Backdoor redesigns: YES!

One of the most dreaded buzz words in any company today is still "Site Redesign". As I have written before, most companies are still so fragmented that the thought of embarking on a site redesign is practically an expletive. Seriously! Its just assume that the project will be take longer than planned, go over budget, and be fraught with internal arguments.

Want to get serious about making a change on your website - today??!!? Do a backdoor redesign. A backdoor redesign is where you start organically (hopefully in order of largest potential impact), do some testing with some newly designed pages and find out what your new design and usability enhancements do to your conversion numbers.

Learn from your mistakes, learn from your success and show some progress all the way.
This will allow you get started sooner rather than later, and should help eliminate some useless internal "friction" that is so often associated with the Site Redesign.

It works!
