How much does a website redesign cost in Teesside?
With me, a redesign costs the same fixed price as a new site: £295 for up to 3 pages, £595 for up to 6 pages with bookings or enquiries, and from £1,500 for bigger sites, shops or several locations, with a fixed quote within one working day. That covers new design, the words rewritten with you, the Google basics and moving your address across. Your old site keeps running until the new one is ready, so customers never hit a blank page.
| Keep patching it | Rebuild it yourself | Redesign with me | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up front | Small fixes as they come up | A builder plan, usually £0–£30 a month | £295, £595 or a fixed quote from £1,500 |
| Your time | Little, until something breaks | Days of writing, photos and settings | About an hour of answering questions |
| Good at | Fine if it still looks right and works on phones | Full control, and you can change it any time | Done properly in 7 or 10 working days |
| The catch | Old problems stay: slow pages, no page per service | Easy to drop pages Google already knows | You wait for me to make bigger changes (30 minutes a month on Care) |
| Your web address | Stays the same | Stays the same if you move it carefully | Stays the same, old pages pointed at new ones |
Will a new website lose my place on Google?
It can, and that’s the part most owners worry about, rightly. Rankings drop after a redesign when the old page addresses simply vanish, or when the words that matched what customers search get cut for a slicker look. Google then has to work out your business again from scratch.
When I redesign a site I keep your domain, list every page Google already shows for you, and point each old address at its new page, so the visits those pages earned aren’t thrown away. Anything that’s working, like a service page that brings in calls, keeps its words and gets a better home. Then I connect Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools in your name and send them the new sitemap. Nobody can promise a position on Google, but done this way a redesign gives you a stronger site to build on rather than a fresh start.
Redesign, or fix what you’ve got?
Not every old site needs replacing, and I’ll tell you honestly which yours is. A redesign usually pays when:
- It’s slow or awkward on a phone, where most of your customers find you.
- One page tries to say everything, so nothing comes up for “[what you do] [your town]”.
- You can’t change it: the person who built it has gone, or it’s locked to a builder you’ve outgrown (see Wix or a web designer).
- It’s out of date: old prices, old photos, services you no longer offer.
- You don’t own it: the domain or the site is in someone else’s name (here’s who owns your website).
If your site looks right and works on a phone but nobody finds it, the problem is being found, not the design. That’s what the Search Fix is for: your Google profile, listings and website basics, sorted in 5 days.
What I see when I check Teesside businesses
The businesses I check from Middlesbrough to Hartlepool are rarely short of good reviews. When a well-reviewed one with a website still doesn’t show up, the site is often a free builder page or an old builder site with one page that never says what they do and which town they’re in. Customers searching “roofer Stockton” or “physio Middlesbrough” never see it, and ring whoever does show up. If that sounds like yours, see why a business doesn’t show on Google.
What’s included in a redesign with me
I’m Jack, a web designer from Eston. Every redesign comes with:
- A new design built for phones first, fast to load, around how your customers search and book.
- A clear page for each main service, with your service and town in the titles and headings.
- Your words rewritten with you, keeping what already works.
- Old pages pointed at the new ones, and your address kept the same.
- The Google basics: FAQ answers and business details Google and AI tools can read, plus Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools connected.
- The site and domain in your name, so you can take them anywhere.
You pay 50% to start and 50% before the new site goes live, with 2 rounds of changes. Your Google Business Profile and listings aren’t part of a website; that’s the Search Fix. More on prices in what a website costs in the UK, or see web design in Middlesbrough.

How much does a website redesign cost?
With me it’s a fixed price: £295 for up to 3 pages, £595 for up to 6 pages with bookings or enquiries, and from £1,500 for bigger sites or shops, quoted within one working day. You pay 50% to start and 50% before launch, with 2 rounds of changes included.
Will redesigning my website affect my SEO?
It can if old page addresses disappear or the words that matched searches are cut. I keep your domain, point every old page at its new one, keep the content that brings in calls and connect Search Console. Nobody can promise a position, but this protects what your old site earned.
How long does a website redesign take?
Up to 3 pages goes live in 7 days and up to 6 pages in 10 working days, counted from when I have your answers and photos. Bigger sites get a date in their quote. Your old site stays online the whole time, so customers never see a gap.
Can I keep my domain name?
Yes. Your web address stays exactly the same; I point it at the new site when it’s ready. If the domain is registered in your old designer’s name or a builder’s account, I’ll help you move it into your own name first.
Is it cheaper to fix my old website?
Sometimes. If it looks right and works on a phone but nobody finds it, the £149 Search Fix is usually enough. If it’s slow, out of date or one page trying to say everything, a redesign often costs less than patching it bit by bit. Send me the link and I’ll say which.
