Audit your site before you change anything
Get a page-by-page list of what to keep, cut or rewrite, so the redesign starts from the content you already have.
Choose a new look and edit it in chat
Pick a suggested design direction, then click any element to restyle it, or describe several changes in one message.
Compare three looks before you commit
Manus suggests directions that fit your content and audience, each with colors, fonts and a sample hero, and waits for you to pick one.
Make several edits in one message
Group related changes and Manus applies them together as one update. For a single color or font, click the element in the preview instead.
Start from a Figma design
If your designer already made the new look, turn the Figma design into a website and Manus fills it with the content from your current pages.
Website redesign without losing SEO
Keep the URLs search engines know. Manus maps each old page to its new one and redirects any that move.
Handled for you once SEO is on
- Prerendered pages for search bots
- A canonical URL on every page
- A robots.txt file
- A sitemap that updates itself

Map every old URL to a new page
Moving pages around? Manus matches each old URL to its new page and adds a 301 redirect for anything that changes, so links and bookmarks keep working.
Check SEO before and after launch
Run an SEO audit on the old site first. After launch, the SEO tab and Optimize with Manus fill in any missing titles and descriptions.
Publish the new design to your own domain
When the preview looks right, publish it to your own domain or buy one in the builder. SSL is included.
How to redesign a website with Manus
Share your site, agree on a plan and refine the preview. Your current site stays live until you publish.
Share your current site
Paste its URL. If your files are on your computer, point Manus Studio at the folder instead.
Review the plan
Check the page list, the design direction and the URL map. Changes to the plan cost less than changes to a finished site.
Watch Manus build
The new design takes shape in a live preview.
Refine it
Click an element to change its color, font or spacing, or describe bigger edits in chat.
Publish
Go live on your domain when the preview looks right. Until then, your old site stays as it is.
Good to know before you start
- Building and editing use credits. After you publish, hosting is billed by usage, with free monthly allowances of $10 for cloud, $1 for AI and $1 for API usage.
- Redesign sites you own or have permission to change. Manus reads your public pages, so it doesn’t need the password to your old host.
- Big site? Start with the pages that get the most visits, then add the rest in the same task.
- No site to start from? Use the business website builder to make one from a description.

How SEO works on sites built with Manus
Website redesign questions
What is a website redesign?
A website redesign changes how your site looks and works, such as its layout, navigation, colors and fonts, while keeping the content and page addresses that still work. With Manus, you start from your current site’s URL and get a new version you can preview, edit and publish.
Can AI redesign my existing website?
Yes. Give Manus your site’s URL. It reads your public pages, keeps your copy, images and page structure, and rebuilds the site with a new design in the website builder. Your live site doesn’t change until you publish the new version and point your domain to it.
How much does a website redesign cost with Manus?
Building and editing the new site use Manus credits. After you publish, hosting is billed by usage, and every account gets free monthly allowances of $10 for cloud, $1 for AI and $1 for API usage. If you buy a domain in the builder, that’s a separate cost.
How long does a website redesign take?
Manus builds the first version in one task, and you watch it take shape in a live preview. The rest depends on how many pages you have and how many rounds of edits you want. Agreeing on the plan before the build saves the most time.
Will a redesign hurt my SEO?
It doesn’t have to. Keep your page URLs where you can, and ask Manus to add a 301 redirect for any page that moves. After you publish, turn on SEO in Settings: the site then gets prerendered pages for search bots, canonical URLs, a robots.txt file and a dynamic sitemap, and the SEO tab shows a score and a checklist for each page. Then submit the new sitemap in Google Search Console.
Can I redesign a WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or Shopify site?
Yes, as long as the pages are public. Manus reads them from the URL and rebuilds them as a new Manus website, and you move off the old platform when you point your domain to it. For an online store, also plan how products and orders will move; Manus can add payments with Stripe. To keep a site where it is, the WordPress, Wix and Webflow connectors let Manus work on content in those platforms instead.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Describe what you want in plain words, and Manus chooses the technology and writes the code. To change a color, font or spacing, click the element in the preview.
Can I keep my domain?
Yes. Ask Manus to publish the site to your domain, and it gives you the DNS records to add at your domain provider, an A record or a CNAME. SSL is set up automatically. You can also buy a new domain in the builder.
Can I get the code for my redesigned site?
Yes. You can view or download the code at any time, or sync the project with a private GitHub repository.
Can I redesign one page first?
Yes. Start with the page that matters most, such as your home page or a landing page, and add the other pages in the same task once you like the direction. To work on several changes at once, open the website in a new task.
