Modernize Existing Website Design

My current site feels dated, and I’m ready to give it a fresh, contemporary vibe. The priority is a cleaner, more modern appearance that immediately communicates professionalism when visitors land on the home page. Here is what I need: • Revamp the home page and main menu so navigation feels intuitive and visually streamlined. • Refresh all on-page text, photos, and overall layout to remove clutter and improve readability. • Update colors, fonts, and button styles to a cohesive palette that works equally well on desktop and mobile. • Remove a handful of obsolete pages and bring a few existing pages up to the new design standard. Additional requirements: • Ensure the platform allows me to easily update content like text or logos without advanced technical skills. • Maintain existing SEO rankings and ratings during the redesign process—no starting from scratch in search engine rankings. Please tell me about projects where you have tackled similar redesigns and the specific role you played; I’m especially interested in your experience modernizing layouts, typography, UI elements, and preserving SEO performance. If you have live links that demonstrate this kind of work, include them so I can gauge fit quickly. I will provide full access to the current site, brand assets, and a page-by-page list of what stays, goes, or changes as soon as we agree on the scope. The finished product should load fast, look polished on all major browsers and devices, and be easy for me to maintain going forward.
