A website redesign agency for slow, creaky sites
New site, same rankings, a lot less waiting
Foundry is a website redesign agency in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, that rebuilds slow WordPress sites in fast, hand-written Next.js code without throwing away the rankings you've earned.

It suits UK businesses whose site is slow, hard to edit or full of plugins nobody dares update. Websites start from £499 + VAT, and our average is 5 days from kick-off to live.

Why rebuild rather than patch WordPress
A rebuild makes sense when you're paying, every month, for the way the old site was built.
Speed
Pages served as plain, pre-built HTML load fast, with no database or plugin stack to wait on.
Fewer things to break
No plugins to update every week, and much less for attackers to aim at.
Easier editing
Simple editing for the pages you change often, without a page builder in the way.
Cleaner SEO
Every word in the HTML, tidy URLs and schema built in, so Google and AI assistants can read it.
WordPress migration without losing rankings
The bit most redesigns get wrong
- URL mapEvery page, post and image URL listed, with its traffic and links, before we design anything.
- Keep what ranksPages that bring in visits keep their content, titles and headings, improved rather than rewritten from scratch.
- 301 redirectsEvery old URL that changes points to its closest new page, tested before launch.
- Schema and meta carried overTitles, descriptions and structured data rebuilt, not lost.
- Checked after launchSearch Console and Bing watched for crawl errors and dropped pages, and fixed fast.

How a website rebuild runs
- Day 1
Kick-off and audit
We crawl the old site, pull the traffic data and agree what stays, what goes and what's new.
- Next
Copy and structure
Homepage and key pages written first, with the URL map signed off.
- Then
Design and build
A live preview link, not a PDF. Feedback in WhatsApp, Slack or email.
- Before launch
Redirects and checks
Every redirect tested, forms and tracking checked on real phones.
- Launch
Live
Domain switched, sitemaps submitted and Search Console watched in the weeks after.
Our website average is 5 days kick-off to live. Larger sites take longer, and the clock moves as fast as sign-off.

Website redesign FAQs
Not if the move is planned. We keep the content that ranks, redirect every old URL to its new page and watch Search Console after launch. A short wobble while Google recrawls is normal, and we fix anything that drops.
Websites start from £499 + VAT. Bigger sites, lots of content to move and custom features cost more. We give you a fixed price in writing after a short call.
Our average is 5 days from kick-off to live. Sites with hundreds of pages or posts take longer, and we agree the date up front.
Yes. We set up simple editing for the pages you change often and show you how. Or send changes to us.
They move across with their URLs, or with redirects if the URLs change. Posts that bring in traffic keep their content.
It lets us pre-build every page as plain HTML that loads fast and is easy for search engines and AI assistants to read, with far less to update and secure than a plugin-heavy WordPress site.
Either. Most clients want a refresh while we're in there, but we can rebuild the current design in faster code.
