How to Plan a Website Redesign That Works

Start with outcomes, not moods

A redesign fails when it is only visual. Define the business outcome: more Edmonton leads, higher demo bookings, lower bounce on pricing. Then design information architecture and content to support that outcome.

Protect your SEO equity

  • Crawl the old site and map every URL to a new destination
  • Implement 301 redirects before DNS cutover
  • Preserve or improve title/meta intent for Canada keywords
  • Update Google Business Profile and citation links
  • Submit the new sitemap in Search Console

Launch like operators

QA forms, analytics, call tracking, and mobile CTAs. TrueCraft runs redesigns as growth projects — design, development, SEO, and measurement in one Canada-based team.
