Why this matters

When improvement isn’t safe anymore

Sometimes an audit shows that a website can’t be improved reliably in its current state. Not because the content or design is wrong, but because the underlying structure is holding everything back.

This is common with websites built on page builders like Elementor or with heavily customised themes that are difficult to maintain. Updates become risky, performance is inconsistent, and even small changes take longer than they should.

In these cases, continuing to patch and optimise the existing site is often more expensive than fixing the root problem.

A rebuild gives us a clean, modern foundation, so future improvements can be delivered safely, quickly, and with confidence

What we mean by rebuild

Not a redesign. A structural reset.

Our rebuilds reuse your existing website as a reference, but move it onto the Branch Framework.

This is not a blank-sheet redesign. We don’t throw away what already works.

Instead, we rebuild your website using our Branch Framework, which is based on custom ACF-powered Gutenberg blocks. This gives you access to a consistent library of well-tested blocks that are fast, accessible, and easy to extend.

Your rebuilt website won’t look identical to the old one, but it will feel familiar. Layouts, content, and structure are mapped carefully onto our block system so nothing feels alien to your users or your team.

The result is a website that’s easier to maintain, easier to improve, and far more reliable as a long-term platform.

What the rebuild gives you

A modern foundation, ready for improvement

Branch Framework

A consistent, reliable foundation built for long-term improvement.

  • Custom ACF Gutenberg blocks

Performance

Performance issues often disappear when the foundations are right.

  • Faster page loads by default
  • Leaner markup and assets
  • Mobile-first behaviour

Accessibility built into the blocks, not bolted on later.

  • WCAG-aware components
  • Consistent contrast and focus handling
  • Accessible content structures

Maintainability

Changes become safer, quicker, and less stressful.

  • Predictable update workflows
  • Reduced plugin dependency
  • Easier handover and ownership

Future Improvements

A rebuild creates space for everything that comes next.

  • Conversion improvements
  • New functionality
  • AI and automation readiness

Cost & Time

A faster alternative to a full redesign.

  • Typical delivery in 2–3 weeks
  • Lower cost than redesign projects
  • Fixed-scope, fixed-price delivery
How it works

A focused, low-disruption process

01

Define the scope

We agree what needs rebuilding based on the audit findings and your priorities.

02

Rebuild on our framework

Your content and layouts are rebuilt using our block system, keeping things familiar while improving the foundations.

03

Hand over and improve

Once live, the site is ready for ongoing improvements through our Website Improvements service.

Costs & options

Clear pricing, no surprises

Rebuilds are priced based on complexity, not guesswork.

Our rebuild projects typically start from £2,000 for smaller, simpler websites and range up to £10,000 for more complex sites or full e-commerce builds.

Every project is quoted at a fixed cost, agreed upfront, so you know exactly where you stand.

We can also provide managed website hosting, or you’re free to use your own hosting if you prefer.

If your website genuinely needs a full visual redesign rather than a structural rebuild, we’ll be upfront about that and can introduce you to trusted design partners. They can create the design, which we then build into our Branch Framework.

Questions

Common rebuild questions

Will the website look the same?

It won’t be identical, but it will feel familiar. We adapt your existing layouts to work cleanly within our block system.

Is this faster than a full redesign?

Yes. Rebuilds typically take 2–3 weeks, compared to 3+ months for a full redesign.

Why can’t you support Elementor?

Page builders add complexity and limit how safely we can improve a site long-term. Our framework removes those constraints.

Next step

Fix the foundations before investing further

If your website can’t be improved safely in its current state, a rebuild provides a faster, more cost-effective path forward than a full redesign.
