It is slow
Visitors on mobile data give up before it loads, and Google notices.
Website redesign for South African small businesses.
A faster, clearer rebuild of the website you already have, made to bring in more enquiries without losing the Google traffic it has earned. Fixed price in rand, done in days, with me on every step.
/ Signs it is time
When a redesign pays for itself.
A redesign is worth it when your current site is costing you work. These are the problems I see most.
It is hard to use on a phone
Tiny text and broken menus on the device most of your customers use.
Nobody gets in touch
No WhatsApp button, no quote form, no clear next step, so traffic goes nowhere.
Nobody finds it
No page titles, sitemap or Google Business Profile link, so you are invisible locally.
It is out of date
Old prices, old services and old photos. The business moved on; the site did not.
You cannot update it
The designer disappeared, the login is lost, or every change costs money.
/ Case study
GO Charging Stations, rebuilt.
GO Charging Stations, in Bryanston, Sandton, supplies, installs and runs EV chargers, from 7 kW home units to 220 kW public fast chargers. I rebuilt their website with product pages, the installation process and quote requests, live on their own domain.
★★★★★
“We are extremely happy with the work delivered on the GO Charging Stations website! The team was professional, efficient, and attentive to our vision.

/ How a redesign works
A new site, without losing what already works.
The danger in any redesign is throwing away the pages and Google rankings your current site has built up. My process protects them.
- 01
Review your current site
What brings in work, what does not, and what to keep.
- 02
Map every page
Each existing page gets kept or pointed to its new home, so nothing that ranks goes missing.
- 03
Design and build
A custom, mobile-first site, reviewed on a private preview link.
- 04
Redirect and launch
Old addresses redirect to the new pages, on your existing domain.
- 05
Check after launch
I watch Search Console after the switch and fix anything that needs it.
/ Pricing
What a redesign costs.
Redesigns are priced like new builds: R2,500 for up to five pages and R4,500 for up to 12, with SEO included. See the website cost guide for what affects the price.

/ Common questions
Website redesign questions.
How much does a website redesign cost in South Africa?
With me, a redesign is priced like a new build: R2,500 for up to five pages and R4,500 for up to 12, with SEO included. Reusing good content from your current site keeps the cost down, and you get a fixed, itemised quote first.
Will a redesign hurt my Google ranking?
It can, if old pages disappear without redirects. I list your existing pages before I start, keep or redirect each one, and check Search Console after launch so problems are caught early.
How long does a redesign take?
Most redesigns take one to five days to build, depending on size, once the content is agreed. Your current site stays live until the new one is ready.
Do I need a full redesign, or just some fixes?
Sometimes fixes are enough. If your site is on a sound platform and mostly works, I will suggest improving it instead. If rebuilding is cheaper and faster than patching, I will say that too.
Can you redesign a WordPress or Wix site?
Yes. I rebuild it as a fast, hand-written site you own, and carry over the content worth keeping. Your domain stays the same, so customers and Google find you at the same address.
