REDESIGN, MAINTENANCE & SPEED

Redesign, Maintenance & Speed

Have an existing website that looks outdated, loads slowly or needs ongoing attention? Find answers about website redesign, maintenance, performance and keeping your website working effectively.

When should I consider redesigning my website?

A website redesign may be worth considering when your site looks outdated, is difficult to use on mobile devices, no longer reflects your business, is difficult to update, performs poorly or is no longer supporting your business goals. A redesign should improve the website’s usability, structure and overall effectiveness rather than simply changing its appearance.

Can Axis Media redesign my existing WordPress website?

Yes. Axis Media can redesign existing WordPress websites while considering the current content, structure, functionality and business requirements. Before making changes, we assess what should be retained, improved or replaced so the redesigned website has a clear purpose and a better user experience.

Will a website redesign affect my Google rankings?

A redesign can affect search visibility if important URLs, content, metadata, internal links or other SEO elements are changed incorrectly. Axis Media considers search readiness during the redesign process and aims to preserve important existing SEO signals while improving the website’s structure, usability and performance. Where applicable, redirects and other technical considerations should be planned before launch.

Does Axis Media provide website maintenance after launch?

Yes. Website maintenance can include content updates, WordPress and plugin updates, security-related checks, backups, troubleshooting, performance improvements and other ongoing website support, depending on the agreed maintenance scope.

Can you help improve a slow website?

Yes. Axis Media can assess common causes of website performance problems and recommend improvements based on the website’s setup. Depending on the situation, this may involve image optimisation, reducing unnecessary resources, improving page structure, caching configuration and other performance-related improvements.

Do I need a complete redesign if my website is slow?

Not necessarily. Website speed problems can have different causes, and a complete redesign is not always the right solution. If the existing website is otherwise suitable for your business, targeted performance improvements may be more appropriate. We can assess the current website before recommending whether optimisation, maintenance or a broader redesign makes sense.

SEO & GOOGLE BUSINESS PROFILE

SEO & Google Business Profile

Understand how SEO and Google Business Profile optimisation can support your online visibility, local presence and ability to be found by potential customers.

What SEO services does Axis Media provide?

Axis Media provides SEO services focused on improving a website’s search readiness and online visibility. Depending on the project, this can include keyword and content considerations, on-page optimisation, technical SEO fundamentals, internal linking, local SEO and other improvements based on the business’s goals.

Can Axis Media help improve my website's Google visibility?

Yes. Axis Media can improve the elements of a website that support search visibility, including content structure, page titles, headings, internal links, technical fundamentals and other on-page SEO factors. Search performance depends on many factors, including competition, website quality, relevance and how consistently the site is maintained.

Does SEO guarantee first-page or #1 Google rankings?

No. No legitimate SEO provider can guarantee a specific Google ranking or a permanent position in search results. Search rankings depend on factors such as competition, relevance, website quality, search behaviour and ongoing changes to search systems. A good SEO strategy focuses on improving visibility, relevance, technical quality and the overall usefulness of the website.

What is Google Business Profile optimisation?

Google Business Profile optimisation involves improving and maintaining the information customers see about a business on Google, such as its business details, services, categories, description, photos and other relevant profile information. A well-maintained profile can help customers discover a local business and understand what it offers.

Can you help optimise my Google Business Profile for local search?

Yes. Axis Media can help businesses improve the accuracy, completeness and relevance of their Google Business Profile information for local search. This may include profile information, categories, services, business description and other profile elements. Local search visibility also depends on factors beyond the profile itself, including relevance, prominence and the quality of the overall online presence.

How long does SEO take to show results?

SEO does not have a fixed timeline for results. Changes can take time to be crawled, indexed and evaluated, and the timeframe varies depending on the website, competition, search demand, existing authority and the work being carried out. SEO should generally be viewed as an ongoing process rather than a one-time change with an immediate result.

Do I need SEO if I already have a well-designed website?

