05 / Modernisation

Modernising an existing website or system

Keep the value in your existing website or software and tackle what holds it back. Start with an assessment of the code, content, data and integrations. Then agree a focused improvement or a phased rebuild, with a clear scope and price.

Start with the existing site or system, the problems you see and the access available for assessment.

Build on what matters.

01 / The right fit

Who it’s for

01

Sites that look and read their age

The design is years old, the copy no longer matches the offer and the site is hard to use on a phone.

02

Systems nobody dares to touch

An internal platform or online shop built long ago, without documentation, where every change risks breaking something.

03

Tools that do not talk to each other

Orders copied by hand between the site, invoicing and the CRM. We connect the systems so the data moves on its own.

02 / A clear scope

What’s included

The assessment defines the work. These are possible areas of a modernization project, not an all-inclusive fixed-price bundle.

  • Technical review: speed, security, technical SEO and how easy the site is to update
  • New design and copy on the existing structure, or a new structure where needed
  • Faster pages, optimised for phones
  • Security updates: PHP versions, WordPress and dependencies
  • Redirects for old addresses, so you do not lose Google traffic
  • Integrations between the site, invoicing, CRM, email and other tools
  • A move to suitable hosting, with backups and monitoring
  • Documentation and training so your team can update the site themselves

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what people ask before booking a call.

Rebuild from scratch or modernise?

It depends on the state of the site. If the structure and platform are healthy, we modernise the design, copy and performance on what exists. If the platform is outdated or insecure, we rebuild on a new foundation and migrate the content. We tell you honestly which option fits after the review.

Will we lose our Google positions in a rebuild?

We do everything on the technical side to keep them: redirects for every old address, the same titles and content where they work well, an updated sitemap and a Search Console check after launch. We cannot guarantee positions, but we can avoid the mistakes that lose them.

How much does modernising a website cost?

The cost depends on the existing code, content, data and integrations. We first agree a bounded assessment and any fee in writing. Its findings define a targeted improvement or phased rebuild, with a separate quote. Website package prices apply only if the reviewed work fits that package; there is no universal starting price for an unknown system.

Do you work with WordPress, Shopify or Magento?

Yes. We have delivered custom WordPress themes that are fully editable from the admin, and modernised PHP applications. We also work on WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento 2 and Odoo, and on custom platforms in Node.js or React.

Does the site stay online during the work?

We normally work on a separate preview environment. The assessment identifies any migration or downtime requirements, with backups, an agreed changeover window and a rollback plan where appropriate.
