Website Redesign Checklist

Most redesigns fail the same way. They change how a site looks before anyone figures out why it isn't working. This checklist runs the audit first, turns what it finds into a diagnosis, and only then moves to structure, design, and launch.

It follows six stages: Audit, Diagnose, Prioritize, Restructure, Rebuild, Measure. It includes a section for ruling out technical causes before committing to a rebuild, because some sites need one file fixed, not a redesign. It ends after launch, because a redesign is done when the original problems are gone, not when the site looks finished.

What's inside

• 18 sections across Audit, Diagnose, Prioritize, Restructure, Rebuild, and Measure
• Inventory, content, structure, UX, mobile and accessibility, SEO, and conversion audits
• A symptom-to-cause diagnosis, plus a checklist for ruling out technical causes
• A page decision matrix and an impact and effort grid
• A new structure plan and a redirect map
• A redesign brief, a three-phase launch checklist, post-launch measurement, and a punch list

Who it's for
