Website refresh Colchester

Website refresh in Colchester — modernise without losing SEO

Pettifer Works delivers website refreshes for Colchester businesses — modern design, Core Web Vitals focus, SEO preservation, and Cloud Run hosting from £15/month.

If your Colchester business website looks dated, loads slowly, or fails on mobile, a refresh often beats patching an old WordPress install. We rebuild on modern Next.js code — preserving URLs and search rankings where possible — while improving design, speed, and conversion paths for local customers.

Built in Colchester, serving UK businesses.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will a website refresh hurt my Google rankings?

+
Not if done properly. We map existing URLs, set up redirects where needed, and preserve titles and content structure. Most clients see improved rankings after speed and mobile fixes.

Refresh vs full rebuild — what is the difference?

+
A refresh modernises design and code while keeping your core structure. A full rebuild suits platforms that cannot be maintained or when you need new architecture (portals, calculators, multi-audience funnels).

How much does a website refresh cost in Colchester?

+
From £250 for a focused refresh of a small site, up to £999+ for larger rebuilds. We review your current site and quote to scope before starting.

Can you take over hosting from my current provider?

+
Yes. We deploy to Google Cloud Run, connect your domain, and handle SSL. Managed hosting from £15/month.

Do you work with WordPress sites?

+
We typically rebuild on Next.js for performance and ownership. We can migrate content from WordPress and redirect old URLs.
