Website Redesign

Website redesign for Perth businesses

A redesign should fix confusion and conversion — not just refresh colours. If visitors cannot tell what you do, who you help, or how to enquire, a prettier skin will not save the site.

We redesign around clarity: information architecture, proof placement, mobile paths and forms. Platform can stay the same (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify) or change as part of a separate migration stream.

What a redesign project covers

An audit of what already works (analytics, search pages, sales feedback); revised structure for services, proof and contact; a visual system update that still feels like your brand; stronger CTAs and enquiry paths without gimmicks; and content tightening — keep what ranks and converts, rewrite what is thin or outdated. We build in staging and cut over when ready so the live site is not casually broken.

Deliverables typically include an audit summary of keep/fix/cut pages, a proposed sitemap, key templates (home, service, proof, contact), form and thank-you paths, and a launch checklist covering redirects, analytics events and mobile QA. You should be able to point at each template and say what job it does.

Redesign vs migration vs new build

Redesign changes experience and visuals. Migration moves an existing experience to a new platform or host. A custom / CMS build may be right when the current foundation cannot support the new IA. Many projects combine redesign and migration — we scope them as distinct workstreams so risk and cost stay visible.

When redesign is a poor fit

Skip a full redesign if the real problem is unpaid ads with no tracking, a CRM that never receives form leads, or a platform you already intend to leave. Those are tracking, integration or migration jobs. A visual overhaul on a dying stack wastes the spend.

Redesign is also the wrong first move when you cannot describe the offer in a sentence, or when partners disagree on who you sell to. We will push for a short discovery pass — see our process — before drawing screens. UX/UI design is the lighter way to settle journeys if the build is not ready.

Decisions you will actually make

Expect to choose: which URLs must stay for search and bookmarks; which pages merge or retire; whether brand guidelines are rigid or open to a system refresh; who approves copy; and whether editors will update the site after launch. Freeze “nice-to-have” pages until the conversion path is clear — extra templates are the usual way a redesign balloons.

Access matters early: analytics, Search Console, CMS, DNS and any booking or CRM tools. Without them we guess at what converts. For real estate and hospitality sites, we also decide how listings, menus or venue details stay current so the new design is not a one-off screenshot.

Risks, measurement and handover

Common risks: rewriting every page when a handful of service pages do the commercial work; changing URLs without a redirect map; launching with empty proof because photography lagged; and splitting the enquiry form across too many fields. We treat those as scope items, not surprises at go-live.

Success is not “it looks modern”. We agree what to watch after launch: enquiry volume and quality, key page engagement, form completion, and whether organic landing pages still receive traffic. SEO can sit alongside if findability was already weak. We do not promise ranking outcomes.

Handover includes staging history, who owns CMS and hosting logins, a short editor path for the pages you will change most, and notes on what not to break (header CTAs, schema, redirects). Ongoing small fixes belong on maintenance; a second visual pass is a new project.

SEO, timeline and ecommerce

We protect equity where we can: URL strategy, redirects when paths must change, and respect for content that already earns traffic. Typical SME redesigns run roughly 6–12 weeks depending on content and stakeholders — how long a website project takes explains where those weeks usually go. We also redesign Shopify and WooCommerce stores when merchandising and checkout clarity are the real problem. Examples of completed builds live on our work.

Who this suits

Perth SMEs with a site that looks dated, loads slowly, or fails to generate enquiries — especially when the business offer is solid but the website undersells it.
