Pillar two · Custom sites & rebuilds

Website redesign
service Built once
Then it's yours

A productized website redesign and platform migration. We move you off Webflow, WordPress, Squarespace, or Wix onto a custom Astro site on Cloudflare, with brand, design, and engineering done in-house. One fixed bill from $4,000. Then you own the site outright and keep editing it yourself by talking to Claude, no retainer.

001 / What you get

Brand · Design · Engineering, one shop

Fixed scope · You own the site
The build

A real custom site, not a template

From $4,000 · productized

Our in-house team handles the brand, the design, and the engineering. The result is a hand-built Astro site on Cloudflare, not a drag-and-drop template carrying a monthly platform fee. It is fast everywhere, legible to AI, and editable by you after launch. When it ships, the code is yours.


The handoff

Edit it yourself, by talking to Claude

No retainer · No hourly billing

The reason most agency sites rot is that the client cannot touch them after launch. We fix that. Every redesign ships set up so you keep editing the site by talking to Claude or Cursor, with the guardrails that make that safe on a live business. You change a page in plain English, preview it, and ship it. If it looks wrong, you roll it back in one click.


AI-legible from line one

Built so ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI can read and cite the site from the first line of markup.

Search is moving inside AI tools, and AI tools cite the sites they can actually parse. Every redesign ships with clean semantic HTML, structured data, and llms.txt, so your pages are readable and quotable by the engines your customers now ask. This is the same build we do on our own client work, not an upsell.

002 / The proof

A #1 ChatGPT citation in 7 days

A site we built, working in the wild
Case study · Song Cage

We build AI-legible sites. Here is one doing the job.

The Notus built the marketing site for Song Cage, a songwriting app. Because the site was structured to be read by AI from line one, ChatGPT began recommending Song Cage #1 for "best songwriting app" within seven days of launch, drawing from the AI-legible Astro site we built alongside the product. That same approach to markup, speed, and structure ships with every website redesign we do.


Note on the claim: Song Cage earned a #1 ChatGPT citation, not a Google AI Overviews placement. We name what actually happened.

003 / Migrations

Platforms we move people off

One shop migrates them all
Off the builder, onto your own site
Webflow Custom Astro on Cloudflare
WordPress Custom Astro on Cloudflare
Squarespace Custom Astro on Cloudflare
Wix Custom Astro on Cloudflare

Webflow, WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix all leave you renting your site and paying a monthly platform fee. We migrate any of them to a custom Astro site on Cloudflare. Same shop handles all four. No monthly platform fee from us, AI-legible from line one, and editable by you and Claude after launch.

Pillar one

Fractional CTO

From $7,500 · 3–4 weeks

You have an AI-built prototype that mostly works. We take it to production: auth, payments, AI pipelines, and security that hold under real traffic. You own the code.

Greenfield site

Custom website development

From $4,000

No site yet, or starting from scratch. A brand-new custom site built the same way: Astro on Cloudflare, AI-legible, fully responsive, and yours to keep.

005 / FAQ

Website redesign, answered straight

The questions we actually get asked

How much does a website redesign cost?

A productized website redesign from The Notus starts at $4,000. That is a fixed price for the full job: brand, design, and engineering in-house, plus the migration off your current platform to custom Astro on Cloudflare. No retainer, no hourly billing, no platform subscription to us. You own the site outright when it ships.

Can I edit the site myself after launch?

Yes. We hand the site off so you keep editing it by talking to Claude or Cursor, no developer on retainer. Every redesign ships with a tuned CLAUDE.md, Claude Code hooks, preview deploys on every change, one-click rollback, and a plain-English walkthrough. You make a change in plain language, preview it, and ship it, with rollback one click away if something looks off.

Do I keep my content and domain?

Yes. You keep your domain and your content, and you own the new site outright. We migrate your existing pages, copy, and assets into the new build, point your domain at Cloudflare, and there is no platform subscription to us afterward. The code is yours.

How long does a website redesign take?

A productized redesign typically ships in a few weeks, depending on page count and how much new copy and brand work is in scope. Because it is fixed scope and fixed price, the timeline is agreed up front and there are no scope-creep surprise invoices.

Will the redesigned site work on mobile?

Yes. Every site we build is fully responsive and works on phone, tablet, and desktop. We hold a performance budget of 95+ Lighthouse and real Core Web Vitals, served Cloudflare-fast everywhere, so the site is quick on a phone over mobile data, not just on a desktop.

Will ChatGPT and Perplexity be able to read the new site?

Yes, and that is a deliberate part of the build. We ship AI-legible markup so ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI can read and cite your site from line one: clean semantic HTML, structured data, and llms.txt. Song Cage's marketing site, which we built, earned a #1 ChatGPT citation for "best songwriting app" within seven days of launch.
