3. Wireframing

Construct a site map or user flow that a possible new user journey would take.

Compare pros/cons for two to three best user flow ideas.

Reference and apply most current best practices for IA, UI, and UX designs.

Check off on content audit, usability, states, functionality... etc.

4. Prototyping

Quick click-through interactions showing flows using visual prototyping tools.

Discuss with developers what methods make sense to implement.

Apologize for inhumane/insane approaches and give peace offerings.
