Hoop Interactive redesigns outdated, slow, or underperforming websites — with every old URL redirected and every ranking page migrated, so you launch a better site without starting your SEO over from zero.
Website redesign is the process of rebuilding an existing website's structure, design, and user experience to fix what's not working — slow load times, poor conversion, outdated visuals — without abandoning the SEO equity the site has already earned. A redesign audits the current site, decides what to keep and what to rebuild, then migrates everything with a tested redirect map.
Not every redesign is the same size of project. A visual refresh updates the look of an existing structure. A structural redesign reorganizes navigation and content alongside a new design. A full rebuild replaces both the design and the underlying platform. Knowing which one your site actually needs, before quoting a price, is the difference between a redesign that solves the problem and one that just looks different.
Three sizes of redesign project — and the situation each one is genuinely for.
| Redesign type | What it changes | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Visual refresh | New design applied to the existing structure and platform. | Sites with sound structure but an outdated look. |
| Structural redesign | New information architecture, content strategy, and design together. | Sites where users can't find what they need or conversion is weak. |
| Full rebuild | New design and a new platform or CMS underneath it. | Sites on outdated, unsupported, or limiting technology. |
Why rankings drop after a relaunch, and how to size the project honestly before quoting it.
Rankings drop after a redesign when URLs change without 301 redirects, when content gets rewritten in a way that loses the phrases it used to rank for, or when the new site launches slower than the old one. None of these are caused by redesigning — they're caused by skipping the migration planning that should happen before launch, not after rankings drop.
Choose a visual refresh if your site's structure works and only the look feels dated. Choose a structural redesign or full rebuild if users struggle to find information, your conversion rate lags, or your current platform can't support what the business needs next.
A redesign done right pays back through faster load times, better conversion, and a site that finally matches how your business operates today.
Load times and layout issues driving visitors away get fixed directly.
A clearer path from landing page to action, backed by real behaviour data.
Proper migration protects equity, and often improves it.
Brought up to modern responsive and WCAG standards.
Years of accumulated plugin bloat and workarounds cleared out.
The site reflects how you operate now, not three years ago.
We scope the engagement around your site's actual problem, not a fixed package.
A modern, fast, mobile-first redesign that reflects where your business is today.
Storefront redesigns focused on checkout conversion, product discovery, and page speed.
Marketing site and in-app UX redesigns for products that have outgrown their original design.
A coordinated visual identity and website redesign when both need to change together.
Moving from an outdated or limiting platform to WordPress, Webflow, or a custom build.
Bringing an existing site up to WCAG accessibility standards without a full rebuild.
Four situations send most marketing and ops leads to us for redesign work.
Visitors arrive, but the site isn't turning them into leads or customers at the rate it should.
Speed and performance scores drag down both user experience and search rankings.
Your product, positioning, or visual identity has moved on, and the website hasn't caught up.
Your team can't make simple edits without help, because the current build is too rigid or outdated.
These five mistakes account for most of the ranking drops and failed launches we get asked to fix.
Changed URLs with no redirect plan send both users and search engines to dead pages. We map every URL before development starts.
Decisions based on opinion instead of real user behavior data produce a site that looks better but performs the same. We start with your analytics, not a mood board.
A desktop-first design that gets squeezed onto mobile frustrates the majority of your visitors. We design mobile-first from wireframe stage.
Feedback that arrives after high-fidelity design is expensive to act on. We align goals and priorities in discovery, before pixels get drawn.
Retrofitting WCAG compliance late in a project costs more than designing for it from the start. We build accessibility in from wireframes onward.
Six stages, from first call to a launched, monitored site. We work in weekly sprints with a review every Friday.
We review your analytics, current site, and goals to find what is actually costing you conversions.
2–3 weeks · DiscoveryWe restructure navigation and content around what users actually search for and click.
1–2 weeks · ArchitectureWe design mobile-first, in weekly sprints with a review every Friday, tested with real users before development.
2–6 weeks · DesignWe build the new site and map every old URL to its new equivalent with 301 redirects.
3–12 weeks · DevelopmentWe test every redirect, form, and page on staging, and run a full Core Web Vitals check before launch.
1–2 weeks · QAWe monitor rankings, traffic, and technical issues for 30 to 90 days after launch, catching problems before they compound.
30–90 days · MonitoringThree factors drive the price: page count, whether the platform changes, and content migration volume.
Proven tools, chosen for clean migration and long-term maintainability.
Pick the model that fits your project and timeline. All four include weekly reviews and full file ownership.

ExploreThe questions marketing and ops leads ask us most before starting a redesign.
No, if the redesign maps every old URL to its new equivalent with 301 redirects and preserves your existing content and metadata. Rankings drop when a redesign changes URLs without redirects or strips out ranking content, not from the redesign itself.
Website redesign costs $5,000 to $150,000 or more, depending on scope. A visual refresh costs $5,000 to $15,000, a standard business redesign costs $15,000 to $45,000, and an enterprise or full rebuild costs $45,000 to $150,000 or more.
Website redesign takes 4 to 24 weeks or more. A visual refresh takes 4 to 6 weeks, a standard business redesign takes 8 to 14 weeks, and an enterprise or full rebuild takes 14 to 24 weeks or longer.
A redesign updates your website's structure, design, and user experience. A rebrand changes your visual identity, logo, and messaging, which often happens alongside a redesign but is a separate scope of work.
Yes. We audit every existing page, map old URLs to new ones with 301 redirects, and migrate content and metadata so search engines carry your rankings forward instead of starting over.
We build a full redirect map before launch, matching every old URL to its closest new equivalent, and test the map in staging so no page returns a broken link on launch day.
Both. We redesign in place on WordPress, Shopify, or your current CMS, or migrate to a new platform when your current one can't support what you need going forward.
Yes. We scope phased redesigns that update high-priority pages, such as the homepage or product pages, first, and roll out the rest in stages instead of one large launch.
Yes. We run usability testing on the new design before development finishes, so navigation and layout problems get caught while they're still cheap to fix.
Yes. You own 100% of the design files, code, and content, delivered in a documented handover with no agency lock-in.
Yes. We monitor rankings, traffic, and technical issues for the first 30 to 90 days after launch, and offer maintenance retainers for ongoing updates after that.
Yes. We sign an NDA before the discovery call, before you share any business or analytics data with us.
