Websites don’t last forever. Technology changes quickly, making a website rebuild necessary over time.
On top of that, websites seem to break at the absolute worst time, putting you in “crisis mode”.
Think about a website rebuild now, before your site breaks and won’t function.
Probably the most common reason to rebuild a site is outdated technology and the website no longer functions. For example, if your site is running an outdated version of PHP (<= PHP 5.6) and your web host upgrades the minimum version of PHP on the server, your site will no longer function.
Features and functionality that exist no longer align with what your company offers.
Maybe you had a simple static HTML site, and you now need a CMS like WordPress so you can manage the content on your web pages.
Your site design is old, ugly and outdated. Or maybe your company brand has changed and the website needs to be rebuilt to match. Website redesign services are usually part of a rebuild.
If you want to get found in search engines, you need to keep up with trends. What worked 10 years ago does not work now. Your site needs to be mobile friendly. Your site needs to be fast, organized and using today's code standards to make it easier for search engine bots to crawl and index your site.
Most websites I rebuild fall in to these categories:
These are usually database driven PHP websites that no longer function due to web hosting upgrades related to PHP.
I've converted many different types of websites to WordPress, HTML, Joomla, OpenCart, SquirrelCart, Magento...
People quickly find out that they outgrow hosted services like Godaddy Builder, Wix, Squarespace..
This project was a rebuild of a custom CMS that was outdated on many levels. Built in 2007, it was not mobile friendly, running PHP5.6, technologies were obsolete, and the functionality built into it no longer met the needs of the organization.

It takes effort. If you are going to rebuild your site, you want to do it right. This means thinking about what's working, and what doesn't. It means setting goals and developing new content.
It's an expense. But when you build a website, you need to factor in ongoing maintenance and eventually rebuilding. Just like buying a car - you know you need to maintain it. Even if you do, you know it won't run forever.
If you've outgrown Squarespace or Wix, you may need help figuring out what to do next. Hiring a professional web developer to properly rebuild your site so you can then manage the content may be what you need.
I get that you want a quick answer, a ballpark, a rough idea when you when you want to know how much it will cost to “rebuild my website”.
Unfortunately I don’t have a quick answer.
If you do a Google search you will see no one else does either.
Getting ranges from $0 to $75,000 is not a rough idea of what it will cost to rebuild a website. It means nothing to you because these “ballparks” are not relevant to YOUR website.
There are a lot of details that I need before I can provide a solid cost to rebuild your site.
