The short answer
Website redesign cost is driven by the work around the design: rewriting content, moving old pages to new addresses without losing search traffic, and any new features like booking or payments. A fresh look on the same pages costs far less than a rebuild with new structure. Ask quotes to price redirects and content separately.
Redirects. Every old address that gets traffic or links needs to point to its new page. Skip that and a redesign can lose months of search traffic. If a quote doesn't mention redirects, ask.
Redesign if the structure works and only the look is dated. Rebuild if the platform is holding you back.
Small sites take weeks; the wait is usually for content and approvals.
Not by itself. Better content and speed can help; a careless move can hurt.
A website redesign checklist starts before any design: record which pages bring visitors and calls, keep their content and addresses or redirect each one, and carry over your name, address, phone and hours exactly.
