On a whole, redesigning a website can be more difficult than an initial design. This is because, a lot of times the stakeholders are under pressure to “get the job done right.” A redesign gives companies a chance to incorporate nw ideas they have gathered, either from visiting similar sites or from mistakes they made in the initial development. There are 10 key steps to a successful redesign:

• Think before you act
• Identify redesign issues and goals
• Analyze your competition
• Involve the current audience
• Design mainly for the users
• Bring in the redesign engineer early
• Believe in usability testing
• Understand content delivery reality
• Set clear expectations
• Think long term but focus on the short term
