Website Redesign Quality Plan
This is a practical guide to building a quality plan for a website redesign project — how quality will be planned, assured and controlled, adapted to the realities of redesigning an existing website.
What a Quality Plan is
A quality plan is how quality will be planned, assured and controlled. For the full concept and how it works in general, see Quality Management Plan. On a website redesign project it plays the same role, tuned to this kind of work.
Why it matters for a Website Redesign project
Website Redesign projects live or die on redesigning an existing website. A well-built quality plan gives the team a shared, explicit reference for exactly that — reducing ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and making problems visible early enough to act. Skipping it, or doing it generically, is how website redesign projects drift into avoidable delay and cost.
What to include
- Quality standards
- Quality metrics
- QA activities
- QC / inspection approach
Website Redesign-specific considerations
Tailor the quality plan to the risks that most often derail website redesign projects:
- Scope creep
- Content migration
- SEO preservation
Example
On a real website redesign project, the quality plan would be shaped by redesigning an existing website. In particular, it should explicitly account for the project’s biggest risks — scope creep, content migration, SEO preservation — rather than treating them as afterthoughts.
