Website redesign, revamp or rebuild?
A website redesign rebuilds the site you already have instead of starting from nothing. Your domain, your content and the search history attached to your old pages carry across to the new site.
Whether you call it a redesign, a revamp or a rebuild, the work is the same: a new design and a new build on the address your customers already know, with every old URL redirected to its new page.
If you have no site yet, or nothing worth keeping, our web design service for a new site is the better fit.

When is it time to redesign your website?
When it stops turning visitors into calls, not only when it looks dated.
- People find the site but don't call or fill in the form
- The design looks dated next to competitors who invested in theirs
- The site is slow or hard to use on a phone
- You can't update content without calling a developer
- The site runs on a platform you've outgrown, such as an old WordPress, Wix or Squarespace setup
- Your Google Business Profile sends visitors to a site that doesn't match your brand
- The site has no schema markup, so search engines and AI assistants can't read it clearly
- Accessibility problems are a legal risk
Not included
- Rewriting all of your content. Migration is included; full rewrites are scoped separately.
- Online stores and web apps. These are quoted as Untapped custom work.
- Social media management. It is an add-on, quoted in your bid.
- Google Business Profile management and monthly blog posts on Stand Up. Both are part of Growth.
- New pages or features after launch. These are quoted separately; minor copy updates are covered by the monthly change request.

What owners ask before committing to a redesign
How much does a small business website redesign cost?
Untap Web redesigns on a subscription starting at $249/mo ($199/mo on a 2-year term), with no setup fee and no upfront invoice. Stand Up covers a custom redesign of up to 8 content pages with hosting, SSL, schema and accessibility built in. Growth at $649/mo adds county location pages, a monthly blog post and Google Business Profile management. For comparison: agency-built small business websites typically start around $5,000 (FitSmallBusiness, 2025).
How long does a website redesign take?
Most redesigns relaunch in 3 to 6 weeks once we have everything we need from you (your content, logins and photos): audit, design, build, content migration and quality checks, then the relaunch with a full redirect map so your existing search rankings carry over. If your timeline runs longer, we work at your pace.
Do I keep my domain when I redesign?
Yes. Your domain is always yours. We handle the DNS cutover, the SSL certificate and the redirects as part of the relaunch, and your domain, content and brand assets stay yours before and after.
What happens to my old SEO when I redesign?
A redesign that skips the redirect map throws away the search history of your old pages. We map a 301 redirect for every URL on your old site before cutover, so Google passes that history to the new pages instead of finding errors. We also submit a fresh sitemap to Google Search Console at launch.
Do you migrate content from my current site?
Yes. Content migration is included in every redesign: your copy, images and structured content move to the new build. If copy needs rewriting for search, we flag it with recommendations; full rewrites are scoped separately.
Can you redesign a WordPress site to a modern stack?
Yes. We export your content, rebuild the site on Next.js, and apply a full redirect map so no search history is lost in the move.
