Hi Dan, In our research, we found the teams most likely to end up with great experiences (by any of a dozen criteria which you can measure such things) do it without any whole-scale redesigns of their web sites. Instead the best teams reduce the scope to small sections of the site, often just a single page or piece of functionality. This allows them to constantly be changing the site, evolving it as they learn about their users and their business' needs. Think Amazon & Yahoo. When was the last time you saw them launch a redesign of anything more than a page or two? There's a lot written about this, from us and others. Here's some resources: 7 Components for a Successful Web Site Redesign http://www.uie.com/articles/components_for_redesign/ The Quiet Death of the Major Re-Launch http://www.uie.com/articles/death_of_relaunch/ The 3 Steps for Creating an Experience Vision http://tinyurl.com/2nr6w2 One Year Later on Major Re-launches: "We were warned, you have been warned" http://tinyurl.com/yvta2c (And something you can listen to in your car) Usability Tools Podcast: Avoiding Redesigns http://tinyurl.com/3dkg5s Hope this helps, Jared Jared M.
