Rebuilding or redesigning a website can be a big decision, with many questions.
Below is a list of some of the questions we have been asked over the years regarding new design for exiting websites.
More information about New design and makeovers
Do I get to keep the same domain name if I rebuild my site?
YES
Can I stay with the same Host if I rebuild my website?
YES
I want to change my website host, can you do that?
YES. If you are sick of your old webhost, or think you are paying too much for web hosting, we can suggest another host that will give you more options and control.
You should consider changing your web hosts if:
- You are paying more than $10 a month for regular hosting
- You want to have as many websites and blogs as you like, for $9.95 a month or $100 a year.
We are very experienced at moving websites; your website will not be offline at all, one second it will be your old website the next it will be your new one.

Will all the page names stay the same?
YES if you would like them to; often with an older site links have been made to a site and to a specific page name, and you don't want to lose that link, so keeping old page names is important. If on the other hand you are wanting to make your site more search engine friendly, page names can be changed, and instant redirects can be set up.
Will old links from forums and blogs etc still work?
YES
Will my site be offline while you rebuild?
NO We usually rebuild the site on our server; and when it's all done, we move it to your host, so the longest your site will be down in a few minutes with the changeover.

Can you add a Blog to my website?
YES - that's normally an easy process and we don’t usually charge to add a blog; we do charge a design fee to make the blog look like your website, if you would like that option. This process is often refered to as skinning.
I already have a blog can you put it on my website?
YES. It's usually quite easy to do.
Can you make new pages or change the text/pictures on existing pages while you are redesigning?
YES No problem at all.
The words and pictures on my website are good, I just want new look will you do that?
YES Often people like to keep the same wording; sometimes with a different font and the layout of pictures and structure of wording rearranged, but sometimes people want the layout and wording to remain exactly the same, with no changes.
