What does your replacement website need to retain?
Bring the existing site and the reasons for changing it. We will discuss useful content, connected services and the practical launch arrangements before quoting.
Discuss your website rebuildBusiness website rebuilds, content retention and migrations
A rebuild should account for what is already working.
For a Manchester business replacing a website, the design is one part of the changeover. We plan around existing pages, domain access, enquiry tools and the information customers already use, with the rebuild scope agreed in writing.
Create a keep, change and retire list
We begin with the current URLs and the content your business can stand behind. Useful service explanations, photographs and documents may be retained. Outdated pages need a deliberate decision rather than disappearing because the new layout has fewer menu items.
Identify the systems behind the design
A contact form, booking provider, mailbox or domain may be controlled by different suppliers. The brief records who holds access and which functions must continue. A new brochure build does not silently replace a specialist application or move your email hosting.
Plan and check the changeover
The agreed migration plan covers retained or changed page addresses, appropriate redirects and the enquiry routes to test. You review the replacement before the switch. We check the actual launch rather than guaranteeing that search positions will never change.
Bring the current website into the brief
- Existing page addresses, approved content and the reasons for rebuilding
- Domain, hosting and provider ownership or access details
- The forms, bookings and contact routes that must keep working

What affects web design prices in Manchester?
Manchester website packages start at £295 for Starter, £595 for Essentials and £995 for Business. We agree the fixed build price in writing against your requirements. Business includes the first year of hosting and care; extra functions and wider redesign work are scoped individually.
How do I choose a Manchester web design company?
Choose by the relevance of the proposed work, the clarity of the scope and how well the designer understands your business. Ask what content is needed, how mobile layouts will be reviewed and who handles updates. Treat fictional concepts as design ideas rather than proof of client results.
What is the difference between web design and web development?
Web design plans the appearance, content hierarchy and user journey; development makes the website work in the browser. A brochure project needs both to fit together. Agree the pages and enquiry actions first, then check that the finished build follows the approved design on desktop and mobile.
Can you redesign an existing Manchester business website?
Yes. An existing site can be reviewed as the starting point for a new brochure website. Bring the current address, useful content and the changes you want to make. The brief should identify what to keep and which functions need further investigation before promising a direct replacement.
Is SEO included with Manchester web design?
The website brief can include search foundations such as clear headings, metadata and an agreed content structure. Ongoing SEO is additional work that needs a defined plan. A new design on its own is not a promise of a particular ranking or a fixed number of enquiries.
Can I start with a free website instead of commissioning one?
Yes, if a free website meets your content, editing and contact needs. Compare the actual setup with what you want your business site to do before committing to it. A commissioned brochure site is an option when you need a design and content structure planned around your own offer.
What happens to ownership and costs after my website launches?
The website, domain and content belong to your business. Fully managed hosting is £15 monthly or £150 yearly, with content changes separate. Optional care costs £25 a month for minor changes and maintenance; Business includes hosting and care for its first year.
