Teamwork + Process = Great Redesign

If you read Brennan's article, you already know that it took more than nine months for this new Waste & Recycling News internet home to be unveiled. Nine months seemed like a short period of time to me, though I won't lie, there were days I just wanted it to be done!

I'd alternate between ...

A happy dance because of the awesomeness

But ...

Believe me when I tell you that I am one of the luckiest web coordinators out there. The Waste and Recycling News redesign was a relatively smooth process entirely because of the people I work with. I got rapid decisions from the departments within the publication and quick implementation and support from the developers. I can't stress enough that the people who are working on your team can make a project exciting and enjoyable or a complete nightmare.

Here are the top three things I learned that I would like to pass on to anyone redesigning their website:

  • No one can see what is in your head. Give clear and detailed instructions.
  • Realize that what's in your head may not look like what you thought it would when it's implemented.
  • There will probably be some details that weren't directly addressed; take a deep breath and find a solution.

I'm ecstatic to be able to share the result of the last nine months. We are constantly evolving to bring our readers top quality news and information.

I'm always open for feedback or questions. And don't forget to Follow WRN on Twitter and "like" us on Facebook.
