YOUR WORDS
If a page explains the job better than we would, it stays. You know your trade and your customers better than we do, and there is usually a paragraph in there that has been quietly earning its keep for a decade.
ALREADY GOT A SITE
WEBSITE
REBUILDS.
Most of the work we do is replacing a site that has quietly stopped pulling its weight. Built years ago by someone who has moved on, or put together on Wix one weekend and never touched since. It still loads, so nobody has ever called it a problem, and meanwhile it is losing you work you never hear about.
- From £500 ◦ fixed before we start
- Nothing up front ◦ pay when you love it
- Two to three weeks ◦ typical rebuild
WORTH REBUILDING?
THE USUAL SIGNS.
You do not need all of these. One is usually enough to be costing you work, and most people recognise two or three straight away.
-
AWKWARD ON A PHONE
Text you have to pinch to read, buttons too small to hit, a menu that fights back. Most of your customers are on a phone, so if it is awkward there it is awkward everywhere that counts.
-
"NOT SECURE" IN THE BAR
If the browser puts a warning next to your address, a good share of visitors leave before reading a word, and anyone filling in a form is being told not to. It is a certificate problem and it is fixable, but it should never have been there.
-
SLOW TO LOAD
Uncompressed photos straight off a camera, a page builder loading half a megabyte of code to draw a heading. On a phone in a van with two bars, that is the difference between a call and a back button.
-
OUT OF DATE
Prices from three years ago, a service you no longer offer, a phone number you have changed. Every one of those is a small reason for someone to doubt the rest of it.
-
YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT
The person who built it has gone, nobody has the login, or every small edit means an email and an invoice. So nothing gets changed, and the site drifts further from the business every month.
HOW WE GO ABOUT IT
WE KEEP WHAT WORKS.
A rebuild is not a blank sheet. Your existing site has things in it that took years to get right, and throwing those out along with the bad bits is how rebuilds end up worse than what they replaced.
YOUR RANKINGS
Old pages get redirected to their replacements rather than deleted, so the standing you have built up in search follows you across. Rebuilds that skip this step are why some businesses vanish off Google the week their new site goes live.
YOUR DETAILS
Everything the old site carried comes across. Payment options, opening hours, the social accounts, the certifications, the review widget. Nothing quietly disappears because it was inconvenient to move.
WHAT YOU'RE ON NOW
DOESN'T MUCH MATTER.
Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, WordPress, Weebly, something a relative built in 2011, or a site whose original developer cannot be reached. We have moved sites off all of them. You do not need to know what yours is built on, and you do not need to sort anything out before ringing us.
One thing worth knowing early: if your domain was registered through Wix, moving it takes an extra step and a bit of lead time. We will check that on the first call rather than discovering it the week you want to go live.
You keep the domain either way. It gets registered in your name, not ours, and if you ever want to take the finished site elsewhere you can. More on ownership here.
BEFORE AND AFTER
REBUILDS WE'VE DONE.
Each case study shows the old site next to the new one. Some are live client work and some were built unprompted to show what we would do, and both are labelled so you know which is which.
NOT SURE YET?
FIND OUT BEFORE
YOU SPEND ANYTHING.
Not everyone needs a rebuild. Plenty of sites are three fixes away from working properly, and nobody has ever told the owner which three. We go through yours by hand and write up what we find in plain English.
You keep the findings whether you use us or not. If someone else built your site, the report is written so you can forward it to them exactly as it is. And if the answer is that a rebuild is the right call, the £95 comes off it.
ALSO WORTH A LOOK
THE REST OF IT.
GOT A SITE THAT'S GONE STALE?
SEND US THE LINK.
WE'LL TELL YOU STRAIGHT.
We will look at it before we quote, so the number you get is for your site rather than an average one. No obligation, and if it does not need rebuilding we will say so.
