Yes, in most cases a website redesign will not cost you your Google rankings, as long as the redesign is planned carefully and your existing content, URLs and links are handled properly during the move.

Ranking drops after a redesign are almost always caused by avoidable technical issues rather than the redesign itself. The most common culprits are pages that move to new web addresses without a proper redirect in place, content that is deleted or rewritten in a way that loses its original meaning, and internal links that are not updated to point to the new pages.

What helps protect your rankings during a redesign?

If your page addresses (URLs) are staying the same, the risk is generally low. If URLs are changing as part of the redesign, each old page should be permanently redirected (a “301 redirect”) to its most relevant new page, rather than everyone being sent to the homepage. Google’s own guidance on site moves confirms that ranking signals are carried across through this kind of redirect, and that pages without a genuine equivalent are better left as a normal “page not found” than redirected somewhere unrelated.

It also helps to keep your best-performing page titles, headings and page content largely intact rather than rewriting everything from scratch, update your internal links so they point to the new pages, and set up (or keep) Google Search Console so you can see how the new site is being crawled and indexed.

What to expect after launch?

Some fluctuation in rankings is normal for a period after any redesign, simply because Google needs to recrawl and reindex your updated pages. This is different to a genuine drop caused by lost content or broken redirects. There is no guaranteed timeframe for this settling-in period, and no way to guarantee rankings will hold or improve, since Google’s algorithms weigh many factors beyond the redesign itself.

If you are planning a redesign of an existing website, it is worth raising your current rankings and top-performing pages early in the project so this can be factored into the plan.

An effective website design for Brisbane businesses should be:

• Mobile-friendly and responsive
• Fast-loading and optimised for SEO
• Visually appealing with a clear call-to-action (CTA)
• Tailored to the local audience and market trends
• Easy to navigate and user-friendly

Yes, we offer ongoing website maintenance and support to ensure your site remains secure, up-to-date, and fully functional. Our plans include regular updates, backups, security checks, and technical support.

In most cases, yes. A WordPress website is generally built so you can log in and make everyday changes yourself, such as updating text, swapping photos, or adding a blog post, without needing to know how to code.

 What you can typically manage yourself?

Common WordPress edits that most business owners can handle with a bit of familiarity include updating page text, changing images, adding new blog posts, and updating basic business details like opening hours or contact information. How much you can safely edit depends on how the website was built and which page builder or theme is being used, since some layouts are more flexible than others.

 Where support or training can help?

Some tasks are better left to a developer, or at least approached carefully, including structural changes to layout or navigation, software and plugin updates, and anything involving the website’s design or functionality rather than its content. Getting these wrong can sometimes affect how the site looks or performs.

If you’re not confident making changes yourself, or you’d like a proper introduction to your specific website, one-to-one training can be a useful step. This gives you a chance to learn where things are and ask questions about your own site, rather than working it out through trial and error. Ongoing support is also available for clients who would rather leave updates, fixes and software maintenance to someone else.

 A practical starting point

If you’re planning a new WordPress website, it’s worth discussing early on how much of the day-to-day editing you want to do yourself. This can shape how the site is set up and whether training is included as part of the handover.

Your website may need a redesign if:

• It looks outdated or doesn’t reflect your brand

• It’s not mobile-friendly or responsive

• It loads slowly or has technical issues
