An outdated website costs you leads quietly. Visitors leave a slow page before it loads, give up on a form that does not work on their phone, or pick a competitor whose site looks more trustworthy. We do website redesign in Ottawa for businesses in that spot.
A redesign can also lose the Google rankings you already have. Redirects from each old web address to the matching new page keep that risk low.
Signs your website needs a redesign
- It takes more than three seconds to load on a phone.
- Buttons and text are hard to use on a small screen.
- Calls and form requests have slowed down.
- The design looks older than your business really is.
- You cannot change a phone number or a photo without calling someone.
- It runs on a WordPress theme or plugins that have not been updated in years.
How a redesign works
- Review. We look at your current site, your traffic and the searches you already show up for. Pages that already rank are valuable, so we protect them.
- Plan. We decide what to keep, what to rewrite and what to remove. Most sites have pages nobody visits and questions nobody answers.
- Design and build. We design the new site around what your customers need, build it and test it on phones.
- Redirects. Every old web address points to the right new page, so Google and your visitors never hit a dead end.
- Launch and check. We watch Google Search Console after launch and fix anything that shows up.
Moving away from a website builder
Wix, Squarespace and similar tools are fine for getting started. Many businesses outgrow them because of speed, SEO limits or rising monthly fees. We can move your content to a site you fully own. If you pay once and we build it with Astro, the tool we use for most sites, hosting is free. Our web development page explains how Astro sites work.
