Modernize and run

Website Modernization

Rebuild or upgrade an ageing website without losing search visibility

We review your current site, keep the URLs and content that already earn traffic, and move the rest to a faster, mobile-friendly and accessible build, with redirects and metadata planned so search visibility is protected.

  • Content and URL audit
  • 301 redirect planning
  • Core Web Vitals
  • React
  • ASP.NET MVC

How a Modernization Is Run

1

Assess Baseline

Review the existing code, database, hosting and security position, and list the risks.

2

Strangler Migration Plan

Break the move into small steps, keep existing integrations working, and agree a rollback path for each step.

3

Execute & Verify

Move one piece at a time and compare performance and behaviour with the current system.

4

Operate & Steward

Set up monitoring, alerts, backups and scheduled patching, with support terms agreed in writing.

Signs It Is Time to Modernize

  • A site that looks dated and loads slowly
  • Fear of losing rankings during a redesign
  • Content that cannot be edited without a developer

Website Modernization in practice

Who this suits

Organisations with a dated, slow or hard-to-maintain website that still earns traffic, and that worry a redesign will cost them search visibility. It suits sites that need to work properly on mobile and meet accessibility expectations.

What you receive

A review of the current site, a list of the URLs and content that should be kept, a redirect map, a rebuilt faster mobile-friendly site, updated metadata and sitemap, and testing before launch. We plan to protect existing visibility; no outcome in search can be guaranteed.

How we approach it

We start from evidence: which pages bring visitors and enquiries today. Those are preserved or redirected deliberately. We then rebuild the rest, check performance and accessibility before launch, and watch the site after go-live so problems are caught early.

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose my Google rankings if I redesign?

Risk is reduced by keeping valuable URLs, mapping redirects and testing before launch. No outcome can be guaranteed, but we plan to protect existing visibility.

Can you keep our current content?

Yes. We audit what works, keep it, and restructure or rewrite only what needs it.
