Refresh the online shop

New look, same orders: products, payments and redirects tested before switching over.

  1. Agree what changes and what stays (Head of ecommerce signs off)
  2. Export the full product and page list
  3. Rebuild templates and product pages
  4. Map every old address to a new one. Most people forget this: Missing redirects lose search traffic that took years to build
  5. Test checkout with each payment type
  6. Check delivery, returns and privacy pages are right
  7. Switch over at a quiet time
  8. Watch orders and errors for the first week
