Redesign / relaunch on same domain
You have rankings or branded demand worth protecting and the domain is an asset.
Website Redesign vs New Website: Cost, SEO and Risk (Massachusetts)
SEO Growth €399/mo and AI receptionist €390+€89/mo keep MA decision pages realistic vs Boston boutique retainers. Redesign keeps the domain and fights to protect equity with redirects. A new website (or major rebuild treated as new) can be cleaner when IA is beyond salvage — but it is not an excuse to ignore URLs that already earn traffic.
Best use case
When each option fits
New website / clean rebuild
The current stack/IA is toxic, or you are truly starting a new brand/property.
Cost & speed
What it costs and how fast it moves
Redesign / relaunch on same domain — Cost
Duyuz redesign from €890 campaign; many multipage relaunches land near Business/Growth website budgets.
Speed
Depends on content salvage and redirect mapping quality.
New website / clean rebuild — Cost
Similar to new-build packages (Launch from €590; Business from €990) — migration complexity still appears if you replace an old property.
Speed
Can feel faster if you discard content — until you recreate everything you still need.
SEO cleanup after a sloppy relaunch is the expensive surprise.
Advantages and limitations
Both sides have trade-offs — we recommend based on fit.
Redesign / relaunch on same domain — Advantages

When to combine
Using both — deliberately
Rebuild templates and IA while keeping the domain and a strict redirect map — the usual professional path.
How to decide
If the domain has equity, redesign with redirects. If the property is disposable or brand-new, build clean — still with intentional IA.

FAQ
Will redesign hurt SEO?
It can. We reduce avoidable loss with redirects and staging QA — no ranking guarantees.
Can I keep my CMS?
Sometimes. Platform choice follows maintenance reality, not fashion.
Homepage-only redesign?
Only if the problem is truly isolated — often it is not.
How do quotes differ?
Redesign quotes emphasise equity mapping; new builds emphasise IA from scratch. Both need written scope.
Boston agency required?
No for most SME scopes. Remote packages with clear scope are normal.
AI for clinics?
With boundaries (no diagnosis) and human escalation — you approve knowledge.
