We're breaking down the common photography website redesign mistakes that tank your Google rankings—and how to protect your SEO while giving your site a fresh look. Whether you're changing platforms entirely or just updating your design, this episode covers the strategic planning and technical steps you need to know.

On this episode:

• Planning your redesign strategy before you start rebuilding
• Preserving headers, redirects, and internal linking structure for SEO protection
• Submitting sitemaps and cleaning up old code and pop-up forms

Use Go Full Page Chrome plugin to screenshot your entire website before redesigning—this captures all your copy, headers, and layout so you don't lose important content during the transition.

The Pretty Links plugin makes it easy to set up redirects and preserve your internal linking structure, which is crucial for maintaining your SEO rankings when URLs change.

Check out Melissa's Website Redesign SEO Checklist if you are planning a redesign this season. Stay ahead of the mistakes and keep your rankings!
