FAQ
More on this question.
Do I need new branding before a redesign?
Not always. Some businesses need a clearer website first, while others benefit from pairing the redesign with a brand refresh.
Should I rewrite every page from scratch?
Only if the current copy is working against you. Often the better move is to simplify, clarify, and restructure what already exists.
What page should I fix first?
Usually the homepage, because it shapes trust and direction for the rest of the site.
