Jardine Studio
SERVICE / WEBSITE DESIGN + BUILD / WEBSITE REDESIGN

A redesign that turns the current site into the site the business needs now.

Most redesigns start with the same signal: the business has grown, but the site still reflects an older version of the offer, brand, buyer, or operating model. The work is stronger than the website representing it. From a focused refresh to a fuller rebuild with booking, CRM, or AI integrations.

WHERE IT BREAKS

The current site is the version of the business from a few years ago.

Most redesigns start with the same signal: the site no longer matches the business the buyer is about to meet. Sometimes the brand has moved on. Sometimes the offer, audience, or operations have changed. Sometimes the build itself is holding the next version back.

  • The brand has moved on, but the site has not.

    Photography, copy, colors, typography, or positioning still belong to the previous version of the business. The team hesitates before sending the URL because the site no longer makes the right introduction.

  • The site predates how the business works today.

    Service lines have changed, pricing has shifted, the audience has sharpened, or the sales motion is different. The site is still explaining the business as it used to be.

  • The build cannot support what the business needs next.

    The platform may still be fine, but the current template, theme, or setup makes it hard to add a booking flow, calculator, AI agent, member area, or better editing workflow.

  • The site is slow.

    The team has compressed images, added caching, tried plug-ins, or worked around the platform, but the site still feels heavy. The redesign becomes the chance to fix the structure instead of patching symptoms.

  • Search visibility has plateaued.

    The site is held back by old structure, thin pages, weak internal links, missing schema, or a migration history nobody wants to touch. The redesign is the chance to fix the SEO architecture, not just the visuals.

WHAT IT COSTS

Living with a dated site has a cost.

The cost is rarely a single line item. It shows up as missed conversions, colder referrals, weaker sales conversations, and team time spent working around the site instead of using it.

  • Buyers leaving before they make contact.

    A dated site can make the business feel smaller, less current, or less credible than it really is. Good-fit buyers may decide the offer is not for them before they ever reach out.

  • A credibility hit on every outreach and referral.

    Every introduction, prospect call, profile link, and press mention eventually points back to the site. If the site feels behind, the trust built elsewhere has to work harder.

  • A team that has stopped using the site as a tool.

    Marketing works around the site. Sales avoids linking to it. Updates move to PDFs, decks, social posts, or emails because the website is too hard to change or too weak to send.

  • Compounding SEO drag.

    Old information architecture, outdated schema, weak internal links, and legacy URLs keep accumulating. The longer the redesign waits, the more carefully the next build has to preserve what works while fixing what is holding the site back.

HOW WE DO IT

Moves that turn the redesign into a working site.

The studio runs redesigns as one engagement across design system, build, content structure, and SEO preservation. One scope, one timeline, and one team responsible for the work through launch.

  • Design system carried into the build.

    Typography, color, spacing, components, and logo use are defined before the build extends them across the site.

  • New information architecture mapped before page design.

    Audience, offer, conversion path, and content structure are decided before the visual work starts.

  • Page-by-page rebuild on a stack the business can keep running.

    Each page is redesigned and rebuilt on a setup that fits how the business needs to edit, maintain, and extend the site after launch.

  • Content migration done deliberately.

    Existing copy is reviewed, edited, rewritten, or preserved based on what the page needs to do. Content with search value is handled carefully so the redesign does not throw away useful equity.

  • SEO preservation runs inside the engagement.

    Redirects are mapped before launch. Titles, descriptions, schema, internal links, image alts, and high-value URLs are reviewed as part of the redesign, not treated as a separate handoff.

Wondering whether the platform should stay or move?

A 30-minute call reviews the current site, what needs to change, and whether the redesign can happen on the existing stack.

WHAT YOU GET

A redesigned site the business can keep using.

Every redesign should protect the same three things: a site the team can manage, faster pages, and the search value the old site already earned.

  • A site the team can keep running after launch.

    Editor access, documentation, and handoff are included so the team can add a page, update a hero, or change pricing without needing the studio for every edit.

  • Faster pages.

    The redesign is built around a clean structure, lighter pages, and stronger Core Web Vitals. Black Salt Room hit Lighthouse 100 across Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO on mobile and desktop.

  • Existing search value protected.

    Redirects are mapped, schema and metadata are reviewed, and Search Console is monitored through the first month after launch.

THE ENGAGEMENT

How the work moves.

  1. Phase 1: Brief and audit

    Document the current site, search baseline, conversion path, platform constraints, and new information architecture.

  2. Phase 2: Design system and IA

    Define the design system, reusable components, and content structure before page design begins.

  3. Phase 3: Page-by-page design and content

    Design each page around the new structure while copy is reviewed, edited, rewritten, or preserved where needed.

  4. Phase 4: Build and SEO preservation

    Build the site on the chosen stack, with redirects, metadata, schema, internal links, and priority URL handling included during development.

  5. Phase 5: Launch and first-month monitoring

    Run launch QA, crawl the new site, verify redirects and schema, submit through Search Console, and monitor the first month with direct studio support.

QUESTIONS

Things worth knowing.

Does the studio do redesigns on the same platform, or always rebuild on something new?
Both. If the existing platform can support the new direction, the redesign can stay there. If the platform is part of the problem, the work becomes a platform escape. The decision is made in the brief based on editing needs, performance, SEO preservation, integrations, and what the team can realistically maintain after launch.
Will my rankings hold through the redesign?
The goal is to protect existing search value through the redesign. Redirects are mapped before launch, high-value URLs are reviewed, and titles, descriptions, schema, internal links, and image alts are handled deliberately. Search Console is monitored after launch so issues can be caught quickly.
Does the team get editor access after launch?
Yes. Editor access, documentation, and handoff are included. The redesign is built on a stack the team can realistically keep running, with the editing model chosen during the brief.
What if I want to refresh the brand identity at the same time?
That can be included when the site needs it. A redesign can refresh the visual system, such as typography, color, spacing, components, image direction, and logo use. If the work needs deeper positioning, naming, voice, or brand strategy, the brand-identity engagement can run first or alongside the redesign.
How long does a redesign take?
Redesign timelines depend on scope. A focused refresh on the same platform is usually faster than a full rebuild with SEO migration and new integrations. The phases are brief and audit, design system and information architecture, page-by-page design and content, build and SEO preservation, and launch monitoring. The timeline is confirmed in the written scope.
How much does a redesign cost?
Scope drives the price. The main factors are the size of the information architecture change, whether SEO migration is in scope, whether the platform changes, and whether new systems like booking, CRM, or AI are part of the rebuild. Indicative ranges live on the pricing page.
