SnaeldaHow re-spin works: from an old website to a fresh draft in about 30 seconds

Most small businesses don't need a website project. They already have a website — it just looks like it was made a decade ago, because it was. Re-spin is our shortcut: paste the address of the site you have, and Snaelda spins it into a new draft built from your own content.
What you do
- Go to Re-spin and paste your current website's address.
- Wait about half a minute while we read the site and build the draft.
- Compare the before and after, then open the draft in the editor to adjust anything.
- Publish when you're happy, on a Snaelda address or your own domain.
No signup is needed to see the result. You create an account when you want to keep the draft.
What we take from your site
Re-spin is about your content, not your old design. We read the pages a visitor would read and pull out:
- Who you are: business name, what you do, and the tone you write in.
- What you offer: services, opening hours, and contact details.
- Your words: about text and testimonials, cleaned up and kept in the site's own language.
- Your brand: your logo, your main colour, and the photos you already use.
Besides the page you paste, we may read up to five pages on the same site, such as your about, services and contact pages. We never follow links to other sites.
What we deliberately leave behind
We don't copy your old layout. The new site is built from Snaelda's own designed sections, so it looks current, loads fast and works well on a phone, while still being recognisably yours. That's the point: your content, a new design.
When your site is hard to read
Some websites are built so that there is almost nothing to read until a browser runs a lot of scripts. We try a full browser render in that case. If we still can't get enough content, we don't give you a broken page. You get whatever we managed to salvage, filled into the normal "describe your business" form, so you can add the rest in a few sentences.
It's a first draft, not the final word
Re-spin gets you most of the way, and you finish the rest. Check the facts — opening hours, prices, phone numbers — before you publish. Everything is editable, and nothing goes live until you publish it.
