Diagnose before styling
I examine structure, content, user paths and technical obstacles. The outcome is a clear decision register, not a new colour placed over an old problem.

- what gets rebuilt
DIGITAL RESTORATION / 001
An existing website already has content, addresses and search history. Redesign starts with what should remain, changes what holds people back and rebuilds only what repair can no longer solve.
Assess the current siteI examine structure, content, user paths and technical obstacles. The outcome is a clear decision register, not a new colour placed over an old problem.
Each useful URL gets a status and a destination. Valuable content remains reachable, duplicates are consolidated and redirects are planned before launch.
Content is rearranged around the visitor’s task. Type, hierarchy and interaction lead to a decision without hidden steps or avoidable friction.
Before launch, I check pages, forms, redirects, accessibility, speed and indexability. After launch, I verify what the server actually returns.
