Before and after
Nobody rebuilds a site that was working. Every page on the left was signed off, paid for and live for years. None of them belonged to a business that was bad at its work. They lost people at the one job a website has, which is making a stranger understand you before they stop caring. Below are 14 rebuilds, no two from the same trade, each one still carrying the page it replaced, full length and uncropped.
A website redesign before and after shows what changed on the page. What it cannot show is why. A new site on its own is not a growth plan, so before we redraw anything we study the business, its market, its competitors and what its customers search for. Then we decide what the new site has to do.
Three ways to read each one
Every rebuild
Click any one and it opens full size with both pages locked together, so whatever you are reading on the rebuild, the original is at the same depth beside it.

Insights
We write up the problems we had to solve for a client: how answer engines change what a page has to say, and why a redesign that ignores search can cost a year of ranking. Working notes, not filler.

What people ask before they trust a before and after, and before they commission one of their own.
14 real client websites, each shown as it was before we rebuilt it and as it was when we handed it over. Both are captured at full height and left uncropped, so you can judge the whole page rather than a flattering slice of it.
Because most problems are not visual. When the structure, the words and the route to an enquiry are wrong, new colours leave them wrong. A rebuild starts with research into the market and the buyers, then fixes the structure before the look.
Usually the structure, the words and the route to an enquiry: which pages exist, what each one is for, how fast it loads and what a visitor is asked to do next. The captures show the look; the bigger changes are in how each page is organised.
Every old address gets a decision before launch: kept, merged, or redirected to its closest new page, so visitors and search engines are never sent to a dead end. The method is set out in full in our article on SEO for a website redesign.
They show each site as we delivered it. Clients own and run their sites after handover, so some have changed since, which is how it should be when a handover works.
Yes, if a rebuild is what the business needs. It starts with a strategy discussion about your market, your competitors and what your customers search for, and we will say so if a smaller fix would do the job.
