Your Old Website Isn't Just Embarrassing — It's Costing You Specific, Measurable Revenue

A full redesign with Antrais Tech starts at $599 for our Business tier, which covers up to 10 pages and ships in about 21 business days. A simpler Starter refresh runs $299. Pricing is fixed and quoted upfront, so the number you approve is the number you pay, even if a build runs long on our end. Most small-business redesigns land in the $599 range because ten pages comfortably covers a home page, services, about, contact, and a handful of supporting pages. If you have a hard deadline, rush delivery is available. Before any money changes hands, we show you a design mockup, so you see exactly what you are buying. Founded in 2017, we have built 200+ sites this way, with 305 verified Google reviews averaging 4.9 stars.

This is the fear that keeps most owners on a tired site, and it is a fair one, because a careless redesign genuinely can tank rankings. The damage almost always comes from broken URLs: pages move, Google cannot find them, and the authority those pages earned evaporates. We prevent that with proper 301 redirects, which tell Google the old address permanently lives at the new one and pass the existing ranking signal forward. We map every existing URL before launch and test each redirect after. In 200+ sites since 2017, we have never lost a client's rankings in a redesign. Often a redesign improves rankings, because a faster, mobile-clean site passes Core Web Vitals that an older build was quietly failing.

A 301 is a permanent redirect, a small instruction on your server that says this page has moved here for good. When Google follows it, the ranking strength the old page built up transfers to the new address instead of being lost. Without redirects, every old link a customer or another website saved suddenly lands on an error page, and Google slowly drops those dead pages from search. Before we launch, we crawl your current site, list every URL, and map each one to its new home. We test the redirects on staging and again after go-live. This unglamorous step is the single biggest reason a redesign keeps its Google visibility, and it is standard on every redesign we do, not an upsell.

No. Your current site stays live and serving customers the entire time we build. We do all the work on a separate staging environment, a private copy of the new site only you and our team can see. You review it, request changes, and approve it there. Only when you give the word do we point your domain at the new build, and that switch takes minutes, not days. We schedule the go-live for a low-traffic window and confirm everything loads before we call it done. There is zero planned downtime, which matters because a site that disappears for a weekend loses real bookings and inquiries. You should never have to choose between a better website and staying open for business.

A few signals point clearly to a redesign. First, your site is slow: if pages take more than a few seconds, visitors leave before they read anything, and our rebuilds target a 1.8 second average load. Second, it looks broken or cramped on a phone, where most of your traffic now comes from. Third, you have slipped in Google and cannot figure out why. Fourth, the design simply looks dated next to competitors, which quietly costs you trust. Fifth, it is a pain to update, so it never gets updated. A common hidden one: sites built before 2021 frequently fail Google's Core Web Vitals, a speed and stability scorecard that can suppress rankings without any obvious symptom. If two or more of these sound familiar, a redesign usually pays for itself.

Most redesigns take about 21 business days, roughly a month on the calendar, for our Business tier of up to 10 pages. A smaller Starter refresh moves faster. The timeline breaks into three stages: we design a mockup first and get your sign-off, then we build the approved design on staging, then we test, set up redirects, and launch. The biggest variable is usually you, not us: projects move fastest when content and feedback come back promptly, and stall when an approval sits for two weeks. If you are on a deadline, rush delivery is available for an added fee. We give you a real date upfront and keep you posted at each stage, so you are never wondering where things stand.

Absolutely, and we encourage it. A redesign does not have to mean throwing everything out. If your logo, brand colors, photography, or specific pages are working, we carry them straight into the new build. Plenty of clients come to us because the site is slow or invisible in Google, not because the look is wrong, so we keep what you love and fix what is broken underneath. During the mockup stage, you tell us exactly what stays, and you see it reflected before we build anything. The same goes for written content: copy that ranks well or reads the way you want is preserved, not rewritten for the sake of it. You own everything at the end, brand assets included.

