Anyone who\u2019s ever taken on a large home remodel knows the time, stress, money, unforeseen challenges, and people management that comes with the new look. The amount of time spent planning, strategizing, and anticipating simply cannot account for the mold that it turns out was under the floor or the delayed shipping on that tile you picked out, or the endless humidity that prevents the wallpaper from sticking.
The remodeling, redesigning, and restructuring of a website is a lot like a house project. If your floor is sinking, your appliances are older than you are, and don\u2019t get me started on the roof \u2013 yeah, you might need to spend some time and money on your website. It happens fast, your site not working well on mobile, or the information about your company that rolled over year after year suddenly being, well, years old, or the updates that need to be performed piling up so it just doesn\u2019t load for people who access it on Internet Explorer 9 (yeah, you\u2019re out there and you probably don\u2019t even know who you are).
The front end of designing a new or newer website is fun. You pick a look and feel that matches your brand. You select or create some updated images or video. You have concepts for how things will live and breathe and function in this new, up-to-date world. It\u2019s exciting. All the other stuff? The curling carpet, the peeling paint, the structural integrity? If you\u2019re one of those guys\/gals \u2013 that excites you more than picking out the new color probably, but if you\u2019re a me, you\u2019re scared because it\u2019s out of your skillset and therefore quite a lot of your control.
Whether you\u2019re DIYing it or hiring an agency to remodel your website, here are some handy take-aways for having a finished product worth a cocktail party, or e-commerce experience:<\/p>

  • You need good bones:<\/b> house or website, the bones of your system need to be in place to hold things together. Sometimes, like when you host different websites on different domain platforms, or different people signed up for different services at different times, or to get to this part you need to log in here, but to get this to work you have to log in as this person who doesn\u2019t work here anymore\u2026 you realize that though it maybe wasn\u2019t in the plan or budget, you need the structural integrity behind the scenes to support logical site management.
    • Host together.<\/li>
    • Edit together.<\/li>
    • Have a team share the data, not managed by one person who doesn\u2019t even work here anymore.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>
    • You wanted to keep the carpet, but the carpet is no good<\/b>: Yes, it\u2019s vintage shag, and it got you through a lot of tough times and matched every couch you\u2019ve ever owned, but the carpet is too old \u2013 it\u2019s full of errors, (even grammatical ones you never noticed \u2013 yikes), and it just isn\u2019t you anymore. Update the carpet. Update the copy.<\/span><\/li>
    • What you imagine and what actually is possible might be different<\/b>: Even though I thought vaulted ceilings would really add some height to my living room doesn\u2019t mean that I have the actual space to make it happen. On paper, things look really good. In reality, websites are living, breathing (so to speak) entities that are bound by code, logic, and ultimately are also victims of human error. When your imagination dreamed of an entirely new, state of the art, intuitive website, maybe the budget, practicality, and skillset of everyone involved doesn\u2019t actually match your dreams.<\/span>
      • Set expectations that are realistic.<\/li>
      • Hold your teams accountable for either executing them or making a plan to achieve them in the future (maybe I can\u2019t have vaulted ceilings now, but that doesn\u2019t mean never\u2026)<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>

        On the other end of a massive website remodel, I have learned a lot. I learned a lot of what I don\u2019t know about my own \u201chouse\u201d, I learned to trust my gut, and I learned to adapt and adjust to the reality of each situation as it arises. It\u2019s pretty, it works, and maybe it would never have been as beautiful as what I dreamed, but what\u2019s key is that the websites are now in a place to be managed, updated, and are adaptable to our growing household \u2013 and those possibilities are just as exciting.<\/p>
