Im trying to update my website. Currentely I am exactly where I want to be on the google search terms and I was wondering what is the easiest way to keep it the same. Can you just redirect users with a simple redirect code? Or will that not work which means I need to use an SEO company again or try to optimize the site myself.

My site is www.sabellastudios.com

and I know my new site has a lot of crawling errors that I just found out that i need to fix but i really would like to launch the site and fix the errors later any way to just redirect users and call it a day? im going for a low budget fix as my company is dying and in need of a cheap way to boost our image.

Yeah, you're best off redirecting old URLs to new ones, and fast.

If so, it is best to do a permanent orientation, but only if you need to refer to this url.

Google "301 redirect". Will help you redirect your old site to your new one.

THANKS GUYS! Perfect. Quick and easy! The site looks good but my SEO needs work so I figure why do that if the old site already is up on the top of the list where we want it. oh and I am using the same url but right now it redirects to a php homepage im going to have it direct it to my new html design.
