The short answer
A website redesign in the UK usually costs between about £1,500 and £8,000. A refresh of the look on an existing site sits at the lower end. A full redesign with new structure, new features and fresh content sits higher. Large or custom sites cost more again.
The range is wide because redesign means different things. Sometimes it is a new coat of paint. Sometimes it is rebuilding the whole thing while keeping the brand. The price tracks how much actually changes under the surface.
What drives the cost
The size of the site is the first factor. More pages mean more design and more work. Then comes how custom the new design is, whether you are adding features like booking or a shop, and whether your content needs rewriting or moving across.
Protecting your search rankings during the move is real work too, and it is worth paying for. A redesign that ignores it can quietly undo years of progress on Google.
Redesign or rebuild?
A redesign keeps the underlying site and changes how it looks and flows. A rebuild starts fresh. If your current site is slow, hard to update or built on something dated, a rebuild often costs about the same and leaves you far better off.
We will tell you honestly which one your site needs. Sometimes the kinder answer to your budget is a rebuild, not a patch.
Protecting your SEO through a redesign
This is the part that is easy to get wrong. If pages move or disappear without proper redirects, you can lose the rankings you have built. A careful redesign maps the old site to the new one, keeps the addresses that matter, and checks everything after launch.
Done well, a redesign should lift your search performance, not risk it. We treat this as part of the job, not an extra.
Signs you are due a redesign
If your site looks dated, is slow, is hard to use on a phone, or no longer matches what your business does, it is costing you enquiries. A redesign pays for itself when it turns more of your existing visitors into customers.
