Starting a web project can be a daunting task. Where do you begin? What’s the best process to make sure everything gets done? We’ve developed a set of template processes to help guide the development of new sites and redesigns. Each is just a starting point, we encourage you to copy and customize them to best fit your organization’s processes and procedures. Also included are a set of checklists. Using a checklist can help prevent errors for large, complex projects such as launching a new website. The checklist for web pages and images serve a different purpose. They are helpful to review with your content contributors during training to help communicate best practices.
