Is a redesign cheaper than a rebuild?

Often, yes, but only when the existing system is still workable. If the site is carrying too much structural or technical debt, a cheaper redesign can become more expensive once the limitations start showing up again.

Can a redesign improve SEO?

Yes. A redesign can improve page intent, heading structure, internal linking, and user flow. If the site has bigger crawl or platform issues, rebuild work may unlock more SEO value.

How do we decide which route to take first?

Start with an audit of the current page structure, editing workflow, technical debt, and business priorities. The right answer usually becomes clear once the real constraints are visible.
