The document outlines the typical steps in a website redesign process: 1. Hire a technical vendor and conduct internal stakeholder meetings to define requirements. 2. Create an information architecture and high-fidelity wireframes based on the organization's structure. 3. Develop pixel-perfect design prototypes for each page and implement the website. 4. Enter existing content, create new content, and go through quality assurance testing before launch. 5. Celebrate the completion but be prepared for changes and potentially another redesign in the future.

1. The Steps of the Website Redesign Process

2. 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.

4. 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.

6. 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.

7. 8: Go through a level of QA.
9: Launch the website.
10: Bask in the glory of the completed project.

8. 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?”
