Speed
Sub-second mobile loads instead of the 5-second crawl that sends visitors back to the search results.

Redesign · Rebuild
Keep the business. Rebuild the foundation.
Your site still runs. That is not the same as working for you. Keep what works, replace what is holding it back.
Measured before. Measured after.
A redesign is worth it when the current site is costing you: slow loads that lose mobile visitors, a template you cannot really change, a platform you pay monthly to rent, or a look that no longer matches the business.
I rebuild on a modern, custom-built stack. Not a new theme on the same tired platform, but a fast, secure, custom site that is yours to keep. And I measure it, so the improvement is on paper, not just a feeling.
What a rebuild fixes
Ownership
You own the code and content. No monthly platform rent, no lock-in.
Security
A strict content security policy and the full browser security header set, not just a bare lock icon in the address bar.
Search visibility
Clean metadata, structured data, and an internal-link structure search engines can actually read.
A current look
A custom design that matches the business you run today, built mobile-first.
Content migration
Your existing pages, photos, and copy carried over, cleaned up, and improved, not lost.
Most local sites are overdue
In my audit of 169 Coos County business sites, not one scored well on both speed and security. The best security grade in the whole county was a B. More than half were renting their site from a template platform, which is a large part of why. A rebuild on a custom stack is how you stop paying rent on your own site.
Run your current site through the free audit and we will see exactly what a rebuild would change.
What it costs, and why it is more than a new site
A rebuild starts at $2,500. Most land between there and $3,500, depending on how many pages have to move and whether there is a catalog or a booking system to repair.
A new site starts from nothing, which is simple. A rebuild starts from something that has to survive the move: the content inventory, the redirect map, the years of search value you already paid for. That is real work, and skipping it is how a redesign quietly costs a business its rankings.
Not every site needs one. Some need an afternoon of fixes. I will tell you which one you are before either of us talks about money.
Curious why it is custom code instead of WordPress or a builder? Here is the full reasoning, with the numbers.
Questions
Can you save my content, or do I start over?
I carry your existing pages, photos, and copy over, then clean them up. You keep what works; we fix what does not. Nothing of value gets thrown away.
How do I know a redesign is worth it?
Run the free audit. If your site is slow, insecure, hard to update, or stuck on a platform you pay to rent, a rebuild usually pays for itself in speed and search visibility. The audit shows you where you stand first.
How long does a rebuild take?
Most rebuilds land in the same windows as a new build: a few days to a couple of weeks depending on size. I work in days, not quarters.
Will my search rankings survive the move?
Yes, when it is done right. I keep your URLs stable or set proper redirects so existing rankings carry over, and the speed and structure gains usually help, not hurt.
