// Is your site holding you back?[ 8 signs ]

Eight signs you need a WordPress redesign

If three or more of these apply, your site is actively costing you leads, rankings and revenue. Book a free audit and we'll tell you exactly what's wrong.

Takes more than 3 seconds to load on mobile — Google's threshold for high bounce rate
Looks dated compared to competitors and you're embarrassed to share the URL
You need a developer to change basic text, images or prices
Conversion rate is below 2% — visitors leave without calling, buying or enquiring
Not ranking on page one for your core service or product keywords
Built on a page builder (Divi, Elementor, WPBakery) that's dragging your PageSpeed score down
Mobile layout is broken, overlapping or simply a compressed version of the desktop
Migrating from Wix, Squarespace or Shopify and hitting platform limitations
// Our process[ 6 steps ]

From audit to live in six clear steps

Standard timeline: 4–6 weeks for sites up to 15 pages. Complex or ecommerce builds typically take 8–10 weeks.

Week 1

Technical audit

We audit your site in full — SEO health, Core Web Vitals, UX friction, redirect structure and security posture. You receive a written findings report with every issue prioritised.

Week 1–2

Wireframes

New site architecture and page hierarchy presented as wireframes. You approve content structure and user journeys before any visual design is created.

Weeks 2–3

Figma design

Full visual designs across all pages — desktop and mobile — with two structured revision rounds included. Nothing moves to build without your sign-off.

Weeks 3–5

Development

Hand-coded custom WordPress theme built on a private staging environment. Performance, accessibility and on-page SEO are built in from the start.

Week 5–6

Migration & QA

Content migrated from your existing site or platform, redirects mapped and verified, cross-browser and device testing completed, PageSpeed target confirmed.

Week 6–7

Launch

DNS switch, SSL verification, Search Console sitemap resubmission and uptime monitoring configured. Your site goes live and is re-indexed by Google within 48 hours.

What our clients say

"Our old site was costing us leads — slow, dated and impossible to edit. WPDA audited everything, redesigned every page and rebuilt on a clean custom theme. PageSpeed jumped from 34 to 94. We were ranking page one for three target keywords within 60 days of launch."

James Calloway
Managing Director, Peak Financial Services
Manchester

"We moved from Wix to WordPress and the difference is night and day. WPDA mapped every redirect, preserved our domain authority and launched on time. The new site loads in under a second — our old one took eight. No rankings lost, conversions up immediately."

Rachel Thornton
Founder, Thornton & Co Interiors
Leeds

"We'd been with our old agency three years and the site hadn't moved. WPDA showed us wireframes before writing a line of code, gave us weekly staging updates and delivered exactly what was scoped. Fixed price, no surprises, launched on time. Exactly what a redesign should feel like."

Marketing Manager, Greenbrook Legal

Everything
you wanted
to ask

No — not if the redesign is handled correctly. Before development begins, we document every existing URL and map it to its new destination. We implement 301 redirects for any structural changes, preserve all canonical tags and meta data, and resubmit your sitemap to Google Search Console on launch day. We also monitor Search Console closely in the weeks after launch. The vast majority of our clients see their rankings hold or improve within 4–6 weeks of going live. Ranking drops after a redesign are almost always caused by missing redirects or removed content — both of which our audit process catches before we touch a line of code.

Yes. We migrate content, images, blog posts and product data from any platform to WordPress. The migration is treated exactly like a redesign: full technical audit, SEO redirect mapping, canonical preservation and a performance-first custom theme rebuild. You keep your domain, your existing domain authority and your search rankings. The key difference is that after migration you're no longer locked into a proprietary platform — you own the codebase, you can edit content yourself, and your site will load significantly faster. Most Wix and Squarespace sites we migrate score 90+ on PageSpeed within the first week.

The fundamental difference is SEO equity. Your existing domain has accumulated authority through backlinks, indexed content and search history — sometimes built up over years. A brand-new domain starts with none of that, meaning you'd be competing from zero in search results. A redesign preserves that equity through careful redirect mapping and content migration. We also start with an audit of your current site, so every design decision is informed by real data: which pages convert, which don't, where users drop off, what's slowing the site down. That means every change we make has a justified reason behind it.

