Website Redesign for NZ Tradies

A rebuild can help when the problems affect more than one small part.

Common signs include:

One problem does not always mean a full rebuild is needed.

We can review whether the main issue is design, structure, content, or a mix. The scope should match the real problem.

Age alone is not a reason to replace a site.

A site may still have a sound layout and useful pages. It may just need clearer content. It may need new service pages or agreed search work.

Some sites only need a smaller change. Others have wider problems. Repeated patching may no longer make sense.

We separate those cases before paid work starts.

If the design and structure are still sound, see Get Found for NZ Tradies. That service covers optional search and content work.

The old site is part of the rebuild brief.

Before we replace it, we can review:

Good material can stay when it still fits.

Old, copied, weak, or wrong material can be left behind. The aim is simple. Keep what helps the business. Replace what does not.

For the normal build items, see What You Get.

A redesign can change more than colours and fonts.

The agreed rebuild may improve:

The exact work depends on the current site. It also depends on the agreed package and scope.

We do not add pages just to make the site look larger. Each new page should have a clear job.

For current build sizes and starting ranges, see Website Packages.

A redesign can change page names and site structure. Old URLs should not be ignored.

We review useful current pages before the new structure is final.

An important URL may be able to stay the same. That avoids a change that is not needed.

Some URLs may need to change. We can map each useful old URL to the best new page. A permanent redirect can then be used when it makes sense.

We also update internal links for the final page addresses. The sitemap should use those final URLs.

Search visibility can move after a rebuild. Search engines may need time to recrawl the site. We do not promise that rankings will stay the same or improve.

The new site does not normally take over the live domain on day one.

We can prepare the new direction away from the live site. The current website can stay available while you review the replacement.

You approve the agreed pages before the switch. The domain is connected at the launch stage.

Business email is separate from the website build. It is not changed by default.

Some domain or hosting setups need extra care. We confirm that before launch.

For the full review, build, and handover steps, see How It Works.

Having an old site does not remove the preview step.

The working homepage preview gives you a new direction to assess. You see it before the wider rebuild is agreed.

You can compare it with the current site. Check the service message. Check the layout and main contact path too.

If the direction works, we confirm the page scope. The fixed quote is confirmed at that point. Paid work starts after that agreement.

If you do not continue, the old site does not need to change.

See Free Website Preview for that first stage.

The current site affects how much work is needed.

Common scope factors include:

We confirm the fixed build quote after the review. The page scope must also be agreed.

The Website Packages page shows current starting ranges for standard builds. Some rebuilds need a different scope. Their final quote may sit outside those ranges.

Standard hosting and SSL are part of the current build offer. Domain registration and business email are separate costs unless the quote says otherwise.

A website rebuild is not the same as ongoing marketing work.

The rebuild can cover the agreed site, pages, forms, and search setup. It does not add every future service.

Ongoing articles are separate. Monthly search work is separate. Paid ads are separate too.

Google Business Profile work is also separate unless another approved scope includes it.

This keeps the rebuild focused on replacing the website itself.
