Website Redesign

Your site used to work. Now it's holding you back. We rebuild it on WordPress and bring your content and rankings with it.

When the website stops keeping up with the business

Most redesigns start the same way. The business has moved on and the website still describes the old one. Updates wait for a developer. Pages are slow on mobile. Enquiries arrive by referral, not through the site.

We start by finding out which of those is costing you. We audit what’s there (speed, structure, content, SEO and where enquiries come from), keep what works, including the pages that already rank, and rebuild the rest.

How we approach website redesigns

We don't just change colours and update the homepage. We rebuild the entire foundation.

This is for businesses that have outgrown their current website

Sound familiar?

  • The business has changed

    New services, new markets or a new brand, and the site still reflects the old one.

  • You send prospects a PDF instead

    The site no longer matches the calibre of the work.

  • Your team avoids updating it

    Every change needs a developer, or the editor is hard to use.

  • It's slow on mobile

    People leave before the page finishes loading.

  • Search traffic has dropped

    Pages that used to rank don't any more.

  • You've outgrown the platform

    <a href="/services/website-migration/">Wix, Squarespace</a> or an old page builder limits what you can add.

Our redesign process

You've probably paid for a website before and been disappointed. Our process is built so you see and approve each stage before the next one starts.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We learn how your business operates, who your customers are, what problems the website needs to solve. No assumptions, no guessing.

  2. 02

    Strategy & Planning

    Site structure, user flows, and key features are mapped and approved before any design work begins.

  3. 03

    Design

    Visual design focused on clarity and guiding visitors toward an enquiry. Two rounds of revisions on the homepage and two on the inner pages.

  4. 04

    Development

    Clean WordPress code built for performance, security, and flexibility. Your team can update it themselves.

  5. 05

    Testing

    Rigorous testing across devices, browsers, and user scenarios. Edge cases are caught before launch, not after.

  6. 06

    Launch & Training

    Supported launch, with your team trained to run the site. Care plans from $147 a month if you want us to keep looking after it.

Your new website includes

After a redesign with Chillybin, you'll have a website that works as hard as your business does.

  • Fast, secure WordPress website

    Built on modern standards, optimised for performance, and configured for security from the ground up.

  • Content management system your team can use

    Intuitive enough that updates don't require a developer. Your team uses it instead of avoiding it.

  • Structure that supports your goals

    Every page and section designed around what you need the website to do, not what looks good in a portfolio.

  • Analytics and tracking configured

    You can see what visitors do, which pages convert and where they come from.

  • SEO-friendly architecture

    Technical SEO built in from day one. Search engines can crawl it, index it, and rank it properly.

  • Care plans from $147 a month

    Updates, backups, security monitoring and <a href="/services/website-maintenance/">support after launch</a>.

What redesigns actually deliver

Named clients, dated figures.

  • 8 to 12 weeks Typical project timeline

    From kick-off to launch, depending on scope and feedback.

  • Since 2017 Still in production

    Expat Living has run on our rebuild since December 2017.

  • 2x Search impressions after relaunch

    Explore Performance, April to August 2026, Google Search Console.

Why WordPress for your redesign

WordPress powers over 40% of the web. We use it because it gives you control, flexibility, and a platform that grows with your business.

  • You own everything

    Your data, your content, your code. No vendor lock-in, no hidden platform fees, no restrictions on what you can build.

  • Flexible and scalable

    From simple blogs to complex applications with custom functionality, memberships, and integrations.

  • Supported globally

    Thousands of developers, designers, and service providers work with WordPress. You won't struggle to find help.

  • Long-term investment

    WordPress has been here for 20+ years. Your redesign investment won't become obsolete in 3 years.

Understanding website redesigns

Why websites fail after a few years

Websites aren’t set-and-forget projects. Technology changes, user expectations evolve, and businesses grow. A site built four years ago probably uses outdated frameworks, doesn’t perform on modern devices, and has accumulated technical debt.

The difference between redesign and refresh

A refresh changes the visual design while keeping the underlying code. A redesign rebuilds the entire foundation. Most struggling websites need a redesign, not a refresh.

Redesign as a business investment

Compare what a redesign costs with what the current site costs you each year. Count the enquiries that go elsewhere, the hours your team spends working around it and the fees for every small change. That total is usually the budget for the redesign.

The stack behind every rebuild

A redesign is a chance to fix the foundations, not just the paint. We audit what you have, rebuild on a stack we've refined over 17 years, and move everything across without losing the rankings and content you've already earned.

Audit & Discovery

  • Ahrefs (rankings, backlinks and content audit)
  • Google Analytics 4 (what visitors actually do)
  • Google Search Console (indexing and search performance)
  • PageSpeed Insights and Core Web Vitals

Build & Content

  • WordPress (custom theme by default, Beaver Builder when you want to edit layouts yourself)
  • Advanced Custom Fields Pro (structured, easy-to-edit content)
  • Tailwind CSS (lean, fast front end)
  • Gravity Forms (forms and lead workflows)

Migration & SEO Protection

  • Full URL mapping and 301 redirects
  • SEOPress (meta, schema and sitemaps)
  • Content migration and restructuring
  • Pre- and post-launch ranking checks

Performance & Security

  • Cloudflare (CDN and security)
  • Perfmatters and server-level caching (Nginx and Redis)
  • Optimised WordPress hosting
  • Image optimisation and modern formats
  • Ongoing updates on our maintenance plans

Questions about website redesigns

The answers to your questions. Get in touch if you can't find what you're looking for.

Typical projects run 8 to 12 weeks from discovery to launch. Timeline depends on project scope, how ready your content is, and how quickly feedback cycles move. Complex sites with lots of custom functionality take longer.
