Modernisation of the old page should include texts, signatures and materials hidden in an interactive presentation. This is a separate stage before a new layout and contemporary animations are created.
Collect accessible page tracks
Search for source files, copies of content, illustrations and documents transmitted to the contractor. Also helpful are the downloads or recordings showing how the site works. Do not assume that all the texts are in one easy to read file.

Separate play from update
Save what was actually on the page and then mark the information you need to confirm. The old service description may contain an outdated contact, scope or product name. Retrieving the text does not mean that it is suitable for re-published without an editorial.
For example, the recording of the animated presentation can show three display screens of the offer. In the list it is worth keeping their order and meaning, but the new service may need one readable subpage with three sections.
Prepare a material map
Note for each passage:
- the source and quality of the available record;
- the subject matter and the original purpose;
- the person confirming the validity;
- the planned location in the new structure;
- missing photographs or signatures;
- the decision to publish, improve or omit.
Mark insecure passages. Do not write from the memory data that no one has confirmed, just to fill the gap in the recreated presentation.
Receive content before effects
