FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about website relaunches and our approach at Penitus.
How long does a typical website relaunch take?
Project timelines vary based on complexity, but most website relaunches take between 3-6 months from initial planning to launch. Smaller projects with limited scope may be completed in 2-3 months, while complex enterprise sites can take 6-12 months. During our initial consultation, we'll provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific requirements and constraints.
Will we lose our search engine rankings during a relaunch?
With proper planning and execution, your search rankings should be preserved and often improved during a relaunch. We implement a comprehensive SEO migration strategy that includes URL mapping, proper redirects, content preservation, and technical SEO best practices. We also closely monitor your search performance after launch to quickly address any issues that might arise.
How do you handle content during a website relaunch?
Content migration is a critical part of our process. We begin with a content audit to identify what should be kept, updated, or removed. We then create a structured migration plan that preserves SEO value while improving organization and user experience. Our team can handle the entire migration process or work with your content team to manage the transition efficiently.
Can we continue updating our current website during the relaunch process?
Yes, your current website can remain fully operational during the relaunch development process. We establish a content freeze period only for the final migration phase, typically 1-2 weeks before launch. During this period, any necessary updates can be made to both the old and new sites to ensure no content is lost during the transition.
How do you ensure the new website will perform better than our current one?
We establish clear performance metrics at the beginning of the project based on your business objectives. Throughout the relaunch process, we implement best practices for performance, user experience, and conversion optimization. After launch, we conduct ongoing analysis and refinement to continuously improve results. This data-driven approach ensures the new website delivers measurable improvements over your previous site.
What involvement is required from our team during the relaunch?
Successful relaunches require collaboration. Typically, we need involvement from your team for initial discovery and strategy sessions, content decisions, review and feedback at key milestones, and testing prior to launch. We'll establish clear responsibilities and time commitments at the project outset. Our goal is to minimize disruption to your team while ensuring the relaunch aligns perfectly with your business needs.
