Website
Redesign Harare
If your website was built several years ago, loads slowly, or simply does not reflect how your business has grown, a website redesign in Harare can solve these problems without forcing you to start entirely from scratch. At Bng Graphics, we specialise in taking outdated or underperforming websites and rebuilding them into fast, modern, mobile-ready sites – while protecting the SEO value and content you have already built up over time.
Our
Website Redesign Process
We regularly work with businesses whose current site was designed for a different era of the internet – built for desktop browsers only, running on outdated plugins, or simply no longer matching the brand the business has become. A redesign addresses all of this without the cost and disruption of building an entirely new domain presence.
Site Audit
Before changing anything, we audit your existing website – reviewing current content, traffic patterns where available, technical SEO issues, and which pages are actually performing versus which are not. This tells us what to keep and what needs to change.
Content and SEO Preservation
One of the biggest risks in a website redesign is losing existing search rankings by changing URLs or removing content carelessly. We map old URLs to new ones properly and preserve content that is already generating traffic, so your redesign improves the site without erasing progress already made.
Modern Design and Rebuild
We design a new, modern layout aligned with your current brand identity, then rebuild the site using a faster, more maintainable technical foundation than most older websites were originally built on.
Testing and Careful Migration
We test the redesigned site thoroughly before it replaces your live website, and we handle the migration carefully to minimise any downtime or disruption to your business during the switch.
Signs Your Website Needs a Redesign
Many older Harare business websites were built before mobile browsing became the primary way people access the internet. A core part of most redesign projects is rebuilding the site with a proper mobile-first responsive design approach, ensuring the site works properly on phones first, rather than being a desktop site awkwardly squeezed onto a smaller screen.
- Slow loading times – if your site takes more than three seconds to load, you are likely losing visitors before they even see your content.
- Poor mobile experience – text that is too small, buttons that are hard to tap, or layouts that break on phones.
- Outdated visual design – fonts, colours, or layouts that look noticeably dated compared to competitors.
- Difficult to update – if making a simple content change requires technical help every time, the underlying platform is likely holding you back.
- Low search visibility – if your site is not appearing for relevant searches, outdated technical SEO is often a major contributing factor.
How Often Should a Website Be Redesigned?
Will a website redesign affect my current Google rankings?
If done properly, a redesign should improve your rankings over time rather than harm them. We carefully preserve existing content and URLs, or redirect them correctly, to protect the SEO value your site has already built up.
How long does a website redesign take?
Most redesign projects take between three and six weeks, depending on the number of pages and how much of the existing content and structure can be reused versus rebuilt.
Will my website be down during the redesign process?
No, we build and test the redesigned site separately before migrating it live, which minimises downtime to a brief switchover window rather than an extended outage.
How do I know if I need a redesign or a completely new website?
If your business, branding, and services are fundamentally the same but your site is outdated, slow, or hard to use, a redesign is usually the right choice. A completely new build is typically only necessary for a full rebrand or a significant change in business direction.
What Changes in a Redesign vs a New Build
A full new website build starts from nothing – no existing content, structure, or search history to consider. A redesign is different: it works with what already exists, improving the design, performance, and structure while preserving the value already built into the current site, including existing Google rankings, backlinks, and indexed content. This makes a redesign typically faster and less risky than abandoning an existing site entirely in favour of a completely new website design project.
Redesigning Without Losing SEO Value
We take particular care with technical SEO during redesign projects, since this is where many businesses lose ground without realising it. This includes properly redirecting old URLs to their new equivalents, preserving and improving existing page titles and meta descriptions, maintaining internal linking structure where it already works well, and improving page speed, which directly affects search rankings. A well-executed redesign should improve your search visibility over time, not damage it.
