any defects quickly and report on how the new site compares with the old one.

Can you redesign without changing my URLs?

Often, yes. Keeping URLs where possible is the safest approach, and we only change them when there’s a clear SEO or user benefit.
