Site relaunch, should I be worried?

[followuk]

Hi Everyone,

Hope your all doing well.

Im about 1 week away from relaunching my website and im a little worried it might hurt my rankings.

Basically im trying to make the website better, so its undergone a massive overhaul such as being made responsive on tablet + mobile, completely redesigned colours etc so now a flat design bringing less images in the hope to increase load times, navigation is more of a silo structure to try and make everything that bit more relevant and to cut down on clutter for users.

I haven't touched the urls so they will stay the same but I have stripped and added new content because as the years have passed, reflecting back some of it is basic and not professional enough - so ive had it reproduced by a copywriter.

I've also gone through the social channels and stripped out some content from there (almost reset them) because the style of the content and design no longer aligns with the new design and voice of the new site.

Without a doubt the site is much better (been in dev for 2 months) im just worried Google might not like something? It's a shame really because I should be excited but all im worried about is Google spanking it.

I've collected a list of resources from Moz and elsewhere that should help to address your concerns:

• A Mozinar and subsequent blog post on Moz's change from seomoz.com to moz.com
• How to launch a new website
• An infographic list of things to check
• 10 Things to Check

Good luck!
