The 12 best website redesign services for small businesses in 2026, from agencies to AI

Kite is an AI marketer. It researches your business, builds a growth strategy, and ships the work that brings you new customers. A website makeover is one of the jobs it handles from start to finish, and you can work with Kite in your browser or in Slack. The fastest way to see what it would do with your site is the free AI website redesign tool. Enter your address, and in about a minute Kite shows you three new versions of your homepage made from your own site, with no sign-up.

Kite starts with an audit of the site you already have. It reads your pages, renders the ones that rely on JavaScript, and captures screenshots of each kind of page. It pulls out your logo, colors, fonts, and tone, measures speed and accessibility with PageSpeed data, and checks which pages rank in search and appear in AI answers. That audit decides what's worth keeping. As Kite's redesign guide puts it, "A pricing page that ranks well for your category keeps its address and its best copy. A homepage that still describes last year's product gets rewritten" (Kite).

Then Kite shows you three design directions next to your current homepage, and you can ask it to redo any one of them with your notes. Once you pick a direction, Kite rebuilds every page in it, not just the homepage. It adds, moves, or removes pages where the new structure calls for it, writes new copy where the old copy no longer fits, keeps the copy that's working, and updates your forms, calls to action, and navigation. It also lays out every page for phones and tablets. In the free tool's example, a made-up bakery's headline "Knead We Say More?" becomes "Fresh sourdough and pastries, baked every morning in Fairhaven," because a visitor should learn what you sell and where in the first line they read.

Your search rankings are part of the job:

• When a page moves to a new address, Kite redirects the old address to it.
• It carries over and improves page titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, and structured data.
• It updates your sitemap, your robots.txt file, and your llms.txt file, which tells AI systems what your site contains.
• It checks internal links so no page points to one that no longer exists.

Your current site stays live while you preview every redesigned page. You approve with the Publish button or a reply, and Kite publishes the changes together, checks each page, and checks the site's speed, search basics, and structured data shortly after launch. Publishing is reversible: you can undo a single change or restore the version of the site from before the redesign.

Where your site lives decides how Kite rebuilds it. A site on WordPress, Squarespace, or Wix is rebuilt as a new site that Kite hosts, using your existing pages, copy, and brand, and you point your domain at it when you're ready. A Next.js site in GitHub stays in your repository, and Kite pushes its changes there. A Webflow site stays in Webflow, and Kite tells you whether each change is staged or live.

What sets Kite apart from everything else on this list is what happens next. After launch, Kite compares the new site's traffic and conversions with the old site's, using its built-in analytics or your connected analytics account. If a page underperforms, it proposes a change and tests it against the original by splitting traffic between them. It also adds landing pages for campaigns, publishes articles, and fixes anything that breaks. Talentism, an executive coaching firm of about 20 people, moved its 260-page WordPress site to Kite without giving up the search equity it had built (Kite case study). Elliott Levine, a photographer whose site Kite redesigned, said: "My old site was a 4 out of 10. What I have now is probably an 8.5 or 9."

Pricing is per workspace, not per project. The free plan includes usage, and the Growth plan costs $100 a month with $100 in AI credits included (Kite pricing). A redesign draws on those credits like any other work, so a large site uses more than a small one, and connecting your own domain needs the Growth or Business plan. You can download your site's code at any time on any plan as a Next.js project that a developer can host anywhere (Kite documentation).

The trade-off is the move. If you want to keep editing your site inside WordPress, Squarespace, or Wix, Kite rebuilds it as a site it hosts rather than restyling it where it is. Kite is the strongest choice when you want one service to own the redesign and the marketing work that follows it.

Repaint is an AI website builder built for redesigning existing sites. You paste your address, and it imports your text, images, and pages, including groups of pages such as blog posts. It reads your live site, so it doesn't need access to your current editor, and it works with sites built on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and other platforms (Repaint). For a simple business site, Repaint says it can usually build the first version in a few minutes, and you can publish it the same day.

Repaint is the most explicit of the AI tools about search rankings. It says it can rebuild your pages at the same addresses, redirect visitors from any page that moves, and check for missing pages and broken links before launch. It also warns that "Rankings can still move while Google recrawls the site" (Repaint).

