Website Tune Up

Your website doesn’t need replacing. It needs a good service.

If your site is slow, cluttered with old plugins, plagued by errors, or just not pulling its weight as a marketing tool, a full rebuild is rarely the answer. It’s expensive, disruptive, and usually solves the wrong problem.

Unlock the Potential of Your Website!

A Website Tune-Up takes what you’ve already got, strips out what’s holding it back, fixes what’s broken, and rebuilds the parts that need it. You end up with a faster, cleaner, more effective website without the cost or six-month timeline of starting over.

Outdated Website?

How does a Tune-Up differ from a rebuild?

A rebuild starts from a blank canvas. It’s the right call when your site is genuinely beyond saving, your business has changed direction, or the platform itself is the problem.

A Tune-Up starts from what you’ve already got. We keep the foundations that are working, replace the parts that aren’t, and bring everything up to a standard where the site can actually do its job. Most of the businesses we speak to don’t need a rebuild. They need someone to roll their sleeves up and make the existing site work properly.

Think of it like servicing a car versus buying a new one. If the engine’s sound, you don’t need a replacement. You need an expert mechanic to put it right.

How it works

Step One

We audit your website

A full review across speed, SEO, design, plugins, integrations, security, conversions, and content. Nothing gets glossed over.

Step Two

We agree the priorities

You get a written list of everything we’d recommend, ranked by impact. The urgent and high-value work becomes a fixed-cost project so you know exactly what you’re paying.

Step Three

We do the work, then keep improving it

The fixed-cost project gets delivered cleanly and quickly. Anything non-urgent can be rolled onto an optional monthly plan, so the site keeps getting better without another big bill landing all at once.

What’s typically included

A Tune-Up is shaped around what your site actually needs, but the work usually covers:

  • Plugin audit and cleanup to remove bloat, replace risky plugins, and consolidate where it makes sense
  • Replacing old, outdated themes with flexible setups that won’t break every time WordPress updates
  • Speed optimisation to get load times down so visitors stay and Google rewards you
  • Security and updates to bring everything current and protected
  • SEO basics check so the foundations are right and your content can rank
  • Conversion and UX fixes to improve the journeys that turn visitors into enquiries
  • Section rebuilds in Elementor to replace tired or awkward areas with cleaner, more flexible designs
  • Content tightening to sharpen the words so they actually sell
  • Fixing broken integrations so your CRM, forms, and automations talk to the website properly

You don’t need to know which of these you need. That’s what the audit is for.

How a Website Tune-Up is priced?

We don’t quote until we’ve audited. It wouldn’t be honest to.

Once the audit is done, we agree a priority list with you and quote the urgent and high-impact work as a fixed-cost project. You know exactly what you’re paying and exactly what you’re getting.

The rest, the longer-term improvements, go onto a monthly plan so your website keeps getting better over time without another big bill landing all at once.

The result: a better site, more adaptable, ready to do real marketing work, without the cost or upheaval of a full rebuild.

A Tune-Up is probably the right call if:

  • Your website looks fine but isn’t generating enough leads
  • It’s slow, and you know it’s costing you visitors
  • Plugins keep breaking, or you’re nervous about updates
  • Your CRM and website don’t talk to each other properly
  • You’ve got the bones of a good site, but it’s been neglected
  • You’ve been quoted thousands for a rebuild and your gut says it’s overkill

You probably need a rebuild instead if:

  • Your business has fundamentally changed direction
  • The site was built on a platform that genuinely can’t do what you now need
  • The structure is so tangled that fixing it would cost more than starting again

If you’re not sure which camp you’re in, that’s exactly what the free audit is for. We’ll tell you straight.

Tune Up Case studies

Here are a few examples of sites we've cleaned up rather than fully rebuilt. Faster, more cost effective, and better results all round.

Pure Office Solutions Web Design Client

Pure Office Solutions

A 200-page website built on an old, unwieldy WordPress setup that had become genuinely hard to manage.

Critical errors were appearing, the site was slow, and search rankings had dropped. Rather than scrap 200 pages of content and rebuild from scratch, we audited the site, prioritised the issues, and brought it back to health.

Cleaner system, faster load times, errors resolved, and rankings recovered without the disruption or cost of starting again.

Manuka Kitchen Web Design Client

Manuka Kitchen

A site built on an old, hard-coded theme that broke every time it was updated and was a nightmare to edit.

The content was sound, and the brand was working, so a full rebuild would have thrown out a lot of value. We rebuilt the awkward sections in Elementor, replaced the rigid theme structure with something flexible, and gave them a site they can actually update themselves without holding their breath every time WordPress pushes a new version.

