# Website Redesign in Mansfield > The most expensive mistake in a redesign is launching a beautiful new site that ranks worse than the old ugly one. It happens constantly, and it is entirely avoidable. **Provider:** Web Design Mansfield (a dijitul company) **Location:** The Bungalow, 11 St John Street, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire NG18 1QJ **Phone:** 01623 272050 **Email:** info@web-design-mansfield.co.uk **Price:** From £195, excluding VAT **Canonical URL:** https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/website-redesign/ --- If your site was built more than four or five years ago there is a good chance it is slow on mobile, awkward to edit, and structured in a way that made sense to whoever built it rather than to the people using it. That is worth fixing. What is not worth doing is starting from a blank page and quietly deleting fifteen years of accumulated search authority in the process. Every URL you drop without a redirect is a page that used to send you customers and now sends them to a 404. We treat a redesign as two jobs that happen to run at the same time: making it better for humans, and not breaking what already works for search engines. ## What you get ### A full audit before anything is decided We pull every URL on your current site, check which ones actually get traffic and rankings, and work out what has to be preserved. You would be amazed how often the best-performing page is one nobody remembered existed. ### A complete redirect map Every old URL points somewhere sensible on the new site. Not all to the homepage — that is the lazy version and Google treats it as a soft 404. Page to equivalent page. ### Content kept, improved or retired on purpose Three buckets, decided deliberately rather than by accident. Good content gets carried across and sharpened. Thin content gets merged. Dead content gets retired with a redirect. ### Performance rebuilt from the ground up Most redesigns we take on double or triple the mobile speed score, mostly by removing page-builder bloat, oversized images and tracking scripts nobody remembers adding. ### Post-launch monitoring We watch Search Console for four weeks after launch and fix anything that moves the wrong way. Rankings wobble briefly after any redesign; we make sure they come back. ## Signs it is genuinely time to redesign Not every dated site needs replacing. These are the ones that do: - It is not usable on a phone, or it technically works but is painful - It takes more than three seconds to become usable on mobile data - You cannot edit it yourself without ringing someone - It runs on a platform that is no longer supported or is a security risk - It does not reflect what you actually sell any more - Your competitors’ sites make yours look like the cheaper option when you are not ## Signs you do not need one yet If your site loads quickly, converts reasonably and is editable, a redesign may be the wrong purchase. Often the better spend is on visibility, content, or fixing the three pages that actually matter. We will tell you if that is the case, even though it is a smaller invoice for us. ## What affects the price Starting price: From £195 (excluding VAT). - How many existing pages need migrating and redirecting - Whether the current platform can be kept or has to be replaced - How much of the existing copy is worth keeping - Whether the content structure needs reorganising from scratch ## Local context — Mansfield We see the same pattern across Mansfield and Ashfield: a site built around 2015 by someone who has since moved on, no access to the hosting account, no idea who owns the domain, and a login that stopped working two years ago. Untangling that is genuinely part of the job and we do it regularly. If you have lost access to your own domain or hosting, bring us the mess. We have recovered domains from lapsed registrars, dormant agencies and, on one memorable occasion, a former employee’s personal email account. ## Also known as website refresh Mansfield, website rebuild Mansfield, update my website Mansfield, modernise website Mansfield, website makeover Mansfield, revamp website Mansfield. ## Frequently asked questions ### Will I lose my Google rankings in a redesign? Not if it is done properly. A correctly executed redesign with a full redirect map usually sees a small dip for two to three weeks then a recovery, often to better than before because the new site is faster. Rankings are lost when redirects are skipped, which is the single most common corner cut. ### Can you keep my current design but make it faster? Frequently, yes — and it is much cheaper than a redesign. If you like how it looks, we can often keep the look and rebuild the underpinnings. ### I have lost access to my website. Can you help? Usually. We can identify who hosts it, who the domain is registered to, and what the recovery route looks like. Bring us whatever you have, even if it is just an old invoice. ### How long does a redesign take? Typically three to five weeks — often slightly faster than a new build, because the content already exists in some form. ## Related services - [Web Design in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/web-design/): Websites that load fast, rank well and turn visitors into enquiries. - [Website Speed Optimisation in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/website-speed-optimisation/): Diagnose why it is slow, fix the actual cause, prove the difference. - [WordPress Web Design in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/wordpress-web-design/): WordPress built the way it should be — light, secure and genuinely editable. - [Technical SEO in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/technical-seo/): The unglamorous foundations that decide whether any other SEO work can pay off. - [Website Maintenance in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/website-maintenance/): Updates, backups, monitoring and a real person to ring when something breaks. - [Landing Page Design in Mansfield](https://web-design-mansfield.co.uk/services/landing-page-design/): One page, one goal, no distractions — built for campaigns that have to pay for themselves. --- Web Design Mansfield — Mansfield’s digital agency — websites, SEO and marketing that bring in work.
