Hotel website redesign: a new look, your Google rankings kept

No need to start from scratch. The new site builds on your current content, old URLs are redirected, and booking keeps working throughout the switch.

!Outdated technologyNot updated for a long time, or the browser shows a “not secure” warning.
!Missing language versionsInternational guests cannot understand the site and book on a portal instead.

What stays, what changes

What works stays. What is outdated gets replaced.

Stays

  • Your domain and business email
  • Your booking engine, with its current settings
  • The best of your texts and photos
  • The Google rankings you have built so far

New

  • Modern, mobile-first design with your own photos
  • Booking bar at the top of the homepage
  • Fast, secure, maintained technology
  • An editor to update offers yourself

Google rankings

Every old URL leads to the right place

We map your old page URLs one by one and redirect each to the matching new page (with a 301 redirect). That way Google and old links from other sites lead to the right place, and what you have built so far is preserved as fully as possible.

After the switch we monitor search data, and if anything drops, we fix it.

Frequently asked questions

Redesign in brief

Can we keep our current texts?

Yes. The concept is built from your current texts and photos, and where it helps, we suggest a version rewritten from the guest's point of view.

How long does the redesign take?

The concept is ready within 2 working days; the new site typically takes 3–6 weeks, depending on the number of languages and subpages.

Do we need to do anything in the meantime?

Very little: approve the concept, review the site on the test address, and provide access (domain, booking engine). We handle everything else.

Do you guarantee Google rankings?

Nobody can guarantee rankings. What we commit to: redirecting old URLs one by one, keeping the content, and monitoring after the switch so we can fix anything that drops.
