Refresh, redesign or optimise?
Three different jobs, three different budgets of time
Not every tired website needs rebuilding. The right move depends on whether the problems are on the surface — looks, copy, small speed issues — or in the foundations: platform, structure and mobile experience.
01
Refresh
New look, same build: updated visuals, copy and conversion fixes on top of a platform that still works well.
02
Redesign
New structure from the ground up: when the platform, mobile experience or business has outgrown the current site.
03
Optimise
Keep and improve: your site is in good shape, so small regular tests and updates will beat a big project.

FAQ
About the Should I Redesign? Quiz
How do I know if my website needs a redesign?
Look at the foundations: an old platform, a poor mobile experience, a site your team can’t edit, or a business that has changed are signs you need a redesign. If only the look, copy or small speed issues are the problem, a refresh is usually enough.
What’s the difference between a refresh and a redesign?
A refresh updates the visuals, content and conversion paths on your existing site. A redesign rebuilds the structure, design and often the platform from scratch.
How often should a website be redesigned?
Many businesses redesign every 3–5 years and refresh in between. The better trigger is change: a new offer, a rebrand, falling enquiries or a site that no longer works well on phones.
Will a redesign hurt my Google rankings?
It can if URLs change without planning. Map every old page to its new address with 301 redirects, keep content that ranks, and check rankings after launch.
Is the quiz free?
