Site design and build. Scored on research-led information architecture and real platform depth — not on how the portfolio looks in a showreel.

A redesign that is not researched is a reskin

The strongest agencies ground structure in stakeholder and customer research, analytics, content modelling and tested information architecture. Without that, a rebuild moves the same problems behind nicer typography — and you will not find out for two quarters, by which point the agency has moved on.

Ask what happens after launch

Component systems, QA, environments and deployment decide whether your team can maintain the site or has to return to the agency for every change. That dependency is sometimes sold as a feature. Establish who can edit what, and what the hand-over includes, before signing.

If conversion is the goal, this may be the wrong category

Design and build agencies make sites; making sites convert measurably is a different discipline with a different rubric — see web & CRO. Buying a redesign to fix conversion is common and usually expensive, because a new site resets whatever evidence you had accumulated.
