Website redesign checklist for a small business

A practical checklist for rebuilding a small business website without losing what's working — or your search rankings.

Before you start

  • List what’s working and what isn’t on the current site
  • Note the pages and URLs that already get traffic
  • Gather your logo, photos and any current copy

What a good rebuild keeps

  • Your existing domain and any earned search equity (with proper redirects)
  • The content that already brings in enquiries
  • A clear, mobile-first structure

What to fix

  • Slow load times and anything broken on mobile
  • Unclear messaging — say what you do, where, and the next step
  • Buried contact details and weak enquiry paths

Don’t forget

  • Redirects from old URLs to new ones
  • Updated business details everywhere
  • Clean technical SEO foundations