We’ve had a great experience working with Matt at Melt Design. From the start, it was obvious how knowledgeable he is about SEO, web design, and digital marketing, but what really stood out was how easy he made everything to understand. He’s always happy to answer questions and give helpful advice, and you can tell he genuinely cares about helping businesses grow online. Matt and his team rebuilt our main website, and the difference has been amazing. The new site looks much more modern and professional, and it performs far better too. Since the relaunch, we’ve already noticed an increase in enquiries. As well as improving our main website, Matt also helped us launch a brand new ecommerce website. The whole process was smooth and well organised from start to finish, including the planning, design and optimisation. What could have been a stressful project felt really straightforward thanks to Matt and his team. Throughout everything, Matt and the Melt Design team have been responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. Communication has always been great, and nothing ever seems like too much trouble. We’re really happy with the results and look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

We’ve had a great experience working with Melt Design on the revamp of our Business Ready website at UWSP. The team delivered an on brand website which is easy to navigate and user friendly. They also introduced new features that will help us promote our services in the best possible way. Matt and his team were professional, collaborative, and clearly understood our goals throughout the project. We’re delighted with the final result and would highly recommend them.

I’ve been incredibly impressed with the SEO services provided. From the very beginning, the communication was clear, professional, and focused on delivering real results. Within just a short period of time, we started seeing noticeable improvements in our search rankings, website traffic, and overall online visibility. The team at Melt clearly knows what they’re doing — their strategy was tailored to our business, and they took the time to explain each step so we always felt confident in the process. The results speak for themselves: higher-quality leads, stronger engagement, and a huge boost in organic performance. If you’re looking for reliable, effective SEO services that genuinely deliver what they promise, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Fantastic service and outstanding results.

Melt have been managing our website and SEO for several months now. The ease and speed with which requested changes are made to our site is really impressive. It has allowed us to develop and improve our site in the last few months. This along with excellent SEO work by Melt has led to a large increase in our web traffic. I'd highly recommend Melt to any business that's serious about developing their website.

I couldn't be happier with the service I have received from the team at Melt since we moved our website to them. Matt redesigned the website to make it easier to manage and is regularly coming up with suggestions to make it perform better. They are all super helpful and great to deal with. Any changes are implemented straight away with no bother - it's a breath of fresh air working with them! 🙂

Matt, Luke and the team at Melt Design did a masterful job of redesigning and porting a membership website with three membership levels and three years worth of content. Not only is the design superb, but the members love how accessible everything is. The output has been perfect, but the service, if anything, even better. Every question we asked along the way was answered quickly and efficiently. Literally nothing has been too much work or effort for these guys. I'm so glad we chose Melt for this project - I imagine it'll be the first of many. Thanks to Matt and the team for a fantastic job!

I've had my business for over 13 years and have dealt with several wordpress developers and website companies over that time. I generally associate everything website-related as quite stressful/painful/annoying, but I have to say that this hasn't been the case with Melt. They're a really nice team to deal with, are patient and kind with non-tecchies like me and are quick and efficient with any queries we have. Definitely pleased that we decided to switch to Melt and would definitely recommend them to others. Thank you Matt, Luke, Jessa & team!

Melt Design did a FABULOUS job on our new website! They designed and implemented our site for us on a very short timeline, due to a promotion we were going to run. It only took one round of feedback for them to "get" our design style, which is unusual because we're very picky about look and feel. And their implementation was perfect. It's really hard to find good designers (we have been through four or five different design firms in the quest for the perfect one), but they're FANTASTIC. Two thumbs up!

Tune Up Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Tune-Up take?

The audit takes around a week. The fixed-cost project usually runs between two and six weeks depending on scope. We’ll give you a clear timeline before any work starts.

No. We work on a staging copy of your site so the live version stays up and untouched. Changes only go live once you’ve approved them.

No. If you’re on a different page builder or a hard-coded theme, we’ll assess whether moving to Elementor makes sense for the Tune-Up. Sometimes it’s the right call, sometimes it isn’t. We’ll be honest either way.

That’s often exactly when a Tune-Up makes the most sense. We’ve taken on sites with hundreds of pages, critical errors, and years of neglect, and brought them back to health without a full rebuild.

Yes. We do a lot of white label and collaborative work. If you’ve got someone in-house or a relationship you want to keep, we’ll fit around it.

The monthly plan is optional, and you’re not locked in. Most clients stay because the site keeps improving, but if you want to stop or pause, you can.

Access to your website and hosting, ideally a quick conversation about your business goals, and that’s about it. We handle the rest.

Yes. You get a written priority list of recommendations whether you go on to work with us or not. If you want to take it to someone else, that’s fine too.
