Web Design

Website redesign without losing your rankings

Website redesign for established businesses whose site is slow, hard to edit or broken on phones, rebuilt without losing what Google already trusts.

Website redesign

Website redesign that keeps what already works

Rock Solid Marketing provides website redesign for established businesses and organisations across Australia, run from our office in Mildura. Your current site has history: pages that rank, links from other sites and content people still find. You shouldn’t lose that to fix what’s wrong.

Most redesigns lose traffic for one reason. Old page addresses disappear and nobody tells Google where they went. Before we design anything, we list every page on your current site. You decide with us what stays, merges or goes, and each old address gets mapped to its new one.

Redesigns are priced like our website packages, starting from $5,000 + GST for up to 5 pages. If a refresh of a few pages will fix the problem, we’ll tell you before we quote.

What we fix

Website redesign services for sites that have stopped pulling their weight

A redesign is the right call when the problems are structural: the site’s age, its platform or its layout, not just a few outdated words.

Broken on phones

Menus that won’t open, text you have to pinch to read, buttons too small to tap. We rebuild the layout responsive from the start, then test it on phones before desktops.

Too hard to edit

If every change means emailing a developer, the site goes stale. We move you onto a content management system your team can update, and train them at handover.

Visitors can’t find things

For ISJO we redesigned the site to give clear, detailed information on its projects, initiatives and reports, built to work on both mobile and desktop.

Slow pages

Heavy images, old plug-ins and bloated themes slow a site down. A rebuild is often the cleanest fix, because patching an old theme only goes so far.

Content that no longer fits

For Overland Adventures, a refresh meant fresh content, clearer tour descriptions and easier navigation to encourage bookings, not a new site from scratch.

Rankings you can’t afford to lose

Lindsay Buckley plans the URL map and redirects before launch, so the pages Google already ranks have the best chance of keeping their place.

How it works

How a redesign runs, from audit to switch-over

Five steps, with the old site staying live until the new one is tested and ready.

  1. Discovery call

    A free 30-minute call about what’s wrong with the current site, what still works and what the new one has to do.

  2. Audit and URL map

    We list every page, decide what stays, merges or goes, and map each old address to its new one.

  3. Design and feedback

    We design the new site around your brand and content, and you give feedback in rounds before the build.

  4. Build and test

    Saimul builds the new site on a staging copy while the old one stays live, then we test forms, redirects and phones.

  5. Switch-over and checks

    We launch, confirm the redirects work and watch Search Console for errors during the follow-up support period.

Protecting your SEO

How we redesign a site without losing Google traffic

Google Search Central’s guide to site moves recommends a 301 redirect from each old URL to its new one. That’s the backbone of our launch plan. We crawl your current site. Addresses that already work stay, and the ones that must change get redirected.

We also carry over page titles, descriptions and your analytics tracking, then watch Search Console after launch for pages Google can’t find. Ask any website redesign agency for its redirect plan before you sign. Most of our redesign work is this unglamorous checking, and it’s the part that protects your rankings.

  • A list of every page on the current site
  • A map from each old URL to its new one
  • 301 redirects set up before launch
  • Titles, descriptions and tracking carried over
  • Search Console checked after launch

New look, same address book for Google.

We approached Rock Solid Marketing to build our online store for our retail division and to look after our existing website. The professionalism of Sean and his team from day one was incredible, they took the time to sit down with us to discuss our exact requirements and they offered suggestions for the build which would improve the overall running of the store.

The finished result of our online store is nothing short of fantastic- it integrates with our point of sale software, it is very easy to navigate, and presents and operates as a professionally made web store should. Since completion and hand over, the back up support we receive from Rock Solid Marketing is remarkable- nothing is too much trouble and we can contact the team at any time with any questions we may have. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sean, Janine and the team from Rock Solid Marketing for building or revamping a website, creating an online store to suit your business or with online marketing.

All FAQs

Our redesigns start from $5,000 + GST for up to 5 pages on Essentials. Standard covers 10 to 25 pages for $6,500 + GST, and Advanced covers 25 to 50 pages for $12,000 + GST. Each includes the audit, URL map and redirects, and can be paid in 6 monthly instalments.

Less than a full rebuild. If your platform is sound and only a few pages need work, use upfront hours. They’re $175 + GST an hour, bought in blocks of 3 or 5. You get a log of the time spent, and we tell you upfront if the job needs more.

Most small business sites take 4 to 8 weeks. A redesign adds the audit and URL map at the start. Sites with hundreds of pages or a store take longer. Your old site stays live the whole time, so customers don’t see a half-built page.

You probably do if your site breaks on phones, your team can’t edit it, or it no longer describes what you sell. You probably don’t if the problem is a few outdated pages or a slow image or two. Website revamp services that skip that question tend to sell rebuilds nobody needed.

A website redesign replaces how a site looks and is organised, and often the platform underneath it. It differs from a refresh, which updates content on the same design, and from a website rebuild, which replaces the code and platform and sometimes keeps the look. A web redesign often mixes all three.

Yes, it can, in either direction. Rankings drop when old URLs vanish without redirects, or when pages Google valued are cut. Done carefully, with a URL map, 301 redirects and your titles carried over, a redesign often helps. A faster, easier site tends to do better than the one it replaced.

When the business or the technology has changed, not on a fixed calendar. Good triggers are a new service line, a rebrand, a platform that no longer gets updates, or a site that fails on phones. Between redesigns, a care plan from $275 + GST a month keeps it current.

Yes, wherever they still work. A careful website redesign service agency keeps them by default. Addresses that rank stay, and the rest redirect to their closest new page. Content worth keeping is moved across and edited where it’s out of date. You approve the list of what stays, merges and goes before we start the build.
