Today I’m talking about how to prepare for a website redesign. Many of my clients come to me because they are ready to update or redesign their current website and they all have questions about what they can do to make sure that they’re ready to work with a designer. Today I’m going to be going through the steps that you can take to make sure that you’re ready to work with a designer when you need to update or redesign your website.

Topics Discussed:

• Why you need to start the redesign process by determining what types of updates you want to make
• The differences between a full redesign, customization, and small design tweaks
• Why you need to choose your website platform before choosing your designer
• Finding a designer through referrals
• Why you should always get on a call before hiring a designer
• Getting to know your brand
• Gathering the information you need before a website redesign
• What to expect during the design process

Action Steps:

1. Brainstorm a list of updates you need to make to your website
2. Make sure all your design files are in one place
3. If you’re ready to hire someone, ask around for referrals
