Best practice for prospective new customer?

Hey folks, I create Wordpress websites almost entirely in code and CSS for speed. Up to now, I’ve only ever built websites from scratch for customers. However I’ve recently had an enquiry from a local company asking me to rebuild their extremely slow(like snail mail slow) and outdated website - I don’t really delve into the Google side of things as the websites I build tend to rank pretty well organically, however the customer is concerned about building a new website as they already show up pretty high up on Google search pages - I’ve been reading some mixed opinions and got some less than helpful advice from the website I prefer to use for hosting. Some think, as the domain name is staying the same, it shouldn’t make a difference, however, others are saying otherwise. As I’ve never actually done a migration to a new site I’ve built before, what’s the best way to go about this? submitted by /u/PhantomNate [link] [留言]
