It comes down to whether your foundation is worth keeping. Here's how to tell.
It comes down to whether your current foundation is worth keeping. A redesign refreshes the look, structure and experience while keeping a sound foundation — faster, cheaper and lower risk.
A rebuild from scratch is worth it when the platform or technology is holding you back so much that patching no longer makes sense.
When your site works and the platform serves you well, but it looks dated, reads poorly, or doesn't convert.
Redesigning keeps what's working, protects your rankings, and gets you a better site in less time and for less money than starting over.
When the platform, technology, or build is so limiting that it's fighting you — you can't get the performance, features or control you need, it's unstable, or it's built on something that can't grow with you.
If the foundation can't do the job, no amount of redesign will fix it. That's when a rebuild becomes the honest answer.
A rebuild is bigger, costlier and riskier — it can mean moving platforms, rebuilding content and carefully protecting your SEO.
A redesign is lighter but can't cure a platform that won't do what you need. Redesign buys a better version of what you have; rebuild buys a foundation that can take you further.
Ask whether the thing holding you back is the look and experience, or the platform under it.
If it's mostly how it looks and reads, redesign. If the platform itself is the problem — slow, unstable, inflexible — rebuild. When you're unsure, an honest assessment of your site will tell you.
