About this template
Redesigns stall on content, never on design. This project puts the content first: goals and the page list in week one, the words written before the design starts, then design, build, and a launch with redirects tested.
Tips from the template
- Set the launch date and cut pages to fit it.
- Write the words before the design; design around words is faster.
- Test every redirect before launch.
