Precision Site Rebuild: Maintaining the Original Design

We recently completed a WordPress website build for Harry Curtis accountants with one goal in mind: to maintain the original design, with a very few slight improvements, while upgrading everything behind the scenes.

Harry Curtis & Co, a long-standing accounting firm in Cape Town and one of our most valued clients, trusted us to give his website a much-needed rebuild, without changing the layout he loves.

Harry’s original site design has served him well over the years, and he emphasized that it continues to convert visitors effectively, so our task was to deliver a website rebuild for his accounting firm that preserved the same look and feel, while modernizing the structure, performance, and SEO.

Why a Rebuild Instead of a Redesign?

This wasn’t about starting from scratch. It was about refining and rebuilding the site with modern tools, best practices, and SEO in mind. We completely restructured the backend using the WordPress block editor, making it easier to maintain and extend in the future.

The Old Website: What Needed Work

The previous site had a few pain points:

• Sluggish load times
• Local SEO needing improvements
• Limited accessibility
• Missing several best practices for performance and searchability

For a business in a competitive space like accounting, these issues can hurt visibility and credibility online.

The New Build: Optimized and Future-Ready

With the rebuild now complete, Harry’s site benefits from:

• A faster, lightweight structure
• Core SEO improvements for accounting websites
• Improved local visibility by enhancing his Google Business Profile
• Integrated Google Analytics for accurate site performance tracking

We kept the design exactly as Harry requested, but under the hood, it’s a brand-new, high-performing WordPress website tailored for his accounting firm.
