Website redesign cost is usually about the same as a new site of the same size: Rs 40,500 for a small site and Rs 85,500 for ten pages with us. Many sites only need fixes to speed, mobile layout, content or calls to action, which cost less and protect your existing Google rankings.
Key Takeaways
- Redesign when the platform is outdated, the site cannot be edited, or the brand has changed. Fix when the problems are speed, content or conversion.
- A redesign is priced like a new build because the design, development and testing work is similar.
- Keep your URLs where possible, or set up 301 redirects for every changed URL, to protect search rankings.
- Measure before and after: traffic, enquiries, speed and rankings for your main pages.
- Ask for a fix-first audit before paying for a full redesign.
Do You Need a Redesign or a Fix?
Business owners often ask for a redesign when what they really want is more enquiries. Use this table to decide which problem you have.
| Symptom | Usually needs |
|---|---|
| Site is slow on mobile | Fix: image compression, caching, removing heavy plugins |
| Looks dated but works | Refresh: new styling on the existing structure |
| Visitors but few enquiries | Fix: clearer offer, visible WhatsApp and call buttons, better forms |
| You cannot edit it, or the developer has disappeared | Rebuild on a platform you control |
| Built on an unsupported or pirated theme | Rebuild |
| Brand, services or market have changed | Redesign |
| Not mobile-friendly at all | Redesign |
Website Redesign Cost: What You Will Pay
A full redesign involves the same steps as a new site: planning, design, development, content migration and testing. It is therefore priced like a new build of the same size. Our prices:
| Scope | Typical price with us |
|---|---|
| Fix package (speed, mobile layout, calls to action) | Quoted after an audit; usually a fraction of a rebuild |
| Small site redesign, up to 5 pages | Rs 40,500 |
| Business site redesign, up to 10 pages | Rs 85,500 |
| Online store redesign or platform move | from Rs 157,500 |
Content migration can add cost when a site has many pages or blog posts to move. Ask for this to be listed separately in the quote.
How to Redesign Without Losing Google Rankings
A redesign is one of the most common causes of a sudden drop in search traffic. Google's own guidance on site moves explains why: when URLs change, search engines must learn the new locations, and any page without a redirect loses the value it built up. To protect your rankings:
- Crawl the old site and export every URL, title and meta description.
- Keep URLs the same wherever possible.
- Map every changed URL to its new address and set up 301 redirects.
- Keep the content that ranks. Rewrite carefully; do not delete pages that bring traffic.
- Carry over titles, headings and structured data on important pages.
- Test on a staging site before launch, including redirects and forms.
- Submit the new sitemap in Google Search Console and watch for errors for a few weeks.
Measure Before and After
Record these numbers for the month before the redesign so you can judge whether it worked:
- Organic clicks and impressions for your main pages in Google Search Console.
- Enquiries: WhatsApp clicks, calls and form submissions.
- Mobile speed (Largest Contentful Paint) on key pages.
- Rankings for your five to ten most important searches.
Our Redesign Process
- Audit: speed, mobile usability, content, conversions and SEO, with a written fix-or-redesign recommendation.
- Plan: sitemap, URL map, content to keep, rewrite or merge.
- Design and build on staging.
- Migrate content and set up redirects.
- Test on phones, forms, redirects and speed.
- Launch and monitor Search Console for at least four weeks.
Moving Platform During a Redesign
Redesigns are a natural time to leave an outdated or locked-in platform, for example a builder you cannot export from, or a custom system nobody can maintain. Moving to WordPress, Shopify or a well-documented custom stack gives you control. It also means extra work for content and URL migration, so plan it from the start. Our WordPress and Shopify price guides explain each platform's running costs.
Questions to Ask Before Paying for a Redesign
- What exactly is wrong with the current site, and can it be fixed instead?
- Will my URLs change, and how will redirects be handled?
- Who moves the content, and is it in the price?
- How will you measure success after launch?
- Will I own the new site, domain and hosting?
For overall budgets, see our website price guide; for keeping the new site healthy, read our maintenance guide.

How We Researched This Guide
Redesign steps follow Google Search Central's documentation on site moves and redirects, and the audits we run before every redesign. Prices are from our published price list. We do not quote market redesign ranges for Pakistan because published figures are rare and inconsistent.
