Website Redesign

A new website. The rankings you already earned.

A redesign should improve how your website looks and works without giving up the search visibility it has built. We plan for that before design begins.

  • Inventory what ranks.

    Before anything changes, we list every page and the searches it brings in.

  • Map every redirect.

    Each old URL points to its new equivalent before launch, page by page.

  • Carry over what earns traffic.

    Titles, content, and structured data that bring in search visits move to the new site.

  • Check before and after launch.

    We crawl the site on both sides of launch to catch missing pages and broken links.

  • Vargas Law Office

    Indexed pages went from 9 to 45 when Google crawled the new pages, and September 2026 search clicks reached about 8× the spring monthly average.

Design & Engineering

Custom web development services. Built around your business.

A website has a job: bring in inquiries, calls, bookings or sales. We plan the work around that job, from strategy and UX/UI design through development, content management, performance and launch. Every layout is designed and tested for phones, tablets and desktops. Every site ships with analytics and conversion tracking, so you can see which pages produce leads. We build on established platforms and in custom code, and we keep improving the site after launch if you want us to.

Technology & Platforms

The right platform makes a difference.

A template, a Webflow build or a WordPress theme is enough when the site is mostly marketing pages and the layouts it needs already exist. It launches faster and costs less up front. Custom web development earns its place when the site has to do something a theme can’t, such as specialized functionality or connections to the systems you already run, like a CRM or booking tool. It takes longer to build, and it grows with the business without working around a template. We recommend a platform after we see what the site has to support and who will manage it.

Built for Performance

Built to rank from day one.

Search visibility, performance, and usability are part of the development process. We plan for them from the beginning, giving each website a strong technical foundation at launch.

Search doesn’t stop at launch.

Our team also provides SEO and AI search visibility services, connecting website development with ongoing optimization for traditional and AI-powered search.

SEO & Digital Marketing
  • Redesign & Redirect Planning

    Existing content and search rankings inform the redesign, with redirect mapping and migration planning designed to preserve established visibility.

  • Search-Friendly Structure

    Clear page hierarchy, metadata, on-page SEO, and structured content make websites easier for people and search engines to understand.

  • Performance & Core Web Vitals

    Clean code, optimized media, and performance-conscious development help websites load quickly and respond smoothly.

  • Schema Markup

    Structured data helps search engines interpret relevant information about your business, services, and content.

  • Accessibility

    Accessible interfaces are considered throughout design and development, with WCAG requirements implemented and tested to the level established for the project.

  • Analytics & Conversion Tracking

    Integrated analytics and conversion tracking provide visibility into how people find, use, and interact with your website.

  • Content Management

    Practical CMS tools allow your team to manage pages, publish content, and keep information current.

  • Ownership & Maintainability

    Maintainable code and clear ownership give your business control over its website and the flexibility to develop it further.

FAQs

A few things worth knowing.

How much does web design and development cost?

Cost depends on what the site has to do. The main drivers are the number of unique page templates, how much content we write or migrate, a second language, integrations with systems like a CRM or booking tool, custom functionality, and whether a redesign has to carry over existing search rankings.

A template-driven marketing site and custom web development for an application sit at very different points. We start with a free scoping conversation, then send a written estimate before any work starts.

What’s the difference between WordPress, Webflow, and custom development?

WordPress works well for content-heavy websites and established editorial workflows. Webflow offers visual flexibility and convenient content management for marketing teams. Custom development gives us more control over specialized functionality, data, and integrations.

As a web design and development company, we work across these technologies and recommend a platform based on the project’s requirements.

Should we redesign our existing website or build a new one?

That depends on the condition of the existing website, its technical foundation, content, and business goals. Some websites benefit from a focused redesign, while others need a more substantial rebuild.

We review what’s working, what needs to change, and what should be preserved before recommending an approach.

Will a website redesign affect our Google rankings?

A redesign can affect search performance, particularly when page URLs, content, navigation, or technical structure change.

We plan redirects, preserve valuable content, and account for existing search visibility throughout the redesign process. These steps reduce migration risk and help protect the search equity your website has established.

Will my new website be ready for SEO at launch?

Yes. Our development process includes technical and on-page SEO foundations such as clean site structure, schema markup, optimized media, page performance, and analytics.

We also provide ongoing SEO and AI visibility services for businesses that want to continue improving their search presence after launch.

Who owns the website and its code?

You own the completed website and its code. We develop with maintainability in mind, so your team or another developer can continue working with it.

We also build content management tools that allow your staff to make everyday updates without relying on developers.

How long does it take to design and develop a website?

Timelines depend on the project’s scope, content, integrations, and technical requirements. A website built on an established platform may require less development than a custom web application.

We establish the schedule during planning, along with the project scope and milestones. For reference, the Vargas Law Office website took about three weeks to build, and a national Shopify Plus store went from first meeting to consumer launch in 15 weeks.

Do you provide website maintenance after launch?

Yes. We offer ongoing website maintenance, technical support, updates, and development services.

This can include performance improvements, new functionality, CMS updates, and continued work as your business needs evolve.

Explore Website Maintenance

Can you take over an existing website built by another team?

Yes. We work with established websites and software that need improvements, new functionality, or technical modernization.

Our web development agency experience includes evaluating existing codebases, understanding their limitations, and planning improvements without unnecessarily replacing what already works.

Can you integrate our CRM, analytics, or other business systems?

Yes. Custom builds connect to existing systems through APIs, and every website ships with analytics and conversion tracking. For a national Shopify Plus store, we connected the storefront to the client’s app accounts through single sign-on.

We review the systems involved during scoping and include the integration work in the written estimate.

Can we move to a new platform without losing search rankings?

A platform move changes URLs and templates, which is where rankings are usually lost. We inventory the pages that bring in search traffic, map every redirect, and carry over titles, content, and structured data before launch.

After launch, we crawl the new site to catch missing pages and broken links.