Plans start at $25 a month after a 14-day free trial, with Pro at $100 and Max at $200, each with a weekly allowance of AI usage (Repaint pricing). Two limits matter before you commit. Repaint doesn't offer code export, because your site runs on its platform (Repaint). And if you cancel, your workspace pauses and your websites go offline on every domain until you choose a plan again (Repaint). Its pages describe carrying your existing content over rather than rewriting your message, so a vague headline stays vague unless you ask for something better.

Macaly rebuilds an old site as a modern one from its address, carrying over your text, photos, phone number, address, and opening hours. Its agent reads your pages, takes screenshots to see how the site looked, and builds the homepage first, then asks what you want next (Macaly). Page titles, descriptions, and headings come along too. Its example shows a 2012 physiotherapy clinic site rebuilt so that the phone number is a tap-to-call button and the hours fit a phone screen.

Macaly handles a large site page by page. Links to the pages in your old menu "go on a list for the next steps," and Macaly suggests focusing on your most important pages first, since converting many pages costs more. Its redesign page doesn't say that it sets up redirects from old addresses, so check that before you switch a site with pages that rank.

Pricing is the lowest on this list. The free plan publishes on a macaly.app address, Starter adds your own domain for $10 a month, and Pro costs $30 a month (Macaly pricing). Unused monthly credits expire, and if you cancel a paid plan, sites on your own domain go offline. Macaly fits an owner with a small, dated site who mainly wants it to look modern and work on a phone.

Markio is an AI redesign tool made specifically for small local businesses. It reads your site for business details, services and prices, trust signals such as credentials and attributed testimonials, and your images and brand colors. Then it reworks the hierarchy, copy, and calls to action into a new draft that you review and revise in chat (Markio). It also includes tools for your Google Business Profile, which matters if most of your customers find you on Google Maps.

Markio is plain about its limits. It "does not automatically migrate booking systems, carts, custom integrations, or the original layout," and the owner "remains responsible for checking every published fact." The published site gets page titles, canonical URLs, a sitemap, and local-business structured data, but Markio says these "do not guarantee search rankings," and its redesign page doesn't describe how it handles redirects from old addresses.

Starter costs $29.99 a month for one site with 1,500 AI credits, and Pro costs $49 a month for up to three sites (Markio pricing). Its published rate card prices an initial site generation at 5 credits and an AI edit at 2, which makes costs easy to predict. The first preview is free with no card.

Wix now builds a new site from an existing one. In the Wix Harmony editor, you choose Create from URL and enter your address, and its AI assistant, Aria, "scans the site's structure, content, and visual style, then generates a new site you can review and keep customizing" (Wix). Aria brings over pages, text, images, links, colors, and public store product data, and your original site isn't changed.

That makes Wix a reasonable route if you're already on Wix or want to be. Paid plans start at $17 a month on yearly billing, and the Business plan costs $39 (Wix). Wix's help article says nothing about redirects or keeping search rankings, so plan that part yourself if your old site lives somewhere else. The larger commitment is the platform itself. Wix says your site "must run on Wix's servers," and there's no way to export it to another host (Wix).

GoDaddy's designers build your site with you in live sessions, and "nothing goes live until you approve it" (GoDaddy). There are three tiers. In Build it with me, you direct while a designer builds, and GoDaddy aims to publish by the end of a single 60-minute session. Build it for me hands off the whole job and adds custom design, professional copy and images, and search setup including your Google Business Profile. Build my online store adds a full store of up to 500 products.

GoDaddy is one of the few providers that spells out how it protects rankings: it maps your old URLs and sets up 301 redirects to the new pages. It says redesigns are done on WordPress, while its sites are generally built and hosted on its own Airo platform. Prices aren't published, and you get the scope and cost on your first call. After launch, you can edit the site yourself or pay $149.99 a month for Airo Website Care, where GoDaddy's designers handle your update requests.

B12 pairs an AI website builder with a done-for-you team of designers, copywriters, and a launch manager. The done-for-you route costs a one-time $1,999 setup fee plus a Professional subscription at $199 a month, or Advanced at $399 a month, which adds ongoing search support and a monthly blog post written for your review (B12). It's only available to service-based businesses in the United States. B12 says it launches customers within one month, with two drafts and two screen-share meetings along the way (B12).

