Redesign · Whitby
Rebuilding a site
in Whitby.
Of the 1,094 working business websites we opened in Whitby, 273 are visibly out of date and 113 still date themselves in the footer. Most of them do not need replacing — they need three things fixed, and we say which before quoting.
These are counts, not projections. 1,544 Whitby listings, 1,094 working websites opened and read.
When a rebuild is the answer in Whitby
Three faults cannot be patched: no mobile layout at all (31 sites here), a platform nobody maintains (3), and a page that never says what the business does. Everything else is usually cheaper to repair than to replace.
When it is not
If the pages are fine and nobody can find them, that is a search and listing problem and a new site will not touch it. 456 sites in Whitby have page titles that never name the city — that is a morning of work, not a rebuild.
What we keep
The domain, the rankings and the text that already works. A rebuild that drops the addresses people link to is how businesses lose the traffic they had. 392 of the 1,094 sites here are WordPress, which migrates cleanly when it is planned.
Trade by trade
Insurance brokers lead
the list in Whitby.
Broken out by trade, because the Whitby average hides a lot. The gap between insurance brokers at 13 and HVAC contractors at 8 is most of the story.

Questions
Straight answers.
How many businesses in Whitby have an outdated website?
We opened 1,094 working sites in Whitby and 273 of them are visibly dated — old layouts, no mobile version, or a copyright line years behind. A further 67 link to a site that does not load at all.
Will a rebuild lose my Google rankings?
Not if every old address is mapped and redirected, which is the first thing we plan. Rankings usually wobble for a week or two after any rebuild and settle back.
Before you decide anything
Find out whether
you have a problem.
Most people asking about a rebuild do not need one. The free check opens your site, looks at how it behaves on a phone, whether it is secure and how old the page is, and tells you which of those apply to you.
