Website redesign cost in 2026

Real prices for a website redesign in the United States by who does the work, what pushes the budget up and when to rebuild the site from scratch.

DABy Derick Aguilar2026-09-258 min read

Quick answer: a website redesign in the United States costs $1,000 to $5,000 with a freelancer working on a builder like Wix, and $15,000 to $40,000 with a traditional agency for a small 10 to 20 page site. Copywriting is usually billed separately at $100 to $300 per page. At Bripe Media, the SEO Website Plan rebuilds your whole site for $1,200 one-time, ready in 7 to 14 days.

A redesign is not a new color palette. It means rebuilding your site so it loads fast on phones, explains each service clearly and shows up on Google when someone in your city searches for what you do. That is why prices vary so much: updating photos is not the same job as rebuilding a site with a page for each service and a blog. Here are the real ranges and how to decide.

What pushes the price of a redesign up

Five things move the budget more than anything else:

  1. Number of pages and distinct layouts. A homepage plus five services does not cost the same as forty pages with different designs.
  2. Content. If the agency writes the copy, it is usually billed separately at $100 to $300 per page.
  3. Photos and video. A professional photo shoot can run $3,000 to $15,000 through an agency. If you already have real photos of your work, that cost disappears.
  4. Migration and SEO. Moving the content that already works and redirecting old addresses keeps the traffic you have today.
  5. Custom features. Bookings, an online store or integrations with your software raise both price and timeline.

Redesign or build new: how to decide

If your site runs on Wix, GoDaddy or Squarespace, takes more than 3 seconds to open on a phone or lists every service on a single page, patching it usually costs more than rebuilding it. Google understands a site better when each service has its own page, title and FAQ.

If your site already loads fast, shows up on Google and you only want a more modern look, a design refresh is enough and costs far less than a full redesign.

What a redesign with Bripe Media includes

At Bripe Media we do not patch your old site: we rebuild it, ready for Google. The SEO Website Plan is $1,200 one-time, you start with 20% ($240) and it is ready in 7 to 14 days. It includes:

  • Custom design in your brand colors, built for phones and desktops.
  • One page for each main service.
  • Contact by WhatsApp, form or phone, plus your booking system if you use one.
  • Reviews, FAQ and a promotions page.
  • A blog built on the real questions your customers ask.
  • Keyword research for your city, local SEO and AI optimization.

If you serve several cities, the $1,600 plan adds a page for each city or area and listings on Bing Places, Apple Maps and Yelp. Every plan is on the pricing page.

How to keep your rankings when you redesign

  • List the pages that get traffic from Google today before you change anything.
  • Keep those addresses, or redirect each one to its new page.
  • Keep the titles that already work and improve the ones that do not.
  • Submit the new sitemap to Google Search Console on launch day.
