Should I redesign my website or start over?
It depends on the foundation, not the paint. If the site is fast, ranks for something, and just looks dated, a redesign can work. If it is slow, invisible in search, or built on a platform that fights every change, a rebuild costs less than dragging the old problems forward.
Run the structural test. Does it load fast on a phone. Does it rank for anything. Can pages be added easily. Three yeses point to redesign. Two or more nos point to rebuild.
The trap is the cosmetic redesign of a broken foundation. New skin on a slow, unrankable site buys a year of looking better while still losing customers. The money moves nothing that matters.
Either way, keep what works. Pages that rank keep their addresses or get proper redirects. A rebuild done right keeps every bit of search value the old site earned.
