Initial user research, analytics review and a business objective review.

Try understanding the goals of the redesign in terms of business priorities. Then dig into analytics and user research. Try and find out the strengths and weaknesses of the current site are. Who are the current user groups? What are their entry points to the site? Paths/flows? Are there current pain points of users not being met? Is the site too complex? Too many initial paths for a user, circular paths, etc. Missing vital information? Are you missing out on a certain large audience’s needs? Etc. All this should come out in the initial user research.

Do a competitive analysis too. What are your competitors doing? What are the current trends in the category?

Then put all this into a report with recommendations, timelines, next steps, etc.

Research. Who is their desired audience, what sites do they use regularly, what trends are common across the industry they’re in, how can they differentiate themselves without being different for no reason... even some testing of the current site to see what is easy to do and what isn’t to know what is working for people now (even if it looks terrible it may be usable still).

Depends how long you have. If I have more than 3 days then I start with research. Most of the time I receive a strategic/creative brief and then start sketching and wireframing right away. UX at an agency is very different than client side.

Yeah, having done both, the UX done at agencies is closer to UI work when client-side. It took me almost a year to break the habit of going right to sketching vs researching when I switched.

Need advice: I am very early in my career. I am currently the project manager of our ERP implementation. My boss, the CEO, has offered me a position as a NetSuite administrator with the company paying for my certifications. My first response was that I am not really interested in IT and would rather do something more business related. He has since offered me a position as an associate project manager. I know this decision will effect the trajectory of my career. Did I make the right choice?

Been practicing a year now. Of 6 attorneys, 4 will be retiring soon, and I was brought in to hopefully take over. I am troubled: first that my partners largely provide me with no guidance. They handed me a client with a large quantity of fairly straightforward casework and have been hands off since. There also hasn’t been any talk of a raise/performance review. How should I ask for guidance/mentor ship? How do I ask for a raise, or should I presume one is coming?

Hello everyone,

I am looking to start a career as a solutions consultant and am wondering if there are any certifications that you would recommend that would help give me an edge.

I am currently interviewing for Netsuite but if I do not end up getting the job, will definitely apply for similar roles at other companies.

I have seen online websites suggest project management certs or sales certs. I wanted to post in here to see if there were any recommendations that you all had.

So at this point, I just had a 3rd client in my 8+ consulting career ever blow up on me for the silliest thing. We haven’t even started delivery yet. I’m not phased by this, but starting to think this is no longer a coincidence.

All 3 have been transformation projects. Is this just the norm for these? Am I overreacting?

So I've been working at my company for 8 months now as a business analyst. Both senior consultants on my project are leaving, with no replacements in sight, so the project work is most likely going to fall to me. I am already doing most of the work of a full fledged consultant as defined by the companies description. I'm only getting paid 55k a year which I'm being told by other employees is below industry standard (they take around 70% of my billable rate) and I'm feeling kind of stuck. Advise?
