How do I know I need a redesign rather than SEO?

If the site is slow on mobile, cannot take a quote, has no service pages, or sits on a platform you cannot control, a rebuild is usually cheaper than months of workarounds. If the site is structurally sound and only invisible, start with the $1,000/mo SEO retainer and the free audit.

Will a redesign keep my rankings?

We plan redirects and preserve URLs that deserve to live. Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings through a migration. Treat any vendor who does as a sales tactic.

What is not included in the fourteen-day rebuild?

Brand strategy workshops, custom illustration libraries, multi-language launches, and third-party app ecosystems. Read the fourteen-day limits note on the insights section before treating the fortnight as unlimited scope.

Do you redesign for Edmonton as a GBP service area?

No. Our GBP service-area priorities are Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere and Rocky View County. Other city pages may exist for demand reasons without being claimed as GBP service areas.

Before the numbers

A redesign quote is only useful when it answers a prior question: is the current site the constraint, or is the phone, the profile, or the offer? This page separates a true rebuild from an SEO-only fix, shows the published market bands, and states our number. The first 10 get a 14-page fullstack rebuild free. You supply the domain. After the first 10, founding is $1,250. Regular Launch is $2,500. Call +1 (250) 344-1619.

Read these with a caveat

Published redesign ranges from Calgary agencies usually mix brand projects with brochure refreshes. Treat them as orientation, not a promise that your scope lands in the middle.

What each tier actually buys

Template refresh on the same platform

$800–$3,000

What you get: New theme, shuffled sections, same URL mess and same conversion path.
Right for: Owners who like the platform and only need a fresher look.
The catch: You paid for paint. Rankings and lead flow usually do not move.

Productized 14-page fullstack rebuild

$1,250–$2,500

What you get: New stack, fixed page set, schema, quote path, redirects planned.
Right for: Trades and local services whose site is losing calls to stronger competitors.
The catch: Not a brand film. If you need original art direction, this band is the wrong shop.

Custom agency redesign

$8,000–$40,000+

What you get: Discovery, custom design language, extended IA, longer QA.
Right for: Multi-stakeholder companies where the website is a brand surface.
The catch: Scope creep and timeline slip unless the proposal locks pages and rounds.

What moves the number

Content ownership

If nobody can approve copy in week one, every quote gets longer.

URL debt

Years of thin location pages and parameter URLs raise redirect and cleanup cost.

Platform lock-in

Leaving a page builder mid-project is a migration, not a skin change.

Photo and proof

Stock imagery is cheap. Real job photos take crew time and change the quote.

How to read a quote

Six things worth asking.

A redesign quote that will not list page count.
Guaranteed ranking recovery after migration.
Bundling a Maps/reviews growth layer you cannot opt out of.
No redirect plan mentioned for the old URLs.

Where we sit

If the bones are fine, we will quote SEO alone at $1,000/mo rather than sell a rebuild. When a rebuild is warranted, the first 10 get a 14-page fullstack site free. You supply the domain. After the first 10, founding is $1,250; regular Launch is $2,500. We do not sell a Climbo-style growth layer as part of redesign. Phone +1 (250) 344-1619.
