Website relaunch

Website relaunch that protects rankings, forms, and analytics.

We take responsibility for the live platform. Rankings, forms, and editor access stay protected so marketing can publish without waiting on an agency.

After the relaunch, we stay on as fractional CTO / full TechOps: development, maintenance, operations, publishing.

What changes during a website relaunch

The design changes. The working parts must move too.

Your current website has accumulated search rankings, backlinks, campaign URLs, form destinations, consent rules, analytics events, and publishing habits. A new design does not carry those across automatically.

Traffic often drops when old URLs 404, canonicals point at the wrong page, or analytics and consent break on launch day. Before design starts, we record the current URLs and measurement setup. Most of the sites we relaunch are WordPress.

Pre-launch we test the redirect map, forms, consent, analytics, mobile performance, and inquiry pages. After go-live we monitor crawling, indexation, rankings, forms, and conversion data for six weeks. Your team sees what changed and which issues need correction.

Website relaunch risks

Three things to test before launch day.

Search console showing ranking drop after a site migration

Every useful old URL needs a tested destination

We map old pages to the most relevant new page, preserve canonical signals, and test the redirect list before launch. After launch, we check crawl errors and indexation.

Analytics dashboard showing a broken conversion funnel after relaunch

Forms and analytics must survive the move

We test form delivery, CRM handoffs, consent choices, analytics events, and confirmation pages on the production setup. Launch is incomplete when an inquiry disappears.

User testing showing confusion with a redesigned navigation structure

Key buying paths need a pre-launch check

We review the route from search or campaign page to the main call to action, form, and confirmation. Mobile navigation, content order, and form friction are checked before traffic reaches the new site.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before a website relaunch.

How much does a B2B website relaunch cost?

A focused relaunch for a German SME commonly starts around €15,000. A custom, multilingual build with content migration and integrations often runs from €15,000 to €30,000 or more. Content volume, approval rounds, integrations, and migration risk drive the price. See the detailed website relaunch cost guide.

Is a site relaunch the same as a website relaunch?

Yes. Buyers use both phrases for the same job: replacing or migrating a live site while protecting rankings, analytics, and conversion. This page covers that site relaunch scope end to end.

How do you protect SEO during a relaunch?

Before any URL or structure changes, we audit existing rankings and traffic. Redirect mapping is defined before development starts. Canonicals, sitemaps, and robots rules are checked against the map. Post-launch, we monitor crawl errors, index coverage, and ranking movement for a minimum of six weeks.

Can a website relaunch keep existing rankings?

Rankings can move while Google processes URL changes. We reduce that risk with a complete redirect map, matching titles and content where the page job stays the same, and six weeks of Search Console monitoring after launch. Google warns that fluctuations can still occur during processing.

Do we need a full rebuild or can we improve what we have?

Many teams do not need a full rebuild. A content, performance, and UX audit often identifies targeted improvements that deliver faster results than starting from scratch. We scope the minimum viable change that fixes the business problem. If you want that written before a rebuild, start with the Website Relaunch Diagnostic: €1,500 over five days, credited if you proceed.

What typically goes wrong in a website relaunch?

Common failures include missing redirects, forms that stop delivering, analytics events that disappear, slower mobile pages, and content that arrives too late for testing. We put each item into the launch checklist and verify it on the production setup.

How long does a relaunch take?

Planning normally takes two to three weeks. Design, build, content migration, and testing usually take six to twelve weeks, depending on page count, languages, integrations, and approval time. We then monitor the live site for six weeks.
