Website Redesign in Durham
Rebuilding Durham organisations' existing sites without losing what already works. A redesign differs from a new build in one important respect: there is evidence. Traffic, rankings and conversion data exist, and the most common way redesigns fail is by discarding pages and structure that were quietly performing.
Why this comes up
The problem
The site looks dated and nobody can update it, and the last redesign lost a third of the traffic and took eighteen months to recover.
What you get
What we deliver
- Current performance established first, so losses are visible rather than suspected
- Pages that earn traffic identified and protected through the change
- URL structure preserved where possible, and redirected completely where not
- The actual reason for redesigning agreed, since dated is rarely the real problem
- Content reviewed and cut, as most sites carry pages nobody has read in years
- Post-launch monitoring, because the damaging problems appear in the first fortnight

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Website Redesign in Durham — common questions
- Why do redesigns lose traffic?
- Because URLs change without complete redirects, or because pages that ranked are consolidated into something more elegant. The old site earned its position through specific pages with specific content, and a tidier structure discards that history along with the clutter.
- How do we protect what works?
- By listing every page that receives search traffic or conversions before design starts, and treating that list as a constraint. Anything on it either survives with its address intact or gets redirected to a genuine equivalent — not to the homepage.
- Is a redesign what we actually need?
- Frequently not. Sites are often described as dated when the real problem is unclear messaging, slow pages or content nobody maintains, and each of those is fixable without a rebuild. Establishing what is actually wrong prevents spending a year solving the wrong thing.
- What happens after launch?
- Watch closely for a fortnight. Broken redirects, missing tracking, forms that no longer deliver and pages dropping out of the index all show up quickly and are cheap to fix immediately. Found two months later, they have already cost real money.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
