For Newcastle businesses pricing up a rebuild
A redesign is quoted like a new site, and the expensive part is the one nobody puts on the quote.

Since it went live my phone hasn’t stopped ringing.
He created a stunning website for us that captures and nurtures leads with an automated email marketing system, which has filled a huge gap in the business and saved a lot of time (and money!).
Reece has been generous, reliable and knowledgeable in creating an online presence for our sporting club. He is good to work with and has good technical abilities.
Website redesign cost in Newcastle sits in much the same place as a new site. A redesign is a new site with your content moved across.
There is a second cost, and it appears on nobody's quote: the pages you already have that bring you work.
Two to six thousand covers most small business rebuilds in Newcastle. The bigger numbers are shops, booking systems, and a brand being redone at the same time.
The quote is built the same way a new site is: page by page, plus whoever writes the words, plus anything the site has to do rather than say.
Four things, and all four are cheaper to agree now than to argue about at launch.
Ownership comes first. The domain, the hosting and the site should sit in your own accounts, so changing your mind later is inconvenient rather than expensive.
A rebuild that looks better and rings less has cost far more than its quote. The quote is the smaller of the two numbers on this page.

They are priced the same way, because the work is the same work. The saving is in content you already have, where it is still worth keeping.
Four to eight weeks for a small business site. The build is rarely the slow part: rebuilds stall waiting on words and photographs.
Only if the old pages are replaced without telling Google where they went. Agreed before the build starts, it is part of the same job and the positions carry over.
Yes, and on a site that is already working it is the right call. The pages bringing in work are left alone and the rest is rebuilt.
One monthly fee covering everything, month to month, with no lock-in contract. What it comes to depends on the business, so the number gets given on the call.
