A proper rebuild for the website you've outgrown.
Ageing WordPress, hundreds of pages, donation forms nobody dares touch. We rebuild established charity websites: content migrated in full, every URL redirected, accessibility tested with evidence, and a CMS your team can run without calling a developer.
Fixed price after discovery. No commitment at this stage, just a conversation.
The site that served you well now slows you down.
Established charities outgrow their websites quietly. One year the site is fine, the next it is the thing everyone works around.
Nobody dares touch it
The site is years old, the plugins are out of date, and the person who built it is long gone. Every change feels like a gamble, so changes stopped happening.
Hundreds of pages, no map
Old campaigns, duplicate pages, resources nobody can find. The content outgrew its structure years ago, and now visitors and search engines both get lost in it.
Rebuilding feels like a risk
Lose your Google rankings? Break the donation forms? Lose ten years of content? Those are the right worries. They are also solved problems, with a migration plan that treats them as part of the job.
Everything a replatform needs, priced as one project.
The Rebuild package is for established charities and CICs replacing a site they have outgrown: large content libraries, events programmes, online donations, and a team that needs to publish without friction.
It starts with a discovery phase: every page on your current site catalogued, and a keep, merge, or retire decision made for each. That is what lets us fix the price before the build begins, and it is why the migration does not lose things.
Most rebuilds land between £12,500 and £32,000, depending on content volume, donation complexity, and integrations. If you are running a formal tender, we respond with itemised proposals, build, hosting and support costs shown separately, and contactable charity references. See the sites we have built.
One more thing worth knowing: Goodside is not VAT registered, so there is no VAT on our fees. Most charities cannot reclaim VAT, which makes a like-for-like quote from a VAT-registered agency around 20% more expensive than it looks.

Built for organisations whose website is infrastructure.
If your site does real work every day, replacing it deserves more care than a redesign. This is for you if any of these sound familiar.
Charities with large content libraries
Resource hubs, publications, guidance documents, and archives that staff add to every week. We rebuild the structure so people can actually find things, and migrate every item with its URL redirected.
Organisations taking donations online
One-off gifts, regular giving by direct debit, and campaign appeals. We build donation journeys on Stripe and GoCardless that your finance team and your donors can both trust.
Programme and events-led organisations
Training calendars, recurring sessions, venue listings, and booking links. We build events sections that staff maintain themselves, not a diary that quietly goes stale.
Support services and helplines
Organisations whose visitors may be vulnerable or in crisis. Clear signposting, accessible design, and safety features like quick-exit buttons, built to WCAG 2.2 AA and tested.
Faith-based charities
National programmes run with churches, mosques, temples, and community partners. We present the charitable work clearly so funders, volunteers, and beneficiaries each find what they need.
Organisations running a tender
If you are inviting proposals for a website redevelopment, we work comfortably within formal procurement: structured responses, references, and a process your panel can score.
Four stages. Your old site stays live throughout.
A rebuild runs 12 to 16 weeks depending on scale. Nothing switches over until the new site has been tested, and the switchover itself preserves every address your visitors and search engines rely on.
Discovery and audit
We catalogue every page, post, and document on your current site, agree what to keep, merge, or retire, and map the integrations. At the end of this stage the price is fixed and the plan is written down.
Design and build
We design around your audiences and build in WordPress: page templates, the content library, events, and donation journeys. You see working pages early and shape them as we go.
Migrate and verify
Content and media move across, the redirect map is applied, and the site is tested: accessibility with evidence, performance, security, and every donation and contact journey walked through end to end.
Launch and stabilise
A soft launch, training for your team, and documentation you will actually use. Then 90 days of stabilisation while the new site beds in, with rankings and redirects monitored.
Common questions about rebuilds.
The site you have was right for then. Build the one that's right for now.
A 20-minute call is enough to tell you whether a rebuild is the right move and what it would cost. No commitment, no pressure, no sales deck.
