  2. Goals of the Redesign

  3. Four Goals of the Redesign • The main four goals to achieve in the redesign effort: • Standardization • Reorganization • Integration • Data Consolidation (long term)

  4. Four Goals of the Redesign • Standardization • Building a website based upon Web Standards such as CSS, XHTML • Building a website with consistent navigation • Building a website that is Accessible (based upon Section 508 Rules) • Building a website with increased consistency in look and feel

  5. Four Goals of the Redesign • Reorganization: • Reorganizing our information to reflect our current priorities • Separation of the State of the Bay from the State of the Bay Program

  6. Four Goals of the Redesign • Integration • Full integration of the Bay Program suite of websites (CBP, CBGN, BJ) • Incorporation of new information throughout the design (i.e. news stories) • Integration of the new indicators framework and other initiatives

  7. Four Goals of the Redesign • Data Consolidation • Reduction of data redundancy (i.e. contacts) • A back-end system to hold and organize all information • Reuse of code and logic • A long term plan that will not likely be completed by the launch
