Website redesign company in Delhi
Website redesign company in Delhi, run by Ram Lakhan. The most common thing that happens to a Delhi business after a redesign is that its rankings collapse, and the cause is almost never the new design. It is a missing redirect map. The old URLs disappear, the equity they carried has nowhere to go, and traffic that took years to build is gone in a fortnight.
That outcome is entirely avoidable and it is what this engagement is actually built around. The design work is the visible part. The part that decides whether the rebuild is an improvement or an expensive setback is the URL inventory, the redirect map and what gets watched in Search Console for the eight weeks after launch.
- Main risk
- Lost rankings
- Actual cause
- Missing redirects
- Cheapest to fix now
- Architecture
- Monitoring
- 8 weeks post-launch
Three things that decide the outcome.
The redirect map is the deliverable that matters
Every URL on the current site gets inventoried, including ones nobody remembers publishing, and each is mapped to its closest equivalent on the new site or deliberately retired. Pages currently earning traffic or holding rankings are identified first and protected. Redirects go straight to the final destination rather than through chains, because chains dilute and slow what passes through them. This is unglamorous and it is the difference between the two possible outcomes.
Sometimes the honest answer is do not redesign
If the current site earns real organic traffic and the complaint is that it looks dated, a redesign carries risk that a visual refresh does not. Rebuilding templates while keeping URL structure, content and internal linking intact captures most of the benefit at a fraction of the risk. I will say when that is the better call, which is not the answer that maximises project value.
A redesign is the cheapest time to fix architecture
URL structure, page hierarchy and internal linking are expensive to change on a live site and nearly free to change during a rebuild. If the current structure was decided on aesthetic grounds, which is the usual case, the redesign is the one moment to correct it without paying for a second migration. Doing the keyword and architecture work at this point is what turns a redesign from a cost into an investment.
What the engagement contains.
- 01
Full URL inventory and redirect map
Every existing URL crawled and mapped to its new destination or explicitly retired, with pages currently earning traffic identified and protected first.
- 02
Pre-launch baseline
Current rankings, traffic and index coverage recorded before launch, so any post-launch change is measurable rather than argued about.
- 03
Architecture correction
URL structure, hierarchy and internal linking rebuilt against keyword data while it is still cheap to change.
- 04
Eight weeks of post-launch monitoring
Index coverage, crawl errors and ranking movement watched after go-live, because problems surface in the weeks after launch rather than on the day.
Questions, answered.
It can, and it frequently does, but not because of the design. Rankings are lost when old URLs are not redirected, when content that was earning traffic is cut, or when the new build introduces technical problems such as noindex tags left over from staging. All three are preventable with a URL inventory, a redirect map and a post-launch check. A redesign run without those is where the horror stories come from.
For a marketing site of eight to twenty pages, typically eight to twelve weeks including the inventory and migration work, which is longer than a fresh build of the same size because the migration is real work. Larger sites and e-commerce catalogues run longer. The timeline is usually set by content decisions and approvals rather than by development.
Where they are sensible, yes, because keeping a URL is always safer than redirecting it. Change them where the current structure is genuinely harming you, for example query-string URLs, no logical hierarchy, or keyword-irrelevant slugs, and accept the redirect cost knowingly. What you should not do is change every URL because the new CMS defaults to a different pattern, which is the most common reason Delhi redesigns lose traffic.
Yes, and for a site already earning organic traffic that is often the right scope. Rebuilding templates while keeping copy, URLs and internal linking intact captures the visual improvement with very little ranking risk. The opposite, rewriting content during a template rebuild, changes two variables at once and makes any post-launch drop impossible to diagnose. Where both are needed, they are best staged.
Broadly the same bands as a new build, Rs 25,000 to Rs 55,000 for template work and Rs 1,00,000 upwards for custom, plus the migration work, which is priced separately because its cost depends on how many URLs exist and how clean the current site is. Add 18% GST. A site with two hundred pages and three previous rebuilds carries considerably more migration work than a clean twenty-page site.
Usually yes, and it is one of the more tractable problems in SEO because the cause is nearly always identifiable rather than speculative. The standard culprits are unredirected legacy URLs, redirect chains, canonical tags inherited from the old structure, staging noindex tags left in place, and content that was quietly dropped. Recovery time depends on how long the damage has been live, but the diagnosis itself is typically a matter of weeks.
