The verdict in three sentences
An institutional redesign is framed by scope and phasing, not aesthetics: content governance, multilingual, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility and migration of the existing site weigh as much as design. Corporate Standard runs between 5 and 8M FCFA (7,620 to 12,200 EUR), Premium between 10 and 18M FCFA, with a timeline of 8 to 16 weeks. A 12-point checklist avoids the blind spots that make budgets drift.
The two corporate redesign tiers
The choice depends on page count, integrations and compliance requirements. Here are the 2026 ranges.
| Criterion | Corporate Standard | Corporate Premium |
|---|---|---|
| Budget FCFA | 5,000,000 – 8,000,000 | 10,000,000 – 18,000,000 |
| Budget EUR | 7,620 – 12,200 | 15,245 – 27,440 |
| Pages | 15 – 30 | 30 – 60+ |
| Languages | FR / EN | 3+ (FR/EN/AR) |
| CMS | Sanity headless | Sanity + advanced workflow |
| Integrations | newsletter, analytics | ERP / Salesforce / HubSpot |
| Timeline | 8 – 12 weeks | 12 – 16 weeks |
| Support included | 6 months | 12 months + SLA |

A pan-African foundation in Dakar has a 24-page bilingual site to redesign. Corporate Standard scope at 7,000,000 FCFA, 10-week timeline. The content migration (24 pages + 40 articles) and 64 301 redirects are budgeted upfront, avoiding a change order. The WCAG audit reveals 18 accessibility fixes, integrated into sprint 3. Result: on-budget delivery, validated AA compliance and +22% page views on the English version thanks to better internal linking.
FAQ
Why does a corporate redesign cost more than a showcase site? Because of governance, multilingual, accessibility and IS integrations. Pure development is only part of the 5 to 18M FCFA budget.
How long should I plan for? From 8 to 16 weeks depending on the tier, with weekly sprints and regular reviews with the Comms and IT teams.
Is WCAG accessibility really mandatory? For an institution, yes: AA is the expected standard, and an audit is included to document compliance.
How do I avoid losing existing rankings? With a page-by-page 301 redirect plan and meta-tag carryover, validated in checklist point 2.
Can the CMS let our teams publish on their own? Yes: Sanity offers a multi-level validation workflow and training is included to make teams autonomous.
