    Changing content management systems and web design are the most common things that affect search visibility amongst the list of issues listed above. I would highly recommend reading “Site Re-Design? Call Your SEO Expert First!” to get a good handle on the good and bad of factoring how an updated web site should consider search engines.
    Most companies engage a web design agency or in-house design staff to create the new web site with an emphasis on front end usability for customers and ease of use/maintenance on the back end site management. What they often FAIL to consider is how changing URL syntax (ex: webpage.htm to webpage.php or webpage.aspx) will confuse search engines.

    A map of old to new URLs needs to be implemented along with a system of permanent (301) redirects. As with a changing domain name, top referring link sources should be identified from web analytics and contacted if necessary, to change what URL they’re linking to.

    Pages that cannot be mapped need to be dealt with using custom 404 error pages which should be user and search engine friendly. After the CMS and site design and redirects have been implemented, it’s important to continue monitoring web analytics for broken links and 404 errors so they can be fixed.

    Yes, your redesign is going to affect your rankings. The question is how it's going to change. Changing your url structure will definitely have quite an impact on your rankings. It's wise to read some more information about the effect of the url structure on SEO.

    No, Website Re-design doesn't affect search engine ranking, if you update it with SEO guidelines. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dombowkett/

    If your developer has knowledge about SEO, it will be less harmful. though minor fluctuations in SERPs will be there once you switch to the new website.