A well-designed website provides a strong foundation, but design alone does not guarantee search visibility. SEO helps search engines understand your content and can improve how your pages are structured and presented for relevant searches. Depending on your goals, SEO can complement website design through content, technical improvements, internal linking and ongoing optimisation.

Yes. Existing logos and graphic materials can be reviewed and redesigned when they no longer represent the business effectively or need a more modern and consistent visual direction. The approach depends on what should be retained, improved or completely reworked.

Can you maintain consistent branding across different business materials?

Yes. Consistency can be maintained by applying the same visual direction, colours, typography and design principles across relevant business materials. This can help different materials feel like part of the same brand while remaining appropriate for their individual purposes.

PRICING, TIMELINES & PROCESS

Pricing, Timelines & Process

Understand how Axis Media approaches project pricing, timelines, quotations, revisions and the process from your first enquiry to project completion.

How much does a website cost at Axis Media?

Website pricing depends on factors such as the number of pages, design requirements, functionality, content, integrations and the level of support needed. Rather than using one price for every project, Axis Media provides a quotation based on your specific requirements.

How do I get a website design quote from Axis Media?

You can request a free quote by sharing your business requirements, preferred services, project details and other relevant information through the Request a Free Quote page. Axis Media reviews the enquiry and can then discuss the appropriate solution and project scope with you.

How long does it take to build a website?

Website timelines vary depending on the project’s size, number of pages, functionality, content readiness and feedback process. A straightforward business website may take less time than a larger or more customised project. A more specific timeline can be discussed once the project requirements are understood.

What happens after I request a quote?

After you submit your enquiry, Axis Media reviews your requirements and contacts you to clarify the project where necessary. We then discuss the appropriate solution, scope, recommendations and quotation before moving forward with the project.

How many revisions are included in a project?

The number of revisions depends on the type and scope of the project and is discussed as part of the project agreement. The goal is to establish a clear design direction early so that feedback can be handled efficiently without unnecessary delays.

Do you require an advance payment to start a project?

Payment terms depend on the project scope and agreed quotation. The payment schedule, applicable advance and other commercial terms are communicated clearly before the project begins.

How do I get started with Axis Media?

Start by sharing your requirements through the Request a Free Quote page or by contacting Axis Media directly. We can then understand your goals, discuss the appropriate service and determine the next steps for your project.

HOSTING, DOMAINS & SUPPORT

Hosting, Domains & Support

Find answers about domain registration, web hosting, website support and what happens when you need help managing your website after launch.

Can Axis Media help with domain registration and web hosting?

Yes. Axis Media can help with domain registration and web hosting requirements, including provider selection, setup, recommendations and related support. Hosting is arranged through third-party providers rather than Axis Media-owned infrastructure, and the appropriate option depends on your website requirements and technical needs.

Do I need to buy my domain and hosting separately?

A domain and web hosting are two different services. Your domain is the web address visitors use to reach your website, while hosting provides the server environment where the website files and related resources are stored. They can be managed separately or arranged together depending on your requirements.

Can Axis Media help me move an existing website to new hosting?

Yes. Axis Media can assist with website migration when moving an existing website to a different hosting environment. The process depends on the website platform, hosting setup, domain configuration, email requirements and other technical factors.

You can continue using your existing domain and hosting if they are suitable for your website requirements. Axis Media can work with your existing setup where technically appropriate and can recommend changes if the current hosting environment creates performance, security, reliability or compatibility concerns.

Does website hosting include website maintenance?

No. Hosting and website maintenance are different services. Hosting provides the environment where your website operates, while maintenance involves activities such as updates, troubleshooting, security-related checks, backups, content changes and ongoing improvements. Depending on your requirements, you may need one or both.

Can I get help with my website after it is launched?

Yes. Axis Media can provide ongoing website support depending on the type of assistance required. Support may include website updates, troubleshooting, maintenance, performance improvements and other agreed tasks.