Yes, and it is one of our most common requests. Builders like Wix and Squarespace are easy to start on, but they trap you on their monthly platform: you rent the site rather than own it, and you cannot move it elsewhere without a rebuild. We migrate you to WordPress, where you fully own the site and the files. We carry over your content, pages, images, and branding, then map every old URL to a 301 redirect so your Google rankings follow you across the move. Your current site stays live until the new one is approved, so there is no gap. The result is a faster, cleaner site you own outright, typically loading around 1.8 seconds, with no recurring platform fee holding you hostage.

Yes, and migrating within WordPress is usually the smoothest path of all, because your content, structure, and URLs already live in a format we work with daily. We copy your existing site to staging, rebuild it on a modern, fast foundation, and bring your posts, pages, and media across intact. Old WordPress sites often carry years of plugin bloat and a theme built before speed mattered, which is frequently why they have grown slow or started slipping in Google. We strip that weight out and rebuild for Core Web Vitals, targeting a 1.8 second load. Your existing URLs are preserved or 301-redirected so rankings hold. You keep full ownership throughout, and your live site never goes dark while we work.

Yes, and speed is usually the most measurable win. We rebuild every redesign for Core Web Vitals, Google's scorecard for how fast and stable a page feels, and target an average load of 1.8 seconds. Older sites are slow for predictable reasons: oversized images, bloated themes, and a stack of plugins each adding weight. We compress images, strip what is not needed, and build on a lean foundation. The payoff is twofold. Visitors stay, because most people abandon a page that takes more than a few seconds, and Google rewards the speed with better rankings. A site built before 2021 is often quietly failing Core Web Vitals, which alone can suppress where you appear in search, so the speed fix frequently doubles as an SEO fix.

Core Web Vitals are three measurements Google uses to judge how a page actually feels to a real visitor: how fast the main content loads, how quickly the page responds when you tap or click, and whether things jump around as it loads. Google factors these into rankings, so a poor score quietly holds you back even if your content is excellent. Sites built before 2021 frequently fail at least one, usually load speed, because they predate the standard. When we redesign, we build to pass all three, targeting a 1.8 second load. The honest part: passing Core Web Vitals will not vault you to number one by itself, but failing them is an anchor, and removing that anchor often lifts rankings that were being suppressed for purely technical reasons.

Yes, and we treat mobile as the priority, not an afterthought. The majority of visitors now arrive on a phone, and Google ranks your site based primarily on the mobile version, so a cramped or broken mobile layout hurts you twice. Every redesign we build is responsive, meaning it adapts cleanly to any screen, with tap targets sized for thumbs, text readable without pinching, and images that load fast on a cellular connection. We test on real phone sizes before launch, not just a desktop browser shrunk down. Older sites often look fine on a laptop and fall apart on a phone, which is one of the most common reasons inquiries dry up. You will see the mobile layout in the mockup stage and approve it before we build.

SEO preservation comes down to a handful of disciplined steps, and we do all of them on every redesign. We start by crawling your current site to capture every URL and its rankings, so nothing is missed. Each old URL gets mapped to a 301 redirect pointing at its new home, which passes ranking authority forward. We keep your page titles, headings, and content structure that are already earning traffic, rather than rewriting blindly. We carry over image alt text and internal links, and we rebuild for the speed and Core Web Vitals that Google rewards. After launch we submit the new sitemap and watch search performance. Across 200+ sites since 2017, this process means we have never lost a client's rankings in a redesign.

Yes, you keep your exact domain, and that is the normal case. Your domain, the web address people type, is yours and stays the same through the redesign, which actually helps protect your rankings since the address Google already trusts does not change. You do not need to buy a new one or transfer anything unless you want to. If your domain is registered somewhere we cannot easily reach for the go-live step, we will simply walk you through pointing it at the new site, a five-minute change you make from your registrar account. We never take ownership of your domain or hold it hostage. You own it before, during, and after the project, exactly as you should, along with the rest of the site.

