It's all finished. The personas, the card sorting, lots of testing iterations, beautifully rewritten all the content and it's been implement and sits on your lovely new CMS.
The contractor hands over the sparkling documentation positively bursting with fab Visio wireframes and sitemaps. And as they walk off into the sunset, you wonder ... what now? Where are you going to be in twelve months time? How do you make sure that all the good work doesn't get undone? Of course you'd probably have a style guide and bolt down the interface itself, but with a distributed authoring model, how do you manage content so the site doesn't spiral out of control again? My questions: - Are they any additional 'rules' and guidance that could accompany the site maps to keep contributors 'in line' and support self regulation? - Is there any guidance out there on developing editorial models and policies? - Does anyone have any advice or pointers for the management and maintenance of a site design and structure once it's been implemented? Anecdotes and pitfalls? Thanks ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
