Website redesign · Melbourne studio serving United States
Keep what already works (your domain, your email, the pages people find and the inquiries they send) and rebuild the rest as a custom site. We plan the move before anything goes live and confirm the total in writing first.
Is it time?
A redesign changes how a site looks and works. On its own it does not bring more visitors. Make sure you are fixing the right problem before you spend anything.
What we keep
Most redesign risk hides in the details below. Each one goes into your written scope, with any redirect or migration work priced, so launch day holds no surprises.
| Part of your site | Kept | Rebuilt |
|---|---|---|
| Domain name | Yes, stays in your name | No |
| Yes, MX records untouched | No | |
| Design and layout | Brand palette and logo, if you want them | Yes, designed from scratch |
| Code and platform | No | Yes, custom built |
| Page addresses | Where possible | Changed ones redirect (301) |
| Wording and photos | What still works | You supply anything new |
| Forms | Where messages go | Rebuilt and tested |
Leaving a site builder
Most redesigns we quote start on a site builder. The move is straightforward if you plan it; the traps are exports and addresses.
Site builders don't export a working website. You can usually take your text, images and, sometimes, blog posts, but the design and layout stay behind. That is fine: the new site is designed from scratch anyway. What matters is listing every page address before you cancel, so each one can redirect to its new home.
Keep the builder subscription running until the new site is live and the redirects are tested. If your domain was bought through the builder, you can transfer it or simply point it at the new site; either way it stays yours.
We don't rebuild on WordPress, Shopify or Webflow. If you want to stay on one of those, a specialist in that platform is the better choice.
Packages
Redesigns use the same fixed prices as new websites. Count the pages you want on the new site, not the old one; merging thin pages into stronger ones is common and often the right call.

Launch day
Use it for any redesign, whoever builds it.
Built in, not bolted on
A redesign is the cheapest moment to fix accessibility, because everything is being rebuilt anyway. This is general information, not legal advice.
Bigger changes
Sometimes the website is only part of what needs to change.
Before and after
We only show before-and-after work that is real and that the client has agreed to share.
Our published case study, Heartful Celebrations, is an Australian celebrant business: a new website plus a private workspace for the owner. You can open the live site and judge it yourself. More examples are in our work, each marked as client work or a concept.
A SIX9 redesign uses the same fixed prices as a new website: US$169, US$299 or US$449 once for up to 3, 5 or 8 pages, counted on the new site. Redirect mapping and 301 setup, moving a large blog or product list, and complex integrations are listed and priced in your written scope, separately from the package. Many US agencies quote redesigns individually after a discovery call.
Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings through a redesign. What protects them best is keeping useful pages, redirecting every old address that changes to its closest new page, keeping titles and content that already work, and checking everything on launch day. Some movement in the first few weeks is normal.
It should. Email runs on separate DNS records (MX records) from the website. We list every DNS change before launch and leave the email records alone, so your inbox keeps working while the website moves.
We design and build a new custom site rather than reskinning WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix or Squarespace. If staying on your current platform is a requirement, tell us in the brief; we will say plainly if we are not the right fit.
No. We reuse the words and images that still work, and you supply anything new. Copywriting and new photography are not included in website packages.
Most standard websites are ready within 5–7 business days after we receive your content, images, access and project details. Your turnaround starts once we’ve got everything needed to get cracking. The page plan and redirect list are agreed before the build starts.
Once the project is fully paid, the finished website is yours, subject to any third-party platform or license restrictions. Your domain stays in your own name throughout.
Yes. SIX9 Design is based in Melbourne, Australia and has no US office. The redesign runs by email and preview links, with calls in your afternoon, which is early morning in Melbourne. Prices are shown in US dollars.
