This document discusses how to conduct audits and inventories as part of redesigning a website. It recommends starting with content audits and interface inventories to identify all existing patterns and inconsistencies. This lays the groundwork for establishing an effective design system using the Atomic Design methodology. Key aspects of the methodology include defining a shared vocabulary through an atomic workflow and creating a style guide and pattern library as the cornerstone of the new design. Presenting fully designed mockups is suggested as the most effective way to get stakeholder buy-in. The benefits outlined are cohesive experiences, increased team workflow, and establishing an accessible and future-proof foundation.
