QUICK ANSWER
What are WordPress redesign services?
WordPress redesign services rebuild an existing WordPress site with a new design, cleaner code and better structure while protecting existing rankings and content. Toffyjar redesigns cover UX, block-based design, speed, plugin cleanup and an SEO-safe launch, from about $199 per page.
SIGNS
When does a WordPress site need a redesign?
Common signs we see in audits.
BY THE NUMBERS
What do the numbers say about WordPress in 2026?
WordPress is used by 39.7% of all websites and 58.5% of websites whose content management system is known, according to W3Techs (October 2026). WooCommerce runs on 19.8% of WordPress sites. Google's Core Web Vitals define a good experience as Largest Contentful Paint within 2.5 seconds, Interaction to Next Paint of 200 milliseconds or less and Cumulative Layout Shift of 0.1 or less, measured at the 75th percentile of page loads (web.dev). Toffyjar prices WordPress projects at about $199 per page, so a 10-page build is roughly $1,990, and dedicated WordPress developers cost $10 an hour, or $18 an hour for senior developers. In short, WordPress is the default platform for business websites, and speed is a measurable requirement rather than a preference.
COMPARE
Redesign vs refresh vs rebuild: which do you need?
A refresh updates visuals only. A redesign updates UX, design and templates. A rebuild replaces the codebase. Most sites with performance or editing problems need a redesign on new code.
| Option | Changes | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Refresh | Colors, fonts, images | Structure works well |
| Redesign | UX, templates, blocks | Editing or conversions suffer |
| Rebuild | New codebase | Heavy technical debt |
