WordPress website redesign and upgrades

A redesign should begin with the problems you need to solve, not a choice of replacement theme. WP Craft reviews the existing pages, content and inquiry journey before deciding what to keep, improve or add. That gives the project a scope your team can review.

When a redesign is useful

A review can help when your positioning has changed, services have expanded, mobile pages are difficult to use, or routine editing has become cumbersome. A single issue may only need a focused adjustment rather than a complete rebuild.

How the work is planned

• Inventory pages, plugins, forms and content that must be retained.
• Map old and new pages and agree on URL changes where necessary.
• Develop and check the proposed design in a suitable test environment.
• Review backups, content and critical journeys before switching and handing over.

What to share

Provide the current URL, specific examples of problems, content you want to retain, and information about the theme and plugins. Identify pages that support important inquiries or business processes. An authorized person should be available for access checks; credentials and sensitive information should use an agreed private handover channel.

Common questions

Can existing articles and links be retained?

We first create a content inventory, then agree on rules for retaining, merging or changing pages. Redirects and their checks are scoped when URLs change.

What happens to the live site during development?

The hosting setup determines the test and release approach. Backup, release-window and rollback steps are agreed before switching.
