A redesign should fix what is costing you enquiries, not cost you the traffic you already have.
Rockhopper Digital redesigns and rebuilds existing UK business websites without losing search rankings. Every URL is mapped, pages that earn traffic are kept, and redirects go live with the new site. Typical projects take six to ten weeks and are quoted as a fixed price.
Most redesigns go wrong the same way. The new site looks better, and a month later the enquiries have dried up, because URLs changed without redirects and the pages that were quietly earning traffic were cut or rewritten past recognition.
We plan the move before anything is designed: what ranks now, what brings enquiries, and what each existing page becomes. You deal with Martin Phillips from the first call to launch, and you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Four sites we rebuilt rather than started from scratch. Open them and judge for yourself.
Restructured
SustainPlan
Twelve assessment services rebuilt as pages of their own, each with its own quote request, replacing a single list that left architects guessing which report they needed.

Rebuilt
Richard John
Hair, beauty and training separated into three sections under one brand, each with its own services, pricing and booking route.

Consolidated
The Melanoma Fund
Campaign microsites brought back under one framework, so the charity pages support each other in search instead of competing for the same terms.

Custom theme
The Gallery
A Tunbridge Wells salon trading since 1995, rebuilt from the designer artwork as a custom theme, with the price list generated from stylist tiers.

In our experience it is rarely the design. It is one of these five:
Sometimes the site is sound and the problem is three pages, a slow server or a Google Business Profile nobody has touched. Rebuilding then costs money for nothing.
We audit before recommending, and we will say when targeted fixes would do. If you want the detail first, read redesign without losing rankings, or look at SEO and local search if being found is the real problem.
Martin Phillips, from the first conversation to launch day and after it.
Martin has over 25 years of design experience. He leads every project and stays your contact throughout, backed by a small team of SEO specialists and developers. There are no account managers, so nobody has to learn your business twice, and many clients have stayed with Rockhopper for years.
Martin at Rockhopper has been maintaining our sites for some time now and provides a highly professional service at a very fair price. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rockhopper.
Based in Robertsbridge, East Sussex, and working with businesses across Sussex, Kent and the rest of the UK, as well as clients in the US, Canada and South Africa.
Not if it is planned properly. Rankings are lost when URLs change without redirects and when content that was earning traffic is dropped in the rebuild. We audit the current site first, keep what earns its place and put the full redirect map live at launch.
Six to ten weeks for most business sites. The variable is almost always content: projects with the text and photographs ready move quickly, projects waiting on them do not.
A straightforward business site with a handful of service pages starts in the low thousands. E-commerce, bookings or a large page count add to that. You get a fixed price in writing after a first conversation.
Yes. Most redesigns stay on WordPress, in Divi, Elementor or a custom theme. If moving platform is the right call, that is a separate conversation and it is covered on our AI website design and builds page.
Access to the current site and its analytics, whatever content and photography you have, and one person who can make decisions. We handle the rest, including the Search Console work.
Send a message, or call for a proper conversation. Either way, you’ll be talking to Martin.
