Rebuild a tired website without losing what already works
Website redesign Bundaberg businesses can trust. If your website looks dated, is painful to update or does not bring in enquiries any more, a redesign can fix all three and I rebuild sites carefully so the rankings and links you have built up over the years come with you.
If two or more of these sound familiar it is probably time
Websites age faster than most people expect. A site that looked great five or six years ago can now feel clunky on a phone, load slowly and be built on software that no longer gets security updates. Here are the signs I look for when someone in Bundaberg asks me to take a look at their existing site.
The part of a redesign most people never think about
If your current site has been around a while it probably ranks for some searches already. Throwing it away and starting fresh without a plan can wipe that out overnight. I have seen it happen to plenty of businesses who went with the cheapest rebuild they could find.
Every website redesign Bundaberg clients get from me starts the same way. Before I touch anything I crawl your existing site and list every page that gets traffic or has links pointing to it. Where a page address changes on the new site I set up a 301 redirect so visitors and Google land in the right place. Page titles and content that perform well are kept and improved rather than deleted.
After launch I watch Google Search Console for errors and fix anything that slips through. This careful approach is the difference between a redesign that lifts your enquiries and one that quietly sinks them. If SEO is a big part of why you are rebuilding, have a read of web design and SEO.
Better looks are only one part of it
Rebuilt from the ground up for phones, with big buttons, readable text and a phone number you can tap to call.
Modern hosting, compressed images and leaner code so pages load quickly even on patchy rural mobile coverage.
Clearer copy that says what you do, where you do it and why someone should call you instead of the next business.
WordPress and Elementor replace old hard to use systems, so you can make your own changes again.
You can bring your content with you
A lot of redesign work I do is moving businesses off website builders like Wix, Squarespace or old hosted systems from a previous web company. These platforms are fine for some people, but they lock you in and limit what you can do with SEO. If you stop paying, the site disappears.
I move your words, photos and blog posts across to WordPress, set up redirects from the old addresses and point your domain to proper Australian hosting. If your email is tied up with the old provider I sort that out too so nothing gets lost in the move.
I compared the main platforms in WordPress vs Wix vs Squarespace for Bundaberg businesses if you want to weigh it up first.
Careful steps so nothing gets lost
1
I look at what you have now, what Google sees and what is working. You get an honest view of what to keep and what to drop.
2
I map old pages to new ones, plan any redirects and agree on the look and content with you before building.
3
The new site is built behind the scenes while your old one keeps running. You review it and request changes.
4
I launch the new site, test every redirect and form, then keep an eye on Search Console for the following weeks.
The same clear packages as a new site
A redesign is priced on the same packages as a new build. A single page site is $880, a complete multi page site is $2200 and shops or booking sites start at $3300. All prices include GST and come with a free first year of WordPress maintenance.
If your old site has a large blog or hundreds of pages to move, I will quote the extra work up front. You will know the full price before anything starts. See all the options on the website design packages page.

A website redesign in Bundaberg should not hurt your Google rankings when it is planned properly. Before building I list every page that gets traffic or links, then set up 301 redirects so visitors and Google land on the matching new page. After launch I watch Search Console for errors and fix anything that slips through.
Website Design Bundaberg handles website redesigns for local businesses, with Nick doing every rebuild himself. Nick has been building websites since 1995 and moves sites from old systems, Wix and Squarespace onto WordPress. Redesigns use the same packages as new builds, starting at $880 including GST with a free year of maintenance.
A website redesign in Bundaberg costs the same as a new build with Website Design Bundaberg. A single page site is $880, a complete multi page site is $2200 and shops or booking sites start at $3300, all including GST. Sites with large blogs or hundreds of pages to move get the extra work quoted up front.
Your old website stays live the whole time a redesign is being built. The new site is built on a private preview link that only you and I can see. On launch day the new site replaces the old one and I test every redirect and form straight away, so customers in Bundaberg never see a broken page.
A lost login is common for Bundaberg businesses whose previous web person has moved on. It is usually fixable too. I can often rebuild from what is visible on the live site and help you regain control of your domain. If the site sits on hosting you pay for, access can normally be recovered through the hosting account.
Fixing an old website can be cheaper than a redesign if the site is on WordPress and mostly sound. In that case website updates might be all you need. If it is old, slow and hard to edit, a rebuild usually works out better value. I will tell you honestly which makes more sense.
Send me your website address and I will tell you what I would keep, what I would change and roughly what it would cost.
