Website Redesign Agency
We rebuild outdated websites into modern, fast, conversion-focused experiences.
Every page we deliver is engineered for two audiences at once — the human reading it, and the answer engines deciding whether to surface it. That is how DPA earns traffic in 2026.
What We Do
A focused agency for owners who know their website is holding them back.
DPA Branding is a full-service branding and redesign agency. We take websites that look stuck in 2014 — slow, hard to update, invisible on Google, and impossible to read on a phone — and rebuild them as modern, conversion-focused experiences you actually own.
We do not sell templates. We design the brand, write the structure, build the site, and hand you the keys. Whether you are a local business, a franchise, or a multi-location brand, our process adapts to your needs.
And because the search landscape changed — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini now answer questions before users ever click — every page we deliver is structured to be quoted by an answer engine, not just ranked by a search engine.
The Redesign Process
Six steps from outdated site to launch-ready experience.
Every project follows the same disciplined sequence. No surprises, no scope drift, no “we’ll figure SEO out later.” Search visibility is baked in from step one.
Discovery & Brand Audit
We start with a working session to understand your customers, your competitors, and what your current site is failing to do. We pull your existing brand assets, photography, color system, and tone — then document everything in a single Brand Guide that becomes the source of truth for the rest of the project.
SEO & Google Presence Audit
Before we design a single screen, we benchmark where you stand. We score your organic visibility, Google reviews, website quality, and local citations against your real competitors — and we map the keywords and questions your future customers are actually typing and asking.
Information Architecture & Content
We design the site's structure around the questions your customers ask and the answers search engines reward. Every page gets a clear primary intent, a target query, an honest heading hierarchy, and copy written to be both persuasive and quotable by AI summaries.
Design & Prototype
You see a live, clickable prototype of your site — not a flat mockup. Real images, real type, real buttons, real interactions. We iterate here, fast, before a single line of production code is written. This is where most of your feedback lands.
Build & Integrate
Production builds are delivered as modern, fast, mobile-first websites. We wire up forms, integrations, analytics events, structured data, and the metadata that controls how every page appears in Google, on social, and inside answer engines.
Launch & Handoff
We launch on your domain, verify Core Web Vitals, submit your sitemap, validate schema, and walk you through how to update content. Once the build fee is paid, the code is yours outright — no licensing, no platform lock-in.
Designed for Search & Answer Engines
Two audiences. One site. Engineered from day one for both.
SEO earns the click. AEO earns the citation. The websites that win in 2026 do both — and they only do both if they were designed that way on purpose.
Built to rank on Google.
Traditional search still drives the majority of qualified traffic for local and service businesses. Every page DPA delivers is technically sound, semantically clear, and fast enough to satisfy Core Web Vitals on the first crawl.
- →Page-specific titles, meta descriptions, and canonical URLs — never duplicated across the site.
- →Semantic HTML with proper H1–H4 hierarchy so crawlers understand the document structure.
- →Local SEO schema — LocalBusiness, Service, Product, and Review structured data wired in by default.
- →Core Web Vitals tuned at build time — compressed images, lazy loading, minimal JavaScript on first paint.
- →Open Graph + Twitter Card metadata so every link shared previews correctly everywhere.
- →XML sitemap, robots.txt, and clean URL structure submitted to Google Search Console on launch day.
Built to be quoted by AI.
Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini increasingly answer the question before the user clicks. AEO is the practice of writing and structuring pages so those engines pick your sentences as the answer — with your brand attached.
- →Question-led headings that mirror how real customers phrase queries — natural language, not keyword stuffing.
- →Direct, declarative answers placed immediately under each question so they can be extracted as a featured snippet or AI citation.
- →FAQ and HowTo schema on every applicable page so answer engines can ingest the Q&A in a structured form.
- →Entity clarity — your business name, location, services, and credentials are stated explicitly so LLMs associate them with you, not a competitor.
- →Author and trust signals wired in so engines treat your content as authoritative (E-E-A-T).
- →Scannable, fact-dense paragraphs — short sentences, real numbers, no fluff — the format AI summarizers prefer to lift.
Why a redesign is the right moment to fix both.
Retrofitting SEO and AEO onto a legacy Wix or WordPress site is expensive, slow, and usually incomplete. A redesign is the one moment where URL structure, headings, schema, copy, and metadata can all be built correctly from the very start — at no extra cost compared to building it wrong.
What You Get
Every engagement delivers five things — not just a website.
A redesign is more than visual polish. You walk away with a complete brand and search foundation you can build on for years.
Visual & Verbal Identity
Colors, typography, button system, tone of voice, and logo usage — documented in a live guide that every team member can reference.
Google Presence Report
A scored audit of where you stand today vs. real competitors — keyword gaps, review gaps, citation gaps, and a prioritized action plan.
Modern Build
A fast, responsive, accessible site engineered for both SEO and AEO from the first component — not bolted on afterward.
Production Blueprint
Every route, component, form, integration, and acceptance criterion documented — so the build is reproducible and extensible.
Yours, Outright
Once the build fee is paid, the full source is yours. No licensing, no platform lock-in, no monthly hostage situation.
Hosting & Care
Managed hosting with monitoring, backups, and minor edits included. Cancel anytime — your code goes with you.

Frequently Asked
Straight answers, no agency-speak.
If your question isn’t here, contact us directly. You’ll hear back the same day.
What is AEO and how is it different from SEO?▾
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) gets your page to appear in Google's blue-link results so a user can click through. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) gets your sentences quoted directly inside AI-generated answers — Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — often with a citation back to your site. SEO earns the visit. AEO earns the mention even when there is no visit. Both matter, and the writing and structure choices that win one usually help the other.
How long does a redesign take?▾
Most projects launch in 3–4 weeks, assuming we have access to your existing content and brand assets. Larger sites with custom integrations typically run 5–8 weeks.
Do I own the website when it's done?▾
Yes — completely. Once the one-time build fee is paid in full, the source code, design files, and any hosting credentials transfer to you. There are no licensing fees and no platform lock-in. If you ever decide to move off our hosting, the site moves with you.
Will I rank higher on Google after the redesign?▾
A faster, semantically correct, schema-rich site with proper metadata almost always improves rankings — often within weeks of launch. We cannot guarantee a specific position, but we guarantee the technical foundation will no longer be the thing holding you back. Ongoing SEO and branding services are available if you want active monthly work.
What services does DPA Branding offer beyond the redesign?▾
DPA is a full-service branding and marketing agency. Beyond the website redesign, we offer ongoing branding strategy, digital and traditional marketing, SEO, and sales solutions — all customizable to fit the scale and pace of your business.
