You've decided it's time. Maybe the redesign post helped you see that a refresh won't cut it, or maybe you're building your first real site. Either way, the next question is the same: what do you need to have ready before the work starts?

Projects rarely stall because of design or code. They stall waiting on content, logins and decisions. Get those lined up early and the whole thing moves faster, costs less in back-and-forth, and launches closer to the date you planned.
