Website Relaunch: Without a plan, you’ll lose traffic. Not with us.

Website relaunch and redesign for WordPress or TYPO3. Includes comprehensive SEO redirect mapping. Starting at €5,400 (net). Dennis personally oversees the project.

Your website is outdated, slow, or no longer fits your business. It’s time for a relaunch. But if you relaunch your website without considering search engine visibility, you risk losing up to 95% of your traffic—we see this regularly in projects that were redesigned without SEO support.

We plan and guide your website relaunch from analysis through to go-live. Technology, design, content, and SEO—all from a single source. Whether you’re relaunching your website, redesigning your homepage, or switching to a completely new CMS: Dennis Hüttner personally oversees every relaunch project.

Distinction Between Terms

Redesign, relaunch, migration—which is the right choice?

Three terms, three different focuses.

01

Website Redesign

Focus on visual refresh: new design, revamped layout, modern look and feel. The technology and structure remain largely unchanged. Typical timeframe: 3–8 weeks.

02

Website Relaunch

Complete overhaul: new design plus new technology (often a new CMS), new site structure, content migration, SEO redirect mapping. The most comprehensive option. Typical timeframe: 6–12 weeks.

03

Website Migration / CMS Migration

Focus on technology migration—such as from WordPress to TYPO3 or vice versa. Design and content remain intact. Typical timeframe: 3–6 weeks.

When is it appropriate?

Five clear signs that it's time for a relaunch

If two or more of these points apply, a relaunch is likely the right move. Otherwise, website optimization is often sufficient.

  1. Period 01 / KW

    Technologically outdated

    The CMS no longer receives updates, has slow loading times, and has mobile issues.

  2. Period 02 / KW

    The design no longer fits

    The company has evolved, but the website looks like it's from 2015.

  3. Period 03 / KW

    You can't find yourself on Google

    Even though you offer great services, people can't find you—your structure, content, and technology aren't up to par.

  4. Period 04 / KW

    Content cannot be edited by the user

    Every change requires a developer—the system is too complicated.

  5. Period 05 / KW

    Request to switch CMS

    From TYPO3 to WordPress, or vice versa, or from a drag-and-drop builder to a professional system.

What does a relaunch entail?

Six building blocks

What happens during every relaunch.

  1. Period 01 / KW

    Analysis of the existing website

    Crawl with Screaming Frog, GSC analysis, identification of high-traffic pages. Details: SEO audit.

  2. Period 02 / KW

    Design + Concept

    Custom-designed—no templates. Site structure optimized for both visitors and Google. Responsive design, of course.

  3. Period 03 / KW

    Technical implementation

    WordPress or TYPO3. Clean code, fast loading times, security. For TYPO3 upgrades, see the v13 upgrade.

  4. Period 04 / KW

    SEO Redirect Mapping

    The most important thing: Don’t lose any traffic. Every old URL redirected to a new one—clean, complete, and verified. Indexing monitoring after go-live.

  5. Period 05 / KW

    Content Migration

    Existing content has been transferred, cleaned up, and revised where necessary. No text is lost. New content can be added upon request.

  6. Period 06 / KW

    Training + Handover

    Manage it yourself—or let us handle it for you with our website management service starting at €864/month.

Relaunch Process

Four phases leading up to go-live

Well-organized, transparent, and without any surprises.

// Step 01 / 4 · Dauer ~ 1–2 weeks

Analysis + Concept (1–2 weeks)

Prepare an assessment, define objectives, outline the site structure, develop a keyword strategy, and map out redirects. You’ll know in advance what will be built and how much it will cost.

Traffic Retention Commitment

Complete 301 redirect mapping

We guarantee complete 301 redirect mapping for all existing URLs with significant organic traffic (based on GSC data from the past 12 months). If, after the site goes live, redirect errors on our part result in a loss of more than 10% of organic traffic, we will resolve the issue at no additional cost—until the baseline is restored.

We cannot guarantee that the relaunch will improve your rankings—that depends on too many factors. The guarantee applies to maintaining traffic, not to improving rankings.

// RECEIVE TRAFFIC
max. 10% Verlust
Otherwise, free repair up to the baseline

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Website Relaunches

Five straightforward answers about risks, duration, and costs.

Will I lose my Google rankings when I relaunch my site?

Not with us. Complete 301 redirect mapping of all top URLs (GSC-verified), indexing monitoring after go-live, and a traffic retention guarantee of up to 10% loss. Those who relaunch without SEO support often lose 30–95% of their traffic—we see this all the time.

How long does a relaunch take?

Small: 4–6 weeks; Medium: 6–10 weeks; Large: 10–16 weeks. Migration without a redesign: 3–6 weeks. Depends on the decision-making process on your end.

How much does a website relaunch cost?

€5,400–€8,640 (small), €8,640–€16,200 (medium), €16,200–€35,000 (large). Migration: €5,400–€12,000. Fixed price following analysis; hourly rate of €108/h available.

What if I want to switch systems (TYPO3 → WordPress)?

A common scenario. We regularly migrate in both directions. URL structure, 301 redirects, content structure, schema markup—everything needs to be rethought. Allow 3–6 weeks for migration without a redesign, and 6–12 weeks for a complete relaunch.

What happens after the go-live?

4 weeks of post-launch support included in the project price: monitoring indexing, checking redirects, measuring performance. After that, transition to website maintenance starting at €864/month or full handover.
