Website redesign · Canada
We redesign Canadian websites on WordPress, keeping the content, rankings and domain you have built while fixing what holds the site back. A redesign is also the natural moment to add French and meet accessibility standards properly.
Most redesigns start with frustration: the site looks dated, editing is painful, or it fails an accessibility review. The risk is that in fixing those problems you throw away years of search visibility and useful content. A good redesign keeps the value and replaces the friction.
We begin every redesign with an audit of what you have, then rebuild on WordPress on your existing domain. When Verbatim and WL Construction came to us, we carried their content over to the rebuilt sites rather than starting from a blank page.
We crawl the current site, review analytics and search data, and list every page, file, form and integration. We note what performs, what is outdated and what nobody uses. We also run an accessibility review against WCAG 2.1 AA and check privacy basics such as consent and cookie behaviour. The audit becomes the brief, so design choices rest on evidence rather than taste.
Every existing URL gets a decision: keep, redirect or retire. We build a full redirect map, carry over titles, descriptions and structured data, and test it before launch. The new site stays on your existing domain, whether that is a .ca or a .com, which avoids the extra risk of a domain change. After launch we watch crawl errors and search data closely and fix anything that slips.
Many older Canadian sites added French as an afterthought, with missing pages or untranslated forms. If you serve Quebec consumers, the Charter of the French language expects the same information in French. A redesign lets us build a proper bilingual structure, with content you or your translator provide or approve. It is also the time to meet WCAG 2.1 AA throughout, which covers the WCAG 2.0 AA level Ontario's AODA sets for larger organisations.
Canadian public bodies, schools and non-profits often run a formal request for proposal. We respond to the questions as written, state plainly that we are a remote team based in Nigeria, explain how we schedule work across time zones, and set out accessibility, privacy and hosting approaches. Where an RFP asks for Canadian data residency, we propose hosting in a Canadian data centre through our partners.
A redesign usually combines Strategy & Design, from $1,500, with Development, from $5,000, both in US dollars. Content migration is planned inside the project rather than quoted separately. The written scope sets milestones and review points, and a Canadian dollar reference figure is available on request. Running costs after launch, such as hosting and care, are listed separately so the total is clear before you commit.

Verbatim and WL Construction were redesigns of existing sites, with their content carried over to the rebuilt WordPress sites.
A planned redesign should protect them. We map every old URL to its new home, set permanent redirects, keep metadata and monitor search data after launch. Some short-term movement is normal, but planned redesigns avoid lasting losses. We report on rankings and crawl errors in the weeks after launch.
Yes, and we recommend it. Keeping your domain avoids the risk of a domain change. The domain stays registered in your organisation's name throughout. If you are moving from a .com to a .ca at the same time, we handle the change of address and keep the old domain redirecting.
Yes. Send the RFP and we will answer it as written, raise any questions, and set out our approach to accessibility, privacy, hosting and time zones. We are clear in every proposal that our team works remotely from Nigeria. We also list the hosting location we propose.
Usually, yes. Building both languages into the new structure costs less than adding French later. We set up the multilingual site; the French content comes from you or your translator. Translation remains a separate cost you control, and we can work with your existing translator.
Most redesigns combine Strategy & Design from $1,500 and Development from $5,000, in US dollars. The final price depends on the size of the site, languages and features, and is confirmed in a written scope. If your approval process needs a figure in Canadian dollars, we provide one as a reference.
