Website redesign
The problem we solve

Website
redesign

What every campaign added, and nothing ever removed.

A website redesign for a site that grew by accretion over years: every campaign left a section, every reorganisation left an orphaned page, and the navigation reflects a structure the company outgrew, rebuilt into something coherent again.

The problem
What is included

What a website
redesign involves

What it involves

Sites we are asked to redesign rarely have a visual problem first; they have a structural one. Overlapping sections, pages nobody owns, and a navigation built for a company the current one no longer resembles. Removing is usually more of the work than adding.

What we deliver

A content inventory with a decision on every existing URL, a new architecture reflecting the company today, the redesign and rebuild, and a launch that preserves the search visibility the site already earned.

Restructured by us, approved by your medical team

We restructure and reduce your regulated content to make it work on the redesigned site, while what may actually be said stays exactly where it belongs — with your medical and regulatory team’s approval.

Why a pharmaceutical site
reaches redesign

Nobody redesigns because a site looks dated. A website redesign starts from what actually stopped working.

Redesign process
Four stages

How we run a website
redesign

Four stages. In a website redesign the inventory decides the project.

INVENTORY
01
01

A decision on every existing URL

Before anything is designed we list what exists and decide, page by page, whether it stays, merges or goes, since skipping this is why redesigns end up carrying the old site's problems into a new skin.

What we review

We list every URL on the current site along with its traffic, the inbound links pointing to it, and who inside your organisation actually owns it, and flag where multiple pages are effectively duplicating the same content under different URLs.

Result

Every existing page has an explicit decision, whether keep, merge or retire, made together with your team based on actual data, rather than a decision made unilaterally by whoever happens to be building the new site.

ARCHITECTURE
02
02

A structure built for the current company

The new architecture reflects what the company sells and who it serves now, designed to absorb the next few years of additions without another rebuild.

What we define

We define the full section tree the new site will use, work out the logic for how products and services should actually be presented given the current portfolio, and design how that structure flexes across markets and languages rather than being retrofitted per market later.

Result

The new structure can absorb new products, markets or content types without another full rebuild, which is the actual difference between a genuine redesign and simply putting a new visual layer on the old structure.

DESIGN AND BUILD
03
03

A component system, not a set of pages

We design and implement in one engagement, delivering a system the marketing team can extend rather than a fixed set of layouts.

What we deliver

We deliver a component library covering every real state, including empty, loading, error and populated, not just the ideal case shown in a mockup, templates for each content type the new architecture defines, and a backend your team can actually publish from without our help.

Result

The site holds up as your team adds and edits content over time, because it was built as a system with defined components and rules, rather than as a fixed set of pages that starts breaking the first time something outside the original scope gets added.

LAUNCH
04
04

Preserving what the old site earned

A redesign that loses the visibility the previous site had is a failure regardless of how it looks, so URL mapping and signal preservation happen before launch, not after the traffic drops.

What we handle

We map every page that changes location to its new URL, carry forward the search signals the old site had already earned, and monitor indexation closely in the days after launch rather than assuming the migration went cleanly.

Result

Traffic and rankings carry through the redesign without the dip that a mishandled URL change typically causes, so the new site does not have to earn back visibility the old one already had.

Website redesign questions

What companies ask before committing to a rebuild.

Will we lose our search positions?

Not if the URL mapping is done properly and the actual content that earns those positions survives the restructure intact. Redesigns lose visibility when pages are deleted without a redirect destination, which is an avoidable mistake made at the inventory stage of the project, not an inevitable cost of redesigning.

Can we redesign without changing platform?

Frequently, yes — it is worth checking before assuming a redesign requires a replatform. If the current platform is technically sound and only the structure, content and visual design have aged, a redesign in place typically costs considerably less and takes less time than moving to a new CMS. We assess platform health first specifically to avoid an unnecessary replatform being sold as the only option.

How much content usually gets removed?

More than most clients expect going into the process — it is common to find a substantial share of pages carrying no meaningful traffic, no inbound links and no internal owner responsible for them, and removing that dead weight makes what remains far easier to find.

Is this different from CMS replatform?

Yes, related but distinct — a redesign changes structure, content and visual design while keeping the underlying platform in place. See CMS replatform for when the platform itself, rather than only the structure and design, needs to change, typically because it can no longer support the content model or integrations you need. Many projects only need one of the two, not both.
