Union Website Redesign Checklist
Plan the content, forms, redirects, hosting, member resources, and launch details before rebuilding your union website.
A union website redesign can get messy when content, forms, documents, redirects, DNS, hosting, and approval owners are handled separately.
Use this checklist to gather the practical details before design work starts.
Redesign checklist
| Area | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Current site inventory | List all public pages, private resources, PDFs, forms, calendars, news, menus, and high-traffic URLs. |
| Member tasks | Identify what members need most: updates, documents, event registration, dues, job calls, grievance help, or portal access. |
| Forms | Confirm where each form submits, who receives it, what fields are required, and what tracking must be preserved. |
| Redirects | Map important old URLs to new pages so search traffic and bookmarked member resources do not break. |
| Hosting and DNS | Confirm domain registrar, DNS access, SSL, email records, hosting, backups, and admin ownership. |
| Accessibility and mobile | Check navigation, headings, contrast, forms, phone usability, and readable documents. |
| SEO and analytics | Preserve titles, meta descriptions, Search Console, Analytics, sitemap, robots, and canonical host rules. |
| Launch support | Decide who updates the site after launch and how urgent changes get handled. |
Files to gather
Use it before the demo
- Current sitemap, page list, important PDFs, bylaws, contracts, newsletters, event calendars, and contact forms.
- Logo files, brand colors, photos, officer/staff contacts, domain/DNS access, hosting access, analytics access, and Search Console access.
- A short list of pages that must be live at launch and pages that can wait for phase two.

Keep the worksheet tied to real work
Use current workflows
The strongest answers come from the forms, spreadsheets, reports, files, and member requests your team handles today.
Bring real examples to the demo so the review stays grounded in daily union operations.
Route the request clearly
Choose software demo, website project, migration or replacement, managed IT support, competitor alternative, or not sure yet in the form.
That helps Union Impact route the request to the right review path after submission.

What your team should leave with
Clearer requirements
A useful tool should help your team list current workflows, missing information, ownership questions, and next actions.
That gives officers and staff a cleaner way to compare vendors, scope a project, or prepare for migration.
- Current workflow and pain points.
- Required forms, reports, files, and access rules.
- Launch, migration, or support questions.
- Recommended next step for a focused demo or review.
Better vendor conversations
The goal is not to make the checklist complicated. The goal is to make the sales call more useful.
If your union can explain what has to work on day one, the demo can focus on fit instead of generic features.
Union Website Redesign Checklist Building Blocks
Content inventory
Keeps pages, files, and resources from getting lost.
Form routing
Protects contact paths and lead attribution fields.
Redirect planning
Preserves old URLs where they matter.
Launch ownership
Clarifies who approves and who updates the site.
Member access
Keeps private resources and portal paths in scope.
Support path
Plans what happens after go-live.
After you submit
Request routing
Your request is routed by the request type selected in the form: software demo, website project, migration or replacement, managed IT support, competitor alternative, or not sure yet.
Add short notes about your current system, current website, pain points, timeline, and the decision you need to make.
Focused follow-up
Union Impact can use the worksheet details to focus the next conversation around the right modules, website scope, migration path, support needs, or competitor comparison.
Do not paste passwords into the form. Secure access sharing should happen through a separate follow-up path.
Redesign risk to avoid
Decision support
The biggest redesign risk is not usually design. It is losing forms, files, redirects, member resources, or ownership details during launch.
A practical checklist keeps the project grounded in what members and staff need after the new site goes live.
Next step
Use the form on this page to send the request type that fits best. If you are not sure, choose not sure yet and describe the workflow you want to improve.
The most useful submissions include current tools, current pain points, required forms or reports, and the decision your team needs to make.
