Signs it's time for a redesign
Your website is working against you when …
If you recognise two or more of the signs below, a redesign usually pays for itself quickly – with more enquiries, more sales and less editing work.
It's awkward on mobile
Most visitors come from their phones. If they have to zoom, hunt for the menu or miss the button, they go to a competitor.
It loads slowly
Slow pages lose visitors and rank lower in search engines. An outdated theme, heavy plugins and unoptimised images are common causes.
Editing is complicated
You need a developer for every change, or you're afraid of breaking something. A modern editor gives you back control.
Outdated technology
An old version of PHP, WordPress or OpenCart and unsupported plugins mean security risks and problems with updates.
It doesn't bring in enquiries
You have traffic, but few calls and orders. Unclear messages, hidden calls to action and long forms put customers off.
It's not accessible or AI-ready
No accessibility statement, poor contrast and no structured data (Schema) for search engines and AI assistants to read.
We keep what works
A redesign with no drop
in Google.
The biggest risk in a redesign is losing rankings because page URLs change. That's why, before the redesign, we list all existing URLs, check which pages bring in traffic and set up a permanent 301 redirect for every changed URL.
We carry over titles, descriptions, images with alt text and structured data, and after launch we monitor indexing in Google Search Console and fix any 404 errors as they come up.
- ✓ An inventory of all existing URLs and traffic
- ✓ 301 redirects for changed URLs
- ✓ Migration of content, images and meta data
- ✓ Titles and descriptions kept or improved
- ✓ Schema.org structured data
- ✓ Sitemap and Search Console
- ✓ 404 error monitoring after launch
A real-world example
Kalcer store redesign: before and after
We're redesigning an existing OpenCart store integrated with Navision into a modern, clearer look. Category and product URLs stay the same, so Google traffic is kept. Drag the divider to compare the old and new store.
The new store is still in development. Current store: trgovina-kalcer.si · Kalcer project

How does a redesign work?
01
Review of your current website
We analyse content, traffic, speed, SEO and the technical state, and agree on the redesign goals together.

03
Design
We prepare a design proposal for the key pages and agree it with you before the build.

Build on staging
We build the redesign on a separate staging link – your current website keeps running as usual.
05
Launch and monitoring
We launch the redesigned website, set up redirects, check indexing and train you to edit it.
FAQ
Questions about redesigns
Answers to the questions clients most often ask before redesigning a website or online store.
Ask us →Will I lose my Google rankings after a redesign?
Not if the redesign is done properly. We list all existing URLs, set up 301 redirects for the changed ones, carry over meta data and monitor indexing in Google Search Console after launch. Rankings often even improve after a redesign, thanks to a faster site and better structure.
Can I keep my existing content?
Yes. We move text, images, posts, products and categories to the new website. We can also refresh them along the way – improving titles, descriptions and image alt text.
Does the website keep working during the redesign?
Yes. We build the redesign in a separate staging environment, and your current website keeps running until launch. Launch usually happens with no downtime.
How long does a redesign take?
It depends on the scope. A small company website is usually redesigned within a few weeks; larger websites and online stores take longer. You get a detailed timeline with the quote.
Do you redesign online stores too?
Yes – WooCommerce and OpenCart stores. We migrate products, categories, customers and orders, keep product URLs and, if needed, update the store to a newer PHP version.
Is it better to redesign or build a new website?
If the foundation is good, a refresh of the design and tech is often enough. If the system is outdated or can't be safely updated, a new website with content migration makes sense. After a review, we'll advise you on what makes more sense for you.
