A focused fix-up or redesign for small business websites that are slow, dated, or quietly losing customers. For owners who already have a site but know it's not pulling its weight — pages take too long to load, Google rankings have slipped, the design looks like 2014, or the contact form barely gets used. The outcome is concrete: a faster, cleaner site that ranks better and turns more visitors into calls, quotes, or sales — usually live within 2 to 4 weeks.
What's included
- Full speed audit and fixes — image compression, code cleanup, caching, and hosting tuning to hit green Core Web Vitals scores
- On-page SEO overhaul — title tags, meta descriptions, headings, alt text, schema markup, and internal linking
- Mobile-first redesign of key pages (home, services, contact, about) using your existing brand or a refreshed look
- Conversion improvements — clearer calls-to-action, simpler contact forms, trust signals, and click-to-call on mobile
- Technical SEO cleanup — sitemap, robots.txt, broken links, redirects, and Google Search Console setup
- Google Analytics 4 and conversion tracking so you can see what's actually working
- One round of revisions plus a walkthrough video showing you how to edit content yourself
- 30 days of post-launch support for questions, small tweaks, and bug fixes
How it works
- Free 30-minute call to look at your current site, talk about your customers, and agree on what success looks like
- Audit and fixed-price proposal within 3 business days — no surprises, no scope creep
- We build or rebuild on a staging site you can review, with weekly check-ins
- Launch day: we handle the technical migration, redirects, and search engine resubmission
- 30-day support window plus a recorded training so you're not stuck calling a developer for every edit
Who it's for (and who it's not)
This is for small business owners — trades, professional services, local retail, restaurants, clinics — who already have a website that's underperforming and need it fixed without hiring an agency. You should have a real business with real customers, even if revenue is modest. A working email and the willingness to give honest feedback are required.
It's not for you if you need a complex web app, a custom booking system with deep integrations, or an enterprise e-commerce build with thousands of products. It's also not the right fit if you want endless design rounds, can't make decisions, or expect a $500 site to compete with a $50,000 one. We'd rather tell you that upfront than waste your money.
What it costs
Targeted fix-ups (speed, SEO, conversion tweaks on your existing site) run $500 to $2,000 and take 1 to 2 weeks. Full redesigns on WordPress or a modern static stack run $3,000 to $10,000+ depending on page count and complexity, with a typical timeline of 2 to 4 weeks. Shopify rebuilds for small product catalogs run $4,000 to $10,000. Every project is fixed-price after the audit — you'll know the total before we start, and we don't bill hourly surprises.
If your website is slow, dated, or not bringing in business, we fix it in 2-4 weeks at a fixed price — and teach you how to keep it running yourself.
Questions about this service
How long does a small business website redesign actually take?
Most fix-ups are done in 1 to 2 weeks. Full redesigns take 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on how many pages you have and how fast you can review drafts. We schedule weekly check-ins so nothing stalls, and we tell you upfront which decisions we need from you and when. If you respond quickly to drafts, we finish quickly.
Will I lose my Google rankings during the redesign?
No — protecting your search rankings is a core part of the job. We map every existing URL to its new location, set up 301 redirects, preserve your title tags and key content, and resubmit your sitemap to Google after launch. Most clients see rankings hold steady or improve within 4 to 8 weeks, because the new site loads faster and has cleaner on-page SEO than the old one.
Can you just fix what's broken instead of doing a full redesign?
Yes, and often we recommend it. If your site looks fine but loads slowly or doesn't rank, a targeted fix-up at $500 to $2,000 makes more sense than a rebuild. We'll tell you honestly after the audit. A redesign only makes sense when the underlying structure is genuinely outdated or the design is actively costing you customers — not just because it's a few years old.
What platform will you build it on?
It depends on what you need. For most small business sites we use WordPress (easy for you to edit) or a modern static stack like Astro or Next.js (faster, more secure, lower hosting costs). For online stores we use Shopify. We pick based on your budget, technical comfort, and what you'll actually need to update — not based on what's trendy or what locks you into our agency.
Do I have to switch hosting providers?
Not necessarily, but often it's worth it. If you're on slow shared hosting (the $5/month kind), moving to a better host is one of the cheapest speed wins available — usually $15 to $30/month and a noticeable improvement in load time. We handle the migration as part of the project. If your current host is already solid, we'll leave it alone and save you the hassle.
What happens after the 30-day support window ends?
You own everything — the site, the code, the hosting account, the domain. You're not locked in. Most clients handle small edits themselves using the training video we provide. For bigger changes or ongoing help, we offer a simple monthly maintenance plan ($75 to $200/month) or just hourly work as needed. No contracts, no minimums, no surprise renewal fees.
