Website Redesign — Bloemfontein & South Africa
Your Old Website Is Costing You Customers
We redesign outdated, slow, and broken websites for small businesses in Bloemfontein and across South Africa — fast turnaround, affordable pricing, built on WordPress.
Is this your website?
7 Signs Your Website Needs a Redesign
If any of these sound familiar, you’re already losing business to competitors with better websites.
Doesn’t work on phones
Over 65% of South African web traffic is mobile. If your site breaks on a phone, those visitors leave immediately.
Loads slowly
A site that takes more than 3 seconds to load loses more than half its visitors before they’ve seen a single word.
Invisible on Google
If customers searching for your services in Bloemfontein can’t find you, your competitors are getting that business.
Looks outdated
A website that looks like it was built 10 years ago signals to visitors that your business might be behind the times too.
Not generating enquiries
If your website gets visitors but your phone isn’t ringing, the design, content, or call-to-action isn’t doing its job.
No SSL / “Not Secure” warning
Browsers flag sites without an SSL certificate as unsafe. Customers see that warning and leave — fast.
Hard to update
If changing a price or adding a new service feels like a technical nightmare, the platform is wrong for your business.
What a redesign includes
Everything Your Old Website Is Missing, Built Right This Time
A website redesign from 1st Web Design isn’t a cosmetic refresh — it’s a complete rebuild on a solid WordPress foundation, optimised for speed, mobile, and local Bloemfontein search results from day one.
We migrate your existing content, keep your domain and any search rankings you’ve already earned, and launch a new site that actually works for your business.

- WordPress rebuild — fast, secure, and easy for you to update yourself
- LiteSpeed hosting — your new site loads fast for South African visitors

- Google Analytics & Search Console setup — so you can track your growth
- WhatsApp chat button — make it easy for customers to reach you instantly

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a website redesign cost in Bloemfontein?
Our redesign packages start at R2,500 for a starter refresh, up to R7,000 for a fully custom premium rebuild. The right package depends on how many pages you have, how much content needs migrating, and which features your business needs. We always provide a clear quote upfront.
Will I lose my Google rankings during a redesign?
Not if it’s done correctly. We preserve your existing URL structure where possible, migrate all your content, and set up proper redirects if any URLs need to change. In most cases a well-executed redesign improves your rankings rather than hurting them.
Do you keep my existing content?
Yes. We migrate your existing pages, text, images, and any other content across to the new site. If you want to update or rewrite any of your content as part of the redesign, we can help with that too — our Premium package includes copywriting assistance.
How long does a website redesign take?
Most redesigns are completed within 10–21 business days from when we receive your content, logo, and brief. Larger sites with more pages take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in your quote and keep you updated throughout the process.
Can you redesign any type of website?
We redesign WordPress sites, old HTML sites, Wix sites, Squarespace sites, and sites built on any other platform — rebuilding everything cleanly on WordPress so you own it outright and can update it easily going forward.
Do you include hosting after the redesign?
Yes. We offer local South African website hosting and business email hosting as affordable monthly add-ons. Everything — your domain, your website, and your professional email addresses — is managed in one place by our Bloemfontein team.
Will my new site work on mobile phones?
Every site we build is fully responsive and mobile-first. It will look and work correctly on iPhones, Android devices, tablets, and desktops — and Google will recognise it as mobile-friendly, which helps your search rankings.
Do you work with businesses outside Bloemfontein?
Absolutely. We’re based in Bloemfontein but we redesign websites for businesses across South Africa — from Cape Town and Johannesburg to Durban, Pretoria, and everywhere in between. Everything is handled remotely with no disruption to your business.
