Website Redesign and Migration Without SEO and Lead Loss

New design ≠ new URLs without redirects. Migration map, phased launch, metric control — from $799.

Redesign without migration strategy is the top cause of 30–60% organic drops. URLs change, redirects are forgotten, analytics breaks, forms stop sending leads.

Safe transition stages

  1. 1Audit current: URLs, traffic, conversions, indexation
  2. 2Migration map: old URL → new + 301
  3. 3Redesign high-impact pages first
  4. 4Staging + QA forms and integrations
  5. 5Phased rollout, not Friday big bang
  6. 6Post-launch monitoring for 2–4 weeks

SEO during migration

  • Keep or improve title/H1 for intent
  • 301, not 302, for permanent moves
  • Update sitemap and Search Console
  • Don't cut old landings without traffic check
  • Monitor 404s in server logs

Moving to a new stack

WordPress → Next.js, Tilda → custom — not just markup. You need content import, forms, CRM, analytics, performance baseline.

Timeline: 1–6 weeks. From $799. Update by section, not the whole site at once.

Before launch capture baseline: organic, conversion, top 20 URLs by traffic. Compare to that — not gut feel.

"Redesign is a product release. Prepare like a deploy, not a wallpaper change."
