Rework from scratch

To redesign something is to design it again, typically to improve function, appearance, or performance.

The word implies deliberate revision rather than starting from scratch: The company redesigned its website to improve mobile browsing.

As a noun, a redesign is the result of this process: The magazine's redesign drew mixed reactions from longtime readers.
