Website Migration Planning

  1. 1. * Valerie Forrestal Web Services Librarian College of Staten Island valerie.forrestal@csi.cuny.edu @vforrestal
  2. 2. * * * * * * * * * * Learning curve Will you need user accounts? Will it continue to be supported? Server requirements Back end code Versioning API functionality Functions vs. content Site performance
  3. 3. * *How many templates will you need? *1 vs 2 column design *Right-side columns good for contact info, links or widgets *BUT- you don’t want to force it! Avoid empty or redundant side columns *How will your mobile version handle right column? Drop it? Stack them? *What kind of navigation do you want? What nav should be on every page? *Deep footer with related links from school/other departments (academic calendar, writing center, staff directories, registrar, IT, etc)
  4. 4. * * * * Create annotated sitemap for old site Identify content that does not need to be migrated Identify content that would benefit from “object” approach (ie-forms, policies, contact info) * This content will be pulled into “blocks” which can then be * * reused * For consistency, edits are made in one place and pushed to pages that contain the blocks Identify content that needs restructuring, or that would benefit from additional sub menus that template doesn’t provide. Identify content to be pushed into 3rd party software (like LibGuides.)
  5. 5. * User-testing (fall) Site design (spring) User-testing Content migration (summer) User-testing Site launch (pre-fall) User-testing Planning/design (spring) Content migration (intersession) Build (summer) User-testing (fall) Site launch (winter break)