No, your email is safe, and this is a worry worth addressing directly because people assume the website and email are one thing. They are separate services that happen to share your domain. Your email runs on its own mail records, and we leave those untouched when we point the domain at the new site. Addresses like you@yourbusiness.com keep working without interruption through the entire redesign and the go-live switch. Before we flip anything live, we confirm your existing mail settings are preserved so nothing drops. If you ever want help improving or moving your email separately, we can advise, but a redesign by itself never touches your inbox. You will not need to reconfigure anything or warn your customers about a new address.

Not necessarily. If your current host is fast and reliable, we can build your redesigned site to run right on it, and you keep everything as is. That said, hosting is often part of why an older site is slow, so if yours is underpowered we will tell you honestly and recommend a better option, with no obligation to take it. Either way, you own the site files and can host them wherever you like, because we build on WordPress, which runs almost anywhere. We are not locking you into our servers or a monthly platform fee. During planning we review your current host, share a straight assessment, and you decide. The goal is a site that loads around 1.8 seconds, and we will be upfront if your host is the bottleneck.

Less than most people expect. To begin, we need access to your current site, your domain or registrar login for the go-live step, and a sense of what is and is not working for you. It helps to share any branding you want kept, such as a logo and colors, plus a few example sites whose style you admire. Content is the part clients worry about: if you have copy and images ready, great, and if not, we can work from your existing site and guide you on what to gather. The single most valuable thing you give us is timely feedback at the mockup and review stages, since that is what keeps a 21 business day project on schedule. We handle the technical side, redirects, speed, and migration, so you do not have to.

It depends on what is actually broken, and we will give you a straight answer rather than upselling. A refresh suits a site whose foundation is sound but whose look is tired: we update colors, fonts, images, and layout while keeping the underlying structure, which is faster and cheaper, often at our $299 Starter level. A full rebuild makes sense when the problems are structural: the site is slow, fails Core Web Vitals, breaks on mobile, or is built on a platform that traps you, like a DIY builder. Those issues live under the hood and a cosmetic refresh will not fix them. During our first review we look at speed, mobile, and rankings, then tell you honestly which path your site needs. Most pre-2021 sites need the rebuild for speed reasons.

Payment is simple and split, so you are never paying for work you have not seen. You pay 50% to start, which kicks off the design mockup, and the remaining 50% when the site launches and you are happy with it. The price is fixed and quoted upfront, from $599 for a Business redesign, with no hourly meter running and no surprise add-ons. On Business projects we can break the balance into installments if that helps your cash flow, just ask. We accept cards, ACH bank transfer, PayPal, and Venmo, whichever is easiest for you. Because we show a mockup before building and you approve the final site before the last payment, your money is always tied to something you can actually see and sign off on.

Every redesign includes 30 days of post-launch support, no extra charge. Launch day is when small things surface, a tweak to wording, an image swap, a question about how to update a page, and we are there to handle them through that first month while you settle in. You own the site and all its files outright, so you are never locked out of your own business, and we will show you how to make routine updates yourself if you want to. If you would rather we keep maintaining it long term, with updates, backups, and security handled for you, we offer ongoing plans, but they are entirely optional. With 98% client retention across 200+ sites, most people stick around because the relationship works, not because they are trapped.

Then do not, and there is genuinely no pressure from us. A redesign is a real decision, and the worst reason to start one is because a salesperson pushed you. If you are unsure, keep your current site running and revisit when the timing and budget feel right; we are not going anywhere, having been at this since 2017. If it would help, we are happy to take a free look and tell you honestly whether your site actually needs work or is fine for now, even if the answer means no project for us. When you are ready, the price will be fixed and quoted upfront, you will see a mockup before committing, and you can reach us at (405) 874-7011, info@antraistech.com, or WhatsApp. No deposit, no obligation, no countdown clock.
