Website redesign,
done right.
If your website is slow, looks dated, is a chore to update, or keeps needing security patches, it's quietly costing you customers. We redesign it into a fast, hand-coded site — and then keep it that way — usually without changing your domain or losing the rankings you already have.
Signs it's time for a redesign
You don't need a reason as dramatic as "it's broken." Most redesigns start because the site is simply holding the business back:
- It's slow, especially on a phone — and visitors leave before it loads
- It looks dated next to your competitors, and it's costing you trust
- You can't update it without wrestling a WordPress login or waiting on someone else
- It breaks on mobile, where most of your customers actually are
- It keeps getting hacked or nagging you for plugin and theme updates
- It doesn't show up on Google for what you do and where you do it
What a Stonekept redesign changes
We rebuild your site from scratch as clean, hand-coded HTML and CSS served from Cloudflare's edge — so it goes from sluggish to near-instant, from a plugin-patching liability to almost nothing to hack, and from "who updates this?" to changes we handle for you on a care plan. Your content comes across and gets sharpened along the way, and the whole thing is fast and secure by default.
Moving off WordPress or a site builder
Most redesigns we do are takeovers from WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace. We migrate your content, map your old pages to the new ones so search engines follow along, and get you off the update-and-patch treadmill for good. Curious how the two stack up?

No downtime, and no lost rankings
We build the new site on a private preview link and only switch it live once you've approved it — so your current site keeps working the whole time. We put 301 redirects in place so every old URL points to its new home, which is how you keep the Google rankings and links you've already earned. You keep your domain and your email; we just point the domain at the faster site. Want a fresh build instead of a redesign? See web design and pricing.
What a redesign delivers
Dramatically faster
Rebuilt hand-coded and static on Cloudflare's edge — most takeovers get dramatically faster overnight.
Secure and low-maintenance
No database, admin login, or plugins to patch — and we handle every change on your care plan.
Rankings preserved
301 redirects map every old URL to its new home, so the search rankings you've earned carry over.
Good to
know.
Will a redesign hurt my Google rankings?
Not when it's done properly — it usually helps. We map every old URL to its new page with 301 redirects so the rankings and links you've built carry over, and because the new site is much faster, it tends to rank better, not worse.
Can you redesign my WordPress site?
Yes — that's one of the most common projects we take on. We rebuild it as a fast hand-coded site, migrate your content, set up redirects, and bring it onto a care plan. You get the speed and security and leave the plugin-patching behind. If your site genuinely needs WordPress, we'll tell you straight.
Do I have to change my domain or email?
No. You keep your domain and your business email exactly as they are — we simply point the domain at your new site when it's ready. Nothing about your address or inbox changes.
How much does a website redesign cost?
About the same as a new build — from $2,200 plus a $199/mo care plan, scaling with the size of the site. Try the website cost calculator for a range, or send us your current site for a fixed quote.
How long does a redesign take?
Most redesigns launch in a few weeks, depending on the size of the site and how quickly we get your content. You'll review the whole thing on a preview link before anything goes live.
