Industries We Serve in Detroit
Automotive Technology and Manufacturing: Detroit's automotive supply chain, automotive technology companies, and mobility startups are competing for relationships, talent, and capital in a rapidly evolving market. Manufacturing website redesigns for Detroit clients address the specific evaluation criteria of OEM procurement teams: quality certification presentation, production capability communication, and the case study or reference content that shows rather than tells what the supplier delivers. Automotive technology company redesigns address the investor and enterprise client audiences that evaluate technical credibility through marketing website quality.
Technology Companies and Startups: TechTown Detroit's companies, Detroit Mobility Lab startups, and the growing technology business community in Downtown and Midtown compete in national markets where digital standards are high. A technology company whose marketing site does not reflect its current product, performs slowly, or fails the mobile experience test is losing evaluations before conversations begin. We redesign technology company websites for the standards national enterprise clients and investors apply.
Healthcare Systems and Medical Practices: Henry Ford Health System's affiliated practices, Detroit Medical Center, Beaumont Health, and the independent practices throughout Metro Detroit compete for patients who research before selecting providers. Healthcare website redesigns address mobile conversion, accessibility for Detroit's diverse patient population, and the specific trust signals that drive appointment requests in competitive healthcare markets.
Legal and Professional Services: Detroit's Downtown and Midtown legal and professional services firms are researched by potential clients who make preliminary quality assessments before any contact. An outdated, slow-loading, or poorly structured firm website is a liability in that evaluation. Redesigns address the service page content, attorney and consultant profile quality, and contact conversion paths that drive qualified inquiry.
Real Estate and Development: Detroit's active real estate market, spanning downtown condo development, Midtown and Corktown appreciation, emerging neighborhoods, and suburban residential across Oakland and Macomb counties, generates web traffic from buyers, sellers, investors, and tenants. Real estate website redesigns address property photography presentation, search functionality, lead capture, and the neighborhood storytelling that differentiates Detroit's market.
What to Expect
Pre-Redesign Audit: Every redesign begins with a data-driven audit of the current site. Google Analytics shows visitor behavior, content engagement, and conversion performance. Core Web Vitals diagnostics reveal performance problems affecting search rankings. SEO structure analysis identifies what is working and must be preserved. Competitive benchmarking shows the current gap. The audit produces the evidence base that drives redesign strategy rather than assumptions.
Strategy and Architecture: Audit findings determine the redesign strategy. Information architecture is designed before any visual work, based on your current business scope and your specific audience evaluation criteria. For Detroit's automotive and manufacturing clients, this includes mapping the multiple buyer types whose needs the site must serve.
Design and Development: Visual design in Figma with client review at wireframe and high-fidelity stages. Mobile first throughout. SEO migration plan executed in parallel with development, including 301 redirects, meta data updates, and Analytics configuration.
Launch and Optimization: Coordinated launch minimizing risk to existing conversion activity. Post-launch monitoring against pre-redesign baseline metrics throughout the first 90 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Measurable signals that indicate a redesign is justified: bounce rates above 70 percent on key pages, conversion rates below 2 percent on pages with clear calls-to-action, page load times above 3 seconds, failing Core Web Vitals scores in Google Search Console, or declining organic traffic. Qualitative signals: the site does not reflect your current capabilities, team size, or practice areas; competitors consistently present more professionally in digital channels; your team is reluctant to send prospects to the site; or the site was built more than 3 to 4 years ago without a structural update. We assess this objectively in the pre-redesign audit.
Most professional services and B2B website redesigns take 8 to 12 weeks from discovery through launch. Manufacturing companies with large capability libraries, healthcare organizations with accessibility requirements, and sites with complex custom integrations take longer. We provide specific timelines with defined milestones in every proposal so your team can plan around the project.
Not if the SEO migration is handled correctly. Proper 301 redirect implementation for any changed URLs, URL structure preservation where possible, and on-page optimization for redesigned pages protect existing rankings. Most Detroit clients see rankings improve within 60 to 90 days after launch because the new site loads faster and provides better user experience signals. We document and execute SEO migration as a standard component of every redesign.
Automotive and manufacturing website redesigns must serve multiple distinct audience types: OEM procurement managers evaluating supplier capability, engineering leads assessing technical fit, HR and talent acquisition teams supporting recruiting, and investors or business development evaluators. We build information architectures that efficiently serve each audience, capability sections that present the specific quality certifications and production parameters that matter in automotive purchasing, and design systems that communicate precision and quality. We pay particular attention to how EV and advanced manufacturing capabilities are presented for suppliers who have built relevant competencies.
We analyze Google Analytics for visitor behavior, traffic source performance, content engagement, and conversion rates. We run Core Web Vitals and page speed diagnostics. We audit on-page SEO across key pages. We review the mobile experience in detail. We benchmark against Detroit, Michigan, and national competitors in your sector. The audit produces a findings report that drives the redesign strategy so we solve actual performance problems rather than assumed ones.
We audit all existing content before the redesign begins. Content driving organic traffic, generating conversions, or providing genuine capability communication is preserved and updated in the new site architecture with appropriate URL handling. Content that is outdated, inaccurate, or not serving a clear purpose is removed or replaced. We produce a content migration map before any development begins so nothing valuable is lost.