That's a partial redesign and it's a very common brief. We regularly scope projects around specific pages — homepage, key service pages, landing pages or a product range. The process is the same: audit first, wireframes for approval, Figma designs before development. The main consideration with partial redesigns is visual and technical consistency with the pages we're not touching. We'll flag any conflicts during the audit call and quote accordingly. If you're not sure whether a full or partial redesign is the right approach, the free audit call is the best place to work that out — we can run a live PageSpeed and rankings check on the call.

Not necessarily. We migrate and reformat your existing copy into the new design and structure. Where content needs restructuring for readability or flow, we'll handle that as part of the build. What we do look for in the audit is content that's likely holding back your rankings — thin pages under 300 words, keyword gaps where your competitors are outranking you, or calls to action that aren't converting. We'll document every content issue in the audit report and present options. If you do want new copy written, we work with trusted SEO copywriters who understand WordPress and conversion — available as a scoped add-on.

A standard redesign (up to 10 pages) typically takes 6–8 weeks from signed quote to launch. Larger sites with more pages, complex layouts or ecommerce functionality run 10–14 weeks. All timelines are fixed in the written proposal before work starts. You'll see the new design in Figma before we build a line of code — you can review and request changes at every stage without it affecting the launch timeline, as long as feedback is returned within 48 hours.

The free audit call covers: a live PageSpeed Insights test on your homepage and key service pages; a review of your Core Web Vitals data in Google Search Console; a check of your top 10 organic rankings and any recent drops; an assessment of mobile usability; and an honest view of what's holding back your conversions. We'll share the screen on the call so you can see exactly what we're looking at. No commitment required — the audit is genuinely free.

Yes. Every redesign includes WCAG 2.1 AA compliance as a baseline: sufficient colour contrast ratios, keyboard navigability, properly labelled form fields, meaningful alt text, logical heading structure and no content that relies solely on colour to convey meaning. For public sector clients or regulated businesses with stricter accessibility requirements, we scope to WCAG 2.2 AA. Accessibility isn't a checkbox — it also improves SEO, as screen reader-friendly markup is cleaner markup.

Yes. Homepage-only redesigns are common, particularly for businesses that want to test a new design before committing to a full site rebuild. The process is the same: audit, wireframes, Figma design, development, staging review, launch. The main consideration is visual continuity with your existing inner pages — we'll note any conflicts in the audit and you can decide how much of the site to include in scope.

Yes. WooCommerce redesigns are a common project — typically triggered by an outdated theme, slow performance or a poor checkout conversion rate. We audit the existing store, benchmark its performance and conversion metrics, then redesign and rebuild using a custom WooCommerce theme. All products, orders and customer data are preserved. Payment gateways are re-tested before launch. WooCommerce redesigns start from £1,200.

The audit-first approach. Most agencies start with the design — we start with the data. Before we design a single screen, we know which pages are underperforming, what's slowing your site down, where users are dropping off and what your competitors are ranking for that you aren't. That means every design decision we make has a justified reason, and the finished site isn't just prettier — it converts better and ranks higher.

Yes. The price in your written proposal is the price you pay. We don't issue change orders for things that were in scope. The only time a price changes is if you add significant new requirements after the specification has been approved — in which case we quote the addition separately before doing any work. No surprises, no scope creep invoices.

WordPress redesigns start from £1,200 for a Starter project (up to 5 pages). Business projects (up to 15 pages with blog) start from £2,800. Enterprise projects with ecommerce or complex functionality start from £5,000. All prices are fixed and confirmed in writing after a free audit call. The audit is genuinely free — no commitment required before you receive your fixed-price proposal.

The 30-day support window covers bug fixes, content amendments, go-live issues and any post-launch tweaks. If something doesn't behave as specified, we fix it at no extra cost. This period also includes Google Search Console monitoring for crawl errors following the launch, and a final performance check at day 30. After 30 days, ongoing support is available via our monthly Care Plans from £150/month.
