What to check before changing the site
Website audit before redesign should separate useful existing pages from pages that only create noise. The audit is not a design opinion; it is a decision list for what to keep, rewrite, redirect or remove.
- Inventory current URLs and decide what deserves to stay.
- Mark pages that need redirects before publishing a redesign.
- Keep search value where it already exists.
- Turn vague findings into a short launch checklist.
