Other forms: redesigned, redesigning, redesigns
To redesign is to design something again, differently. Redesign the site, a full redesign, redesigned from scratch.
The commonest failure is redesigning what looks wrong rather than what works badly, which is why a redesign that changes the appearance and not the structure usually solves nothing. Users hate redesigns at first regardless of quality, which makes the early feedback unreliable. Note that the noun is stressed on the first syllable.
