Can you redesign my website?

The short version

• Yes, E-3 builds new websites and redesigns, on WordPress or as a static build.
• You can start with a free check of your current site.
• You approve a plan, then try a working preview on your own phone and computer before launch.
• With website care or E-3 hosting, the site is looked after from launch day.
• E-3 designed and built the sites for Gorman Landscape Contractors near Dayton, Johnstown Christian School in Pennsylvania and Miami Valley Golf Club.
• Next step: see more E-3 projects, then start a project.

How does a redesign work?

Our websites and redesigns page has more detail.

1. A free check. You can start with the free website check of your current site.
2. A plan you approve. You approve the plan for the new site.
3. A working preview. Redesigns are tested on a staging copy first, and you approve the preview before launch. Try it on your phone. Tell us what to change.
4. Build and launch. E-3 builds the site and launches it once you approve. Old page addresses should point to the new ones at launch, so links and search results keep working.
5. Care, if you choose it. With website care or E-3 hosting, the site gets monitoring, tested updates and daily backups from launch day.

Why does this matter?

A redesign is a chance to fix what’s costing you customers: a confusing layout, a slow site, or one that’s hard to use on a phone. It’s also a risk if it’s rushed. Done carelessly, a new site can lose search traffic the old one had earned. Planning first and testing a preview keeps that risk down.

Should we redesign or fix what we have?

Not every site needs a redesign. Sometimes a few clear fixes, such as speed, a better home page or clearer contact options, get most of the benefit. Our answer on whether to redesign or fix walks through how to decide.

What are the common mistakes and edge cases?

• Losing Google rankings. This happens when old addresses stop working with no redirect. Google’s guide to site moves explains why mapping old addresses to new ones matters. See keeping rankings in a redesign.
• Waiting on content. Words and photos are usually what slows a project down. Start gathering them early. Our answer on preparing for a redesign has a checklist.
• Not owning your logins. Make sure your domain, hosting and Google accounts are in your business’s name before you start. See which logins your business should own.
• Choosing a platform by habit. WordPress suits a business that wants to edit a lot or needs plugins like a store. A static build suits one where speed and low upkeep matter most.

What should I send you to get started?

You don’t need much for the first call:

• your current website address, if you have one
• what you’d like the site to do that it doesn’t do now
• two or three websites you like, and why
• any deadlines, such as a launch event
• who in your business will approve the design

Don’t send passwords.

How long does it take, and what does it cost?

It depends on the size of the site and how quickly content and approvals come together. Our answers on website cost and redesign timelines explain what affects both.

How does E-3 handle this?

For an E-3 redesign, you approve the plan and the preview before launch. Redesigns are tested on a staging copy first. After launch, sites on E-3 website care or hosting get their updates tested on a staging copy first too, with daily backups.
