Signs it's time for a redesign
Most owners don't need a new site for its own sake. They need one when the current site gets in the way of a customer calling or asking for a quote. Common signs:
- It's hard to use on a phone. Text is tiny, buttons are hard to tap, or the phone number isn't easy to find.
- It's slow. Heavy page builders, huge images and old plugins make people wait.
- The details are wrong. Old hours, services you no longer offer, or a number that no longer rings.
- You can't change it. The person who built it is gone, or every edit is a struggle.
- The form doesn't arrive. Quote requests go nowhere, and nobody noticed. See contact form not sending.
- Browsers show a security warning. An expired or missing SSL certificate puts people off.
If only one or two small things are wrong, you may not need a redesign at all. Website Maintenance or a small quoted fix might be enough.
What a MendRev redesign covers
| Area | What we do |
|---|---|
| Structure | Rebuild the pages around what customers need first: who you are, what you do, where you work, and how to reach you. |
| Phones first | Designed for small screens first, with big tap targets, readable text and a call button that's always in reach. |
| Lead capture | Click-to-call, tap-to-email and a quote form that delivers to your inbox, tested every month on monthly plans. |
| Search basics | Page titles, descriptions, structured data with your verified details, a sitemap, and Search Console set up in your account. |
| Speed and security | Lightweight code, SSL included and no bloated page builders. |
| True facts only | No made-up reviews, licences, awards or service areas. If we can't verify it, it doesn't go on your site. |
| Ongoing care | Hosting, uptime monitoring, renewal reminders and monthly edits on monthly plans. |
Keeping what already works in search
A redesign can lose search traffic when old pages disappear without redirects. We plan for that before anything changes:
- List what exists. Every current URL, plus the pages that already get visits from Google if you have Search Console.
- Decide what to keep, merge or retire. Accurate pages that work stay. Duplicates are combined. Thin pages are improved or dropped.
- Redirect every changed URL to the most relevant new page, not everything to the homepage.
- Launch and check. Forms, phone links, redirects and the sitemap are tested, then Search Console is checked after launch.
Our guide redesigning without losing search visibility explains each step. Honest note: no one can promise rankings after a redesign. We can promise the redirects, titles, sitemap and Search Console setup are handled.

How it works
- Free concept preview. We build a private concept of your new site from public information, clearly marked as a preview. Anything we can't verify is left as a labelled box for you to fill.
- You choose a plan. Pay online or by invoice, then send the short content checklist.
- We build and launch. Starter goes live within 7 business days and Pro within 10, after your content and setup payment. You approve before launch.
- We keep it working. Hosting, monitoring, monthly form tests and edits are part of the monthly plan.
What we need from you
- Access to your domain, or the name of the company it's registered with. It should be in your name. See who owns your domain.
- Your services, hours, service area and contact details.
- Licences, photos and real reviews you own and are allowed to use.
- Anything on the current site that must keep working, such as a booking link or a form.
The website content checklist lists everything in one place.
Questions
Will a redesign hurt my Google rankings?
It can if old pages vanish without redirects. We list your current URLs, redirect every changed one to the most relevant new page, and check Search Console after launch. Some movement while Google processes changes is normal, and no one can guarantee rankings.
Do I keep my domain?
Yes. You own your domain, content and customer data under the published terms. We work with the domain you already have, so the address customers know stays the same.
My site is on a website builder. Can you redesign it?
We rebuild sites in lightweight code rather than re-theming a page builder, and move your useful content across. If you need to stay on a specific builder, tell us and we'll say plainly whether we're a good fit.
How long does a redesign take?
Starter goes live within 7 business days and Pro within 10, after we have your content and the setup payment. You approve the site before it launches.
What if I only need a few fixes?
Then a full redesign may not be worth it. Website Maintenance is $249/month for an existing site and includes up to 60 minutes of edits a month. Other work outside a plan is $125/hour, quoted in writing first.
Do you guarantee more leads?
No. We agree deliverables, tests and responsibilities, not business outcomes. We make it easy to call or ask for a quote, and we test that it works.
