Website redesign
We redesign Zambian websites on WordPress without losing what already works. An audit comes first, your rankings and links are protected, and the new site launches on the domain you already own.
A tired website costs more than its looks suggest. Visitors on phones struggle to find contact details, staff stop updating news, and the site quietly falls behind on security and payment options that Zambian customers now expect.
Our redesigns start with evidence rather than taste. We study what your current site does well and badly, then rebuild on WordPress so your team can manage it confidently after launch.
We review analytics, search data, page speed on mobile connections, forms, payment routes and the content itself. You receive a written summary that separates what should stay, what should change and what should go. For some Zambian organisations the right answer is a full rebuild; for others a refresh of key templates and a content tidy-up achieves most of the gain at lower cost. We recommend the option the evidence supports.
Over the years your pages collect search rankings and links from partners, directories and social posts. If those addresses break, visitors meet error pages. We list every URL with traffic or links, keep the ones that work, and set permanent redirects for anything that moves. After launch we watch search console for errors and correct them, so a new design does not cost you visibility.
Many older Zambian sites were built when online payment meant cards only, or no payment at all. A redesign is a natural moment to add Flutterwave mobile money, so customers can pay in kwacha from MTN, Airtel or Zamtel wallets, alongside cards through a gateway such as DPO Pay. If you sell subscriptions or digital products, we also flag the VAT rules on electronic services so your accountant can confirm the right settings.
Many sites still running today were built before Zambia's Data Protection Act 2021 came into force. They often collect more than they need, store submissions indefinitely and carry no privacy notice. In the redesign we cut unnecessary fields, add consent wording, set retention rules and document where data and backups are stored, which matters because the Act's default is storage in Zambia. That record supports your registration with the Data Protection Commissioner.
The new site is built on a private staging copy while the old one keeps running. Your .co.zm or .com domain stays in your organisation's name, and email continues untouched. We switch over at a quiet hour in Central Africa Time, keep the old site available as a fallback, and check forms, payments and redirects straight afterwards. Redesigns start from $1,500 for design-led work, or $5,000 where new functionality is involved.

Our corporate redesigns for Verbatim and WL Construction show how our team refreshes an established organisation's site while keeping the content and structure its audience already relies on.
The audit answers that. If the structure and platform are sound, targeted fixes and a visual refresh may be enough. If the site is hard to edit, slow on phones or unable to take the payments you need, a redesign usually pays off. We give you both options with reasons.
It should not if redirects and content are handled carefully. We record every page that earns traffic or links, keep useful URLs and redirect the rest. Some movement in the first weeks is normal; we monitor search console and fix any errors quickly.
Yes. Moving from another platform to WordPress adds a migration step, which we scope alongside the redesign. Migrations start from $1,000. We confirm during the audit what content the old platform can export and what will need rebuilding by hand.
You review real pages on a staging site using your own phone and computer, and leave comments in a shared document or board. Because Lusaka is one hour ahead of Lagos, we can walk through feedback together on a call during your normal working day.
Design-led redesigns sit in Strategy and Design, starting from $1,500 per project. Redesigns that add a store, portal or custom features become development work from $5,000. We quote in USD after the audit, with a kwacha equivalent for internal approvals if helpful.
