Common use cases for website redesign.
The Embarrassing Site
It looked fine in 2018. Now you apologise for it in meetings.
Broken on Mobile
Most of your visitors are on phones, and bouncing.
Nobody Can Update It
The person who built it is gone and every change needs a favour.
Rebrand Rollout
New identity, old website, the mismatch undermines both.
Redesign cost, and redesign versus rebuild
The two questions that come up on almost every website redesign enquiry we take in Glasgow, answered before you ask us for a quote.
What a website redesign costs
A website redesign in Glasgow starts at £1,500 for a five-page rebuild. Most small business redesigns land under £5,000. Multi-page rebuilds with a content management system and full content migration sit between £5,000 and £15,000, and e-commerce replatforms go above that. We fix the number in writing after the site review rather than quoting off a phone call, and content migration, redirects and handover training sit inside that price rather than arriving as extras later.
Redesign, revamp, or rebuild
A website revamp changes how the site looks and reads while keeping the platform underneath. A rebuild replaces that platform as well. If your content is sound and only the design has aged, a revamp is usually enough and it is the cheaper route. If the site is slow, awkward to edit, or propped up by plugins nobody wants to touch, a rebuild is the better long-term option. We say which one we think your site needs at the review stage, and we are happy to tell you a revamp will do.
Not sure a redesign is the right job
If you are starting from nothing rather than revamping, our web design service covers new business websites from £1,500. If the hard part is functionality rather than appearance, things like bookings, integrations or a customer area, that is web development. Finished projects across both sit in the portfolio.
Two redesigns you can look at
The Thai in Shawlands had a WordPress site whose menu was a PDF. We rebuilt thethai.uk with the menu as 42 crawlable dishes, moved 28 blog posts across behind 25 redirect rules, and took the navy and gold of the printed menu onto the web. For Guppi Bola we replaced a five-year-old WordPress install with a statically generated build on the original domain, cut over with no downtime, with body text brought up to WCAG 2.2 AA. Both are live, and both kept their URLs.
The sites we redesign most often
Most of the redesigns that come through the studio fall into a few groups. Clinics and health practices with a template site that cannot take a booking or a new patient form. Trades whose site is little more than a phone number and a gallery from 2019. Bars, restaurants and cafés with the menu stuck in a PDF, which is exactly where The Thai started. Events and venue businesses that need dates, tickets and enquiries in one place. And professional services firms, the accountants, solicitors and consultants around the Merchant City and the West End, with a WordPress site nobody in the office dares to update. The fix is different for each, but the starting point is the same: a site review, and a fixed written quote before anything is touched.
How we keep your Google rankings
Losing rankings after a redesign is nearly always a migration problem, not a design one. Before we start we export every URL Google has indexed, note which pages bring in enquiries, and keep their titles and content structure. At launch every old address is redirected one-to-one to its new page, the sitemap is resubmitted in Google Search Console and we stay on call for 30 days after launch. The Thai moved 28 blog posts behind 25 redirect rules and kept its URLs; Guppi Bola cut over on the original domain with no downtime.
Bookings, portals and web apps in the same job
A redesign is often the moment a business admits the real problem is the work behind the site: bookings taken by phone, quotes typed up by hand, clients chasing progress by email. We can build that into the new site rather than bolting on another subscription. A single-purpose web app such as online booking or a quote tool starts at £8,000, and a multi-user web app with accounts, roles and payments starts at £10,000. It is quoted as a fixed price alongside the redesign, you get a progress update every week, and you see a working version in days, not months.
Where the work happens
Our studio is Unit 204b, 36-38 Washington Street, Glasgow G3 8AZ, in Finnieston and a few minutes from the SEC. The site review can happen there, at your premises anywhere from the Merchant City to Shawlands, or over a video call. Lanarkshire clients can meet at our Hamilton base by appointment. Phone 0141 345 5841 and ask for a site review.

Website Redesign, common questions
Straight answers about our website redesign service.
How much does a website redesign cost in Glasgow?
A website redesign starts at £1,500 for a five-page rebuild. Most Glasgow small business redesigns land under £5,000, multi-page rebuilds with a CMS and full content migration sit between £5,000 and £15,000, and e-commerce replatforms go above that. You get a fixed written quote after the site review, so the cost is agreed before any work starts. Content migration, redirects and training are inside the price, and the first year of hosting is free.
What is the difference between a website revamp and a full rebuild?
A revamp keeps your existing site and platform and changes how it looks and reads, so it is quicker and cheaper. A rebuild replaces the platform underneath as well. If your content is sound and only the design has aged, a revamp is usually enough. If the site is slow, awkward to edit, or propped up by plugins nobody wants to touch, a rebuild is the better long-term option. We tell you which one your site needs at the review stage, before you commit to anything.
Can you redesign our site without losing Google rankings?
Yes, and this is the part most redesigns get wrong. Before we change anything we record every URL that ranks and every page that brings in enquiries. At launch each old URL is redirected one-to-one to its new equivalent, page titles and content structure are kept, and the new site is submitted to Google Search Console at launch. For The Thai in Shawlands we moved 28 blog posts across behind 25 redirect rules; Guppi Bola cut over on the same domain with no downtime. Rankings are preserved, not rebuilt.
Can you move our existing content across?
Yes, content migration is included. We move your pages, images, and blog posts to the new site, tidying structure and formatting as we go. You review everything before launch.
How long does a website redesign take?
A typical small business redesign takes 4 to 8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger sites with e-commerce or lots of content take longer, and we give you a fixed timeline after the site review. You get a progress update every week and a live test link throughout, so nothing arrives as a surprise on launch day.
Will we be able to update the new site ourselves?
Yes, that is usually one of the main reasons people redesign. We set up a content management system your team can use, and include training in the handover. No more waiting on a developer to fix a typo.
Can you add online bookings or a customer area while you redesign?
Yes. Plenty of redesigns start as "the site looks dated" and turn out to be "we take bookings by phone and keep clients in a spreadsheet". We can build that into the new site: online bookings, a customer login area, quote forms that feed a dashboard, or a tool your staff work in. A single-purpose web app starts at £8,000 and a multi-user web app with accounts, roles and payments starts at £10,000, quoted as a fixed price alongside the redesign. You see a working version in days, not months.
Who owns the code and the domain?
You do. The domain, the content and the code are in your name once the project is paid for, and if the old site was registered by a previous developer we help you get the domain back into your own account as part of the move. Nothing is rented back to you, and you are free to take the site to another developer.
Where are you based?
Unit 204b, 36-38 Washington Street, Glasgow G3 8AZ, in Finnieston, minutes from the SEC. Phone 0141 345 5841. We redesign sites for businesses across Glasgow, from the Merchant City and the West End to Shawlands, and across Lanarkshire from our Hamilton base by appointment. The site review can happen at the studio, at your premises or over a video call.
Can we book a January start?
Yes. January 2027 redesign slots are booked in December. A 20% deposit paid in December secures a January slot, and the redesign runs January to February 2027. The studio reopens on Tuesday 5 January 2027.
What does the design process look like?
We start with a brief to understand your goals, then move through research, wireframes or concepts, design, revisions, and final delivery. You have input at every stage.
How many revisions are included?
All projects include two rounds of revisions as standard. Additional rounds can be arranged if needed.
What file formats do you deliver?
We deliver source files in their native format (e.g. Figma, PSD, AI) plus production-ready exports such as PDF, PNG, SVG, or deployed code depending on the project.
How should I brief you on my project?
Use our contact form or email us with a summary of what you need, your target audience, any brand guidelines, and your timeline. We will follow up with any questions.
