Starting point
The facility walkthroughs pages were linked from places nobody fully remembered: email signatures, print, partner listings. The redesign threatened every one of those links.

01Before
Where it started, and what was in the way
The problem
When it comes to facility walkthroughs, the business faced a choice between keeping a structure that no longer fitted and breaking links it could not count.
02Build
What we built
Every legacy address was inventoried and paired with an appropriate destination, and the redirects were tested before go-live. The replacement reference page presents maintenance coverage and site access requirements under navigation labels that reflect the new structure.

In the client's words
We had sent the old facility walkthroughs link to a great many people over the years. Checking where it would land mattered as much to me as approving the new design.
