Website Redesign Planning Guide

A planning guide for redesigning a marketing site without losing technical equity, message clarity, or conversion focus.

Talk through this with me More resources

Best for

Best for companies whose site no longer reflects their current offer, growth goals, or level of work.

Key takeaway: The best redesigns improve perception, technical clarity, and lead flow all at the same time.

Section 1

Do not redesign before clarifying what the site must do

A redesign is not just a visual project. It is a chance to realign messaging, structure, conversion flows, and technical foundations.

Define what pages need to sell, rank, and support trust
List the top business goals the site must serve
Clarify what the current site is failing to communicate

Section 2

Protect what already has equity

Strong pages, backlinks, and rankings can be lost in a redesign if migration is treated casually.

Audit existing URLs and metadata before changes
Plan redirects carefully
Preserve proven content where it still serves the business

Section 3

Rebuild the architecture with future growth in mind

A site should make expansion easier, especially when services, locations, case studies, and resources need room to grow.

Create clean page silos
Plan internal linking intentionally
Use reusable systems instead of one-off page logic

Section 4

Make conversion a design requirement

A redesign that looks better but converts worse is not a win.

Map CTA logic before launch
Keep trust cues visible on money pages
Review mobile behavior like a buyer, not a designer

These services tend to pair well with the ideas on this page.

Design

The design work is built to carry authority, clarity, and personality so people remember the brand and understand what to do next.

Development

A good marketing site should load fast, scale cleanly, and give campaigns a stable technical base instead of creating constant drag.

Site Health

If search engines cannot trust, understand, or efficiently crawl the site, the rest of the SEO effort gets slower and more expensive.
