The Steps of the Website Redesign Process
When an organization takes on a website redesign, it generates hype and excitement, creating a sense of empowerment for the project owners. However, only
by empowering the end-users of the site can the project owners achieve and sustain their long-term
goals. While this is no small task, it is one that can be managed, systematically executed, and driven by
reliable data.
The Typical Website Redesign Process:
1: Hire a vendor that excels in technical prowess and skill, that is, the team of .NET mavericks.
2: Conduct internal stakeholder meetings.
3: Define an information architecture based on the organization’s internal structure.
4: Develop high-fidelity wireframes.
5: Create pixel-perfect design comps that represent each page.
6: Implement the website according to the recommendations of the vendor.
7: Enter (or dynamically migrate) existing content; create some new content.
8: Go through a level of QA.9: Launch the website.10: Bask in the glory of the completed project.
11: Field requests for changes because the “website no longer meets our needs.”
12: Get the leadership team together to ask, “Is it time to redesign the website?”
