Website redesign
Website redesign that keeps the rankings you already have
Rebuilds for sites that are slow, unmaintainable, or no longer bringing enquiries, with the redirect map, the schema and the search equity handled, so traffic goes up after launch rather than down.
We will tell you if your site does not need rebuilding. That happens more than you would think.
Quick answer
Will a website redesign hurt my Google rankings, and what does one cost?
Mana Studio rebuilds sites that are slow, unmaintainable or no longer producing enquiries, with the redirect map, the schema and the search equity handled as planned work rather than something remembered at launch. A redesign can damage rankings, and that is the main risk in the project — it happens when URLs change without redirects, or when titles, headings and structured data get regenerated by a theme instead of rebuilt deliberately. Both are avoidable. Pricing is the same as a build of equivalent scope plus migration: packaged tiers start at ₹8,000 on the India price list and $499 on the US one, with sites carrying hundreds of URLs or application logic quoted after an audit. A small business site is typically two to three weeks including migration; larger sites run longer, with the pages that currently earn traffic rebuilt first so the risky part is done early and observed. Moving off WordPress is not required — where WordPress is working the honest answer is often a speed and structure fix rather than a platform change, and keeping an existing design on a better foundation is a legitimate, lower-risk project. About a week after launch there is a post-launch crawl to confirm every redirect resolves, no page has lost its metadata and Search Console is clean. Mana Studio is based in Warangal, Telangana, India, works with clients in India, the United States, the United Kingdom and the UAE in English, Telugu and Hindi, and replies to enquiries within one business day.

The most common thing that goes wrong in a redesign has nothing to do with design. A business relaunches, the new site looks far better, and organic traffic falls off a cliff in week three, because the URLs changed without redirects, the new pages lost their titles and schema, and six years of accumulated search equity was thrown away at launch. Recovering from that takes longer than the build did.
So we treat a redesign as two projects. The visible one is the new site. The invisible one is the migration: a crawl of everything that currently exists, a URL-by-URL redirect map, metadata and structured data carried across or improved, and a post-launch check that every ranking page still resolves. The second project is the one that protects the enquiries you already get.
We also start by telling you whether to do it at all. Plenty of sites that feel dated are actually converting fine and need a speed fix, better copy, or three new pages, not thirty. The audit is free and it is a genuine recommendation, including when the recommendation is to spend less than you were planning to.
What a redesign covers
Audit before anything is designed
A crawl of the existing site: what ranks, what converts, what is broken, what nobody has visited in two years. The redesign brief comes out of that data rather than out of taste.
The redirect map
Every old URL mapped to its new home, one by one, before launch. This is the single step that decides whether traffic survives the relaunch, and it is the step most redesigns skip.
Search equity carried across
Titles, descriptions, headings, structured data, internal links and sitemaps rebuilt deliberately rather than regenerated by a theme. Pages that rank keep the signals that made them rank.
Speed as a requirement
Core Web Vitals treated as an acceptance criterion, not a phase-two ticket. Most redesigns we are called in to fix got slower, and a slower site converts worse regardless of how it looks.
Conversion, not just decoration
Enquiry paths, CTA placement, phone and WhatsApp on every screen, forms that work on a phone. A redesign that looks better and converts worse is a failure with good screenshots.
Rescues and takeovers
Half-finished builds, sites whose developer has disappeared, platforms nobody can log into. We audit and tell you straight whether continuing is cheaper than rebuilding.

How we work
How a redesign runs
Free audit and an honest answer
We crawl what you have and come back with what is actually costing you enquiries. Sometimes that is the whole site; often it is three pages and a speed problem.
Inventory and redirect map
Every existing URL listed, with its traffic and its destination, agreed in writing before design starts. Nothing is allowed to disappear silently.
Design and staged build
Screens agreed, then built in slices on a staging URL you can log into, with the pages that currently earn traffic rebuilt first.
Launch, then verify
Redirects tested before go-live, Search Console and analytics reconnected, and a post-launch crawl a week later to confirm nothing is 404ing or has lost its metadata.
What it costs
A redesign is priced like a build, because it is one, with the migration work on top. The packaged tiers are published; anything with a large URL inventory or custom application logic behind it is quoted to scope after the audit.

Website Redesign — frequently asked questions
Will a redesign hurt my Google rankings?
It can, and that is the main risk in the project. It happens when URLs change without redirects, or when titles, headings and structured data are regenerated by a theme instead of rebuilt deliberately. Both are avoidable, and avoiding them is a planned part of the work here rather than something remembered at launch.
How much does a website redesign cost?
The same as a build of equivalent scope, plus migration. Packaged tiers start at ₹8,000 on the India price list and $499 on the US one. Sites with hundreds of URLs or application logic behind them are quoted after the audit.
How long does it take?
A small business site is typically 2–3 weeks including the migration work. A larger site with a big URL inventory runs longer, and we rebuild the pages that currently earn traffic first so the risky part is done early and observed.
Do I have to move off WordPress?
No. If WordPress is working for you, the honest answer is often a speed and structure fix rather than a platform change. We move sites to Next.js when the site needs to be genuinely fast, has application logic, or generates many pages from data, and we say so when it does not.
Can you keep my existing design?
Yes. A rebuild on a better foundation without changing the look is a legitimate project, and it is the lower-risk option when the design is fine and the problem is speed, maintainability or a developer you have lost access to.
What happens after launch?
A post-launch crawl about a week later to confirm every redirect resolves, no page has lost its metadata, and Search Console is clean. If something did slip, that is when it gets caught, not three months later when the traffic report looks wrong.
