A redesign that does not cost you the results you already have.
The short version. Yes, your site can be rebuilt without losing your place in Google, and the work that protects it is part of the job rather than an extra. A rebuild is NZ$990 for one page, from NZ$3,290 for a full business website and from NZ$4,990 for a store, no GST added, with a fixed quote in writing before anything starts. And if the honest answer is that your site does not need rebuilding at all, you will get that answer instead of a quote.

Keeping your search results is a checklist, not a promise.
Rankings are lost in redesigns for boring, preventable reasons. Every one of them is on somebody's list or it is on nobody's. Here is the list.
Every old address is written down first
Before anything is designed, the addresses the old site has are listed, along with which of them people and search engines actually reach. That list is the map for the whole move, and most redesigns never make one.
Addresses that change get a permanent redirect
Where a page keeps its address, nothing needs doing. Where it changes, the old address permanently forwards to whatever replaced it, so a link from somebody else's site, an old ad or a printed van still lands somewhere sensible. This site does the same for every address its own previous version had.
The writing that earns the results comes across
The most common way to lose rankings is to replace four hundred words that answered a question with sixty words and a photograph. Pages get rewritten to read better, not shorter, and the ones already bringing people in are treated carefully rather than tidied away.
The tracking is kept, not started again
Analytics history is worth something and it does not survive being set up from scratch. Powder Pros kept their existing Google Tag Manager container and their thank-you address through the rebuild, so the numbers either side of launch are comparable rather than two unrelated charts.
Launch day is a checklist, and then it is watched
New sitemap submitted, Search Console checked, forms tested to a real inbox, certificate confirmed, redirects walked through one at a time. Then Search Console gets looked at over the following weeks, because that is when anything missed shows up.
Three times a redesign is the wrong purchase.
The site is broken, not dated
A form that stopped arriving, a certificate that expired, a layout that collapses on a phone. These feel like the site is finished, and they are usually a day's work. Start at website fixes instead, and only rebuild if the answer there is that it is not worth repairing.
Nobody is visiting in the first place
If almost nobody arrives at the current site, a nicer version of it will convert a slightly larger share of almost nobody. The honest first move is usually your map listing, the words on the page and what you do off the site, not the design of it. You will get told that.
You want a new logo, not a new site
Sometimes what has actually gone stale is the brand, and the website is only where you notice it. That is a different and often cheaper job. Say so and it gets quoted as what it is.
A rebuild is priced the same as a new build.
Because it is the same work, plus a move. There is no cheaper rate for a rebuild and no premium on one either. These are the published prices, no GST added.
One page
NZ$990For a trade, a clinic or a new business that needs one good page with the hours, the services and a way to get in touch.
The full list of what is includedBusiness website
from NZ$3,290For an established business that needs a proper site: services, about, work, contact, and pages set up so search engines can find them.
The full list of what is includedOnline store
from NZ$4,990For a business that sells physical products and wants payment, shipping and tax set up properly from day one.
The full list of what is includedThe one page is a fixed price. The business website and the store are from prices, and what moves them is anything past the list on the card: more pages or products, a booking system, or stock and orders connected to another system. Need something between these, or bigger? We quote it as a fixed price, in writing, with the revision rounds spelled out. All prices are in New Zealand dollars, with no GST added. Tea Break Studio is not registered for GST, so no GST is charged on any price, quote or invoice.
Two sites that were replaced under their own traffic.
Both live. One moved off an agency's hosting, one was rebuilt while it kept selling.
LivePowder Pros
Website rebuild, Next.js
An agency-hosted WordPress site with a third-party enquiry form, replaced with a home page and eight service pages. The domain was moved across and the new site went live on 8 September 2026, with the existing tag manager container kept so the analytics history carried over.
LiveKiller Groom
Store rebuild and care, Shopify
A men's grooming store taken over as a live, trading business and rebuilt around the range, with loyalty, a wishlist, Subscribe and Save and a stockist locator. The original build was by another agency.
The questions that stop people redesigning.
Mostly the same five worries, and they are all reasonable. Here they are answered properly rather than waved away.
