Redesign vs refresh vs rebuild — definitions
Three words, three budgets. Agree which one you mean before taking quotes:
| Scope | What changes | Typical INR |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh | New theme or restyle, same URLs and content | ₹10,000–₹30,000 |
| Redesign | New visuals plus rethought UX, navigation, templates | ₹30,000–₹1,00,000 |
| Rebuild | New platform or architecture (replatforming) | ₹80,000–₹2,50,000+ |
Within each tier, scope movers are: page templates designed, copywriting (₹2,000–₹5,000 per page), new photography, and functionality like booking or payments. Freelancers land ₹15,000–₹80,000; agencies ₹50,000–₹3,00,000+. WebJi®'s design team quotes fixed prices by scope, and the full design-cost guide shows what each rupee buys.
Cost breakdown by site type and scope
How this plays out with UX audit: settings that look cosmetic usually decide page speed and uptime under real traffic. The defaults WebJi® ships are tuned for Indian network conditions, and support can review your setup on request.

Freelancer vs agency vs DIY costs
Freelancer and agency are not the same product. Freelancer is the option with less for you to operate. agency is the option with more control, and more that you have to look after. Choose by what happens when it breaks at night, and by the INR figure on this page. Email support@webji.services if you want that choice made against your actual site.
The SEO-survival plan — 301 map, staging, meta preservation
This plan separates a redesign from a traffic crater.
- Before design: crawl the site (Screaming Frog), export every indexed URL with its traffic and rankings, flag pages to keep, merge, redirect or drop.
- During build: stage on a noindex staging subdomain; preserve title tags, metas, H1s and schema where content survives; keep URL slugs unchanged wherever humanly possible.
- At launch: deploy a complete 301 map — old URL to its closest new page, never blanket redirects to the homepage. Update the sitemap, resubmit in Search Console, fix internal links.
- Weeks after: watch Page Indexing and Performance daily for a fortnight. 404 spikes mean a missed mapping.
Insist every 'redesign package' includes these items in writing — cheap quotes skip them, and Elementor or Gutenberg rebuilds change templates more than buyers expect.
Timeline — what actually takes the time
Timeline — what actually takes the time. Do the change this heading names on one site first, then check it in a private browser window or in the mail client, depending on the topic. Change one setting at a time, and undo it if the result is wrong before you try the next.

Redesign mistakes that kill rankings
Five mistakes account for most redesign traffic losses:
- Launching without the redirect map — weeks of 404s while Google drops pages.
- Deleting old pages without redirecting because 'they were stale' — they carried backlinks. Redirect first, then prune.
- Changing domain AND design simultaneously — never stack two migrations.
- Staging sites leaking into the index — noindex them before a single template ships.
- Retiring the old site before verifying the new one's analytics and Search Console tracking.
On quotes: demand a fixed-scope, fixed-price proposal listing the SEO-survival items explicitly. WebJi®'s design team quotes that way, and its migration service (₹700 per domain) carries the technical cutover for smaller projects.
Getting a fixed quote from WebJi®
On Core Web Vitals, the honest summary is that defaults matter more than brand names — a well-set budget plan outranks a mis-tuned premium one. WebJi® documents its defaults openly and adjusts them per ticket when workloads need it.