B12 is honest that it doesn't really redesign. For an existing site, it recommends "starting fresh with B12," because "Trying to optimize a poorly constructed or poorly performing website is often more hassle than it's worth" (B12). You can tell its AI what to keep from your old site or upload a screenshot, but B12 doesn't describe importing your pages or redirecting their addresses. Your B12 site must also be hosted by B12 (B12). It fits a service business with a thin site and little search traffic to lose, one that wants a team to do the setup and a monthly plan to keep it current.

SmartSites is a New Jersey agency whose in-house team builds custom sites on WordPress, Shopify, and other platforms. It's unusually specific about the things that go wrong in redesigns. "Every redesign keeps your rankings with a page-by-page redirect plan," and every old page redirects to its new equivalent (SmartSites). Before any design starts, it writes a website plan listing every page and its purpose for you to approve. Then it designs the homepage first and gives you unlimited design revisions before development begins.

Sites start at $5,000, quoted as one flat fee for the agreed scope that you can split into two to four payments. A simple site can launch in as little as four to six weeks. Copywriting costs extra, and SmartSites doesn't build new sites on Wix or Squarespace; if you're on either, it rebuilds on WordPress. You own the design, code, and content. Hosting and maintenance are free for three months and then become a monthly cost. Its Client Hub reports the calls, forms, and sales your site brings in, but the improvements after launch are separate work you pay for, such as its monthly search program.

WebFX is a large full-service agency whose custom designs "start at $8,000 per site" (WebFX). A project manager is your single point of contact, and the work runs through five stages: an audit, design options for each kind of page, development, search and conversion optimization, and launch. WebFX says you own the finished site. Its best-known result is Cleveland Brothers, a heavy-equipment dealer that consolidated four sites into one and saw a 37% increase in conversions.

WebFX offers a 30-day redesign, but that service is built on a template. A custom redesign takes one to six months, and WebFX puts the average custom build at 12 weeks. Its own pricing guide puts redesigns of small sites with up to 50 pages at $3,000 to $24,000 (WebFX). WebFX makes sense for a business that also wants paid search and other marketing from one firm, and its scale is more than a small shop needs for a simple refresh.

Upwork lists the typical cost of an existing-website redesign completed on its marketplace in 2025 at $1,000 to $5,000, covering an audit of the current site, a refreshed visual design, and updated page templates (Upwork). Web designers there generally charge $15 to $30 an hour, and specialized custom work can reach $45 to $75 or more. Upwork says a five- to ten-page business site typically takes two to six weeks.

Upwork's own hiring guide shows how much of the job stays with you. It tells you to set milestones and revision rounds, clarify who owns the source files, fonts, and images, define who owns the domain and hosting accounts, and "Plan who will maintain the site after launch so updates and fixes don't stall." One business on Reddit hired a separate designer and developer to save about $15,000, then found that "nobody owned the project." It lost about $8,000 and two months before switching to an agency (Reddit). Upwork works well when one capable freelancer can do the whole job and you can manage them.

Fiverr lists more than 36,000 website redesign services, sold as fixed-price gigs with set deliverables (Fiverr). One typical Wix redesign gig costs $80 for one page, $150 for up to three pages, and $300 for up to five, delivered in three to seven days. Basic search setup is an optional add-on (Fiverr). That same designer's portfolio shows a full redesign for a London spa that cost $800 to $1,000 and took one to three months, which is closer to what a whole site costs than the gig prices suggest.

Read Fiverr's terms before you order. You get the rights to the delivered work once it's fully paid for, unless the gig says otherwise, and some gigs charge extra for a Commercial Use License covering business use. Fiverr also "does not provide any guarantee of the level of service offered by Sellers" (Fiverr). Fiverr fits a small, well-defined job, such as refreshing a few pages on a site you'll keep editing yourself.

Designjoy is the best-known design subscription, run entirely by its founder, Brett, who doesn't hire other designers or outsource the work (Designjoy). Its plan is shown at $4,995 a month for one request at a time, and it includes Webflow development. A full website counts as one large request that Designjoy breaks into pieces, delivering "a reasonable amount of work every 24-48 hours until the entire request is done." Once the site is built, it's transferred to your own Webflow account. If you're not happy after the first week, you can get 75% of your money back.

The model puts the thinking on you. You write your requests on a Trello board, and Designjoy's page describes no audit of your current site, no copywriting, and no plan for redirects or search rankings. The founder has said that "Clients can't ask for changes of any size after their subscription ends" (Reddit). Designjoy suits a funded company that wants senior design and a Webflow build and already knows what its site should say.
