It feels slow
Heavy themes, oversized media or too many plugins can make every visit harder than it should be.
Replace a slow, unclear or rented website with a focused Astro build. We review what is worth keeping, improve the structure and protect useful URLs through a careful launch.
Reasons to redesign
A redesign is useful when the current site makes the business harder to understand, trust or contact. A cosmetic reskin cannot solve a weak page structure or a tangled technical setup.
Heavy themes, oversized media or too many plugins can make every visit harder than it should be.
The layout, navigation or forms no longer work cleanly on the device most customers use.
Important services, locations and proof are buried, combined on one page or missing completely.
The website is tied to a rental platform, old supplier or editing system that no longer fits the business.
What the redesign includes
The work starts with the business and the existing site, not a pre-bought theme. The aim is a clearer route from the first visit to a useful enquiry.

Useful words, photography and brand assets can stay. Anything inaccurate, duplicated or no longer helpful gets a deliberate decision rather than being copied automatically.
WordPress can work well when it is configured and maintained carefully. For a typical brochure or service website, Astro can provide a simpler public site without a live content database or plugin dashboard.
The old platform is assessed on its merits. Valuable URLs and content are mapped into the replacement; the redesign page does not assume every old site should be treated the same.
Ownership and price
For a standard 5–7 page redesign. The finished website is owned outright, with six months of hosting and small edits included.
Before launch, existing pages are reviewed and useful addresses are mapped to their most relevant new destination. Forms, navigation, metadata and redirects are checked after the switch. Rankings can change during any redesign, so the work focuses on preserving real value rather than making guarantees.
Website redesign FAQs
Redesigns start from £500 where the standard 5–7 page build is a good fit. The final quote depends on the existing site, content, integrations and redirect work required.
Yes. The useful content, domain and search-visible URLs can be reviewed, then rebuilt with Astro. WordPress is not automatically bad, but a small business site often does not need its database and plugin stack.
The existing domain can normally stay in place. The launch work connects it to the new site once the build has been checked.
No supplier can promise unchanged rankings. The redesign process records useful existing URLs, maps appropriate redirects and preserves relevant content and metadata where it still serves visitors.
Yes, where they remain accurate and useful. The audit identifies what should be kept, rewritten, reorganised or left behind.
The replacement is built and checked before the domain is switched. The aim is a controlled launch with minimal disruption, followed by checks of key pages, forms and redirects.
Small edits are included for six months. If regular self-editing is important, that requirement can be discussed before the build so the right approach is chosen.
