A website relaunch changes an existing site's structure, design or technology. Zensations in Vienna considers content, user journeys and existing URLs. The aim is organised improvement rather than a restart that ignores what already works.
Before a relaunch, pages, content and important entry points are inventoried. Usage and search data can identify information that should be preserved. Outdated content requires an editorial decision rather than automatic deletion. A new structure should explain where existing topics will live and which additional information is genuinely needed.
When addresses change, old and new URLs are mapped. Relevant pages should lead to appropriate replacements rather than all redirecting to the homepage. Internal links, canonicals and the sitemap need to match the new structure. Even a carefully prepared relaunch can cause search fluctuations; stable rankings cannot simply be promised.
Content, navigation, forms and central workflows are tested before publishing. Afterwards, error pages, redirects and access to key pages need review. Comparisons with the previous site require an appropriate timeframe and context. A new design does not prove improved results without checking relevant user tasks and measurement data.
