GUIDE·Updated August 2026

What Platform Do We Use? None of them.

Clients often ask if we build on WordPress, Shopify, or Squarespace. The answer is simpler: we are platform-agnostic, applying a new design layer directly over your existing setup.

Quick answer

We don't use a platform. We deliver platform-agnostic, clean HTML/CSS/JS code built from one of our 6,600+ templates. A code-only redesign is $49 (same-day), code with revisions is $99 (48 hours), and a multi-template hosted site is $249 (7 days). Your existing CMS doesn't matter.

The first technical question in any website redesign project is usually “What platform are you using?” The answer often locks you into a specific ecosystem, a set of approved developers, and a rigid price structure. WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow—each comes with its own baggage.

We sidestep the question entirely. Our process separates the visual design layer from the underlying content management system (CMS). We focus only on what your visitors see: a fast, modern, and compelling design, delivered as clean code.

Your Platform Doesn't Dictate Your Design.

A website has two parts: the front-end (the design your users see) and the back-end (the system you use to manage content). Traditional redesigns rebuild both, a complex and expensive process. We focus exclusively on the front-end.

We take your existing content and images and fit them into one of the more than 6,600 designs already in our library, which grows daily. The output is a simple, clean vanilla HTML/CSS/JS site: plain, self-contained files. You get the code. This code can be hosted anywhere for pennies, or a developer can integrate it as a new theme into your existing CMS. Your platform becomes irrelevant to the design process.

This is our core differentiator. By decoupling design from platform, we eliminate the biggest source of friction, cost, and delay in the redesign process.

A Traditional Redesign Costs Thousands and Takes Months.

The agency model for website redesign is broken for most small businesses. According to Levitate, the typical cost for a small business website redesign in 2026 is between $5,000 and $15,000. For larger custom sites, that number can swell to $50,000 to $250,000+ (HubSpot Blog, 2025).

The timeline is just as painful. Connective Web Design states that a large custom redesign can take 6-12 months. This process involves proposals, discovery calls, wireframing, multiple design iterations, and lengthy development cycles.

For a business that just needs a visual refresh—not a ground-up custom application—this is overkill.

Our take

If your content is solid but your design is dated, you don't need a 3-month, $10,000 project. You need a new visual layer. Our model delivers exactly that for a fixed price, in as little as 48 hours. Experts recommend a redesign every 2-3 years; our pricing makes that feasible.

We Deliver Clean Code, Not Platform Bloat.

Users form a first impression in as little as 50 milliseconds, according to Google Research. Stanford found that 46.1% of people say a website's design is the top criterion for discerning a business's credibility. Speed is equally critical: Google data shows 53% of mobile visitors will abandon a page that takes longer than 3 seconds to load.

Platform-built sites are often slow. They load excessive code to power drag-and-drop editors and plugins you don't even use. Our approach is the opposite. We deliver minimal, clean code focused on one thing: rendering your design as fast as possible. The goal is a load time of 2.5 seconds or less, meeting modern web standards.

How does this work with my existing WordPress/Shopify site?

Simple. We use your live site as the source for content and images. We build the new design in clean code, separate from your platform. You receive this code package. You can then host this as a super-fast static site or provide the code to a developer to integrate as a new theme into your WordPress or Shopify backend. You are in full control.

Do I lose my content or SEO?

No. We build the initial draft using your existing content. Since the code is clean and fast-loading, a redesign from us often improves SEO metrics like Core Web Vitals. You keep your domain, your URLs, and your content. We just replace the visual shell.

What if I need to make changes later?

You own the code. It’s written in standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Any developer in the world can open the files and make changes. You are never locked into our service or a proprietary platform.

When this isn't right for you

Our service is not a universal solution. We are the wrong choice if:

  • You need a complex, custom web application with deep backend functionality.
  • You require dynamic, real-time integrations with multiple third-party APIs.
  • You want to personally manage page layouts in a drag-and-drop editor after we deliver the code. Our deliverable is the final code, not a builder tool.
  • You need a complete content strategy and full website copywriting from scratch. Outsourcing this alone typically costs $5,000 to $15,000, according to the AWAI 2026 Copywriting Pricing Guide.

We are built for businesses that have their content and strategy in place but need a professional, fast, and affordable design execution.

If that's you, your platform doesn't matter. Your design does.

Frequently asked questions

How does this work with my existing WordPress/Shopify site?
We use your existing site's content and images to build a new front-end with clean HTML/CSS/JS. You receive this code and can have any developer integrate it as a new theme into your CMS. For many businesses, the fast, static version we provide is all they need and can be hosted anywhere.
Will I lose my content or SEO ranking?
No. The initial draft is built with your existing content. Because we deliver clean, fast-loading code, a redesign often improves SEO performance. You maintain your domain, URLs, and all your original content.
What if I need to make changes to the website later?
You get the code. It's standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, not a proprietary system. Any web developer can edit it. You are not locked into our service.
Are you a DIY website builder like Squarespace or Wix?
No. We are a done-for-you service. We do the work of rebuilding your site's front-end with a new design. You receive the final code, not a tool to build it yourself.
