Website Redesign
Almost every redesign I do starts the same way: the client has a website that technically works, and they hate it.
It's dated. It's slow. Their staff can't update it without submitting a request to someone. And it doesn't look like the business they've become since it was built.
That's the majority of my work, and nearly all of it is migration off WordPress.
Sound Familiar?
Peace Church Middleville is one of the fastest-growing churches in the country, serving over 2,600 people across two locations. Their staff needed to post sermons and events constantly. Their WordPress site turned every one of those into a project.
Read the case studyVillage Custom Interiors started as Village Flooring in 2004 and grew into a full cabinets, countertops, and tile showroom in Byron Center. Their site, running on a flooring-industry platform built on WordPress, still told the old story.
Read the case studyAge Management of West Michigan had a sluggish WordPress site that wasn't performing in search despite a strong reputation and a loyal patient base.
Read the case studyWest Michigan Kitchen Studio has three showrooms and a design team clients rave about. Their old site didn't come close to representing that.
Read the case studyThe Risky Part
This is the part most people get wrong, and it's the part that can genuinely hurt you.
Your existing site has ranking history. Pages that Google trusts, links pointing at specific URLs, years of accumulated signal. Move to a new site carelessly and you throw all of it away, and the traffic drop shows up weeks later, when it's hard to trace back.
That last step matters more than it sounds. A redirect that returns the wrong status code looks fine to a human and is invisible to you until rankings slide.
Honest Scoping
Worth being honest about, because the answer affects what it costs you.
Makes sense when your content is decent, your structure roughly works, and the problem is presentation and platform.
Makes sense when the site's structure itself is the problem: pages that shouldn't exist, no clear path to contacting you, or content written for a business you no longer are.
Most projects are somewhere between. I'll tell you which one you're actually looking at rather than quoting the bigger one by default.
Common Questions
Not if the migration is done properly. Redirects are the entire ballgame, and I map them before anything moves. What I can't promise is that rankings won't move for other reasons, Google changes constantly, but the migration itself shouldn't cost you.
Yes. Your domain is yours and stays yours.
Common, and fixable. We can rewrite as part of the project or launch with what you have and improve it after. Launching with bad content is better than never launching.
This completely depends on your old websites size and complexity. On average it takes 3-6 weeks.
I migrate off it. I don't maintain WordPress sites, I made a deliberate choice in 2016 to specialize completely rather than spread thin, and that's held up.
