Website redesign that keeps what already works

A dated site is not a lost cause, it is a business asset that stopped being maintained. A proper redesign, call it a revamp if you like, keeps the pages that earn, fixes the ones that leak enquiries, and rebuilds the whole thing by hand so it loads fast and reads as credible. No template swap, no starting your Google history from zero, and a fixed quote agreed in writing before anything begins.

/what moves, what stays

A redesign is a rescue, not a demolition

/01 · what stays

The parts already earning

Your address in Google's index, the pages people find you through, the content that answers real questions. A redesign that throws these away is a new website wearing the wrong name, and it starts from zero. Keeping them is most of the job.

/02 · what goes

The parts costing you enquiries

Builder bloat that makes phones wait, design that dates you to the year it was made, pages that never say what you do or who it is for. These get rebuilt by hand, line by line, around the one action you want a visitor to take.

/03 · what gets protected

The move itself

Every old address gets mapped to its new home before launch, so a customer clicking a years-old link still lands somewhere useful and Google follows the trail instead of losing it. The unglamorous part of a redesign is the part that protects your rankings.

/proof, not promises

A rebuild you can click through right now

Assistance Ally came to CodeSketch as a dated Wix page. It left as a hand-coded site with a new brand, and the owner's five-star Google review sits word for word on the work page. That is a finished redesign you can click through and judge for yourself. Your site's honest starting point is free to find out: the website grader scores it out of 100 and names what is dragging it down.

/how it runs

From honest score to relaunch, one person the whole way

Every redesign for a small business starts the same way: an honest read on what your current site does well, a blueprint of the new build, and a fixed quote agreed in writing. If you do not love the design at the blueprint stage, you walk away owing nothing. From there the site is rebuilt by hand, the old addresses are mapped across, and launch happens only once everything resolves. The services page shows how redesigns sit alongside new builds and care plans, and what it costs lives on the pricing page.

asked all the time

Website redesign questions, answered straight

/Q1 · What does a website redesign cost in South Africa?

It depends on how much of your current site is worth keeping and how much needs rebuilding, so every redesign gets its own fixed quote, agreed in writing before work starts and valid for 30 days. Honest published ranges live on the pricing page.

/Q2 · Will I lose my Google rankings if I redesign my website?

That risk is real, and it is exactly what a careful redesign protects against. Rankings usually break when page addresses change and nothing points the old ones to the new. Here, every old address is mapped to its new home before launch, page titles and descriptions are carried over, and the content that earns its keep stays.

/Q3 · Should I redesign my website or start again from scratch?

If your site has been live for years, its history with Google and the links pointing at it are worth keeping, which favours a redesign. Starting from scratch makes sense when the old site has almost nothing worth saving. The blueprint stage settles it honestly either way, and you only pay once you love the direction.

/Q4 · Can you redesign a site built on Wix or another builder?

Yes, and there is a finished example on the work page: Assistance Ally, a Wix page rebuilt by hand with a new brand. Builder sites cannot be edited in place by hand, so the site is rebuilt properly and the addresses are redirected across.

/Q5 · How long does a website redesign take?

It is scoped honestly at the blueprint stage, because the answer depends on how many pages you have and how much content needs rework. What you will always have is a written plan agreed before the build starts, and replies within one working day throughout.

The most expensive website is the one quietly turning customers away.
