Website Structure Analysis
By analyzing the structure of your website,
the direction of your renewal will be determined.
Before renewing your website, it is essential to analyze the current site structure. We conduct external analysis using information retrieval software and internal analysis by receiving information about your server, CMS, etc.
These analysis results are important points for determining how to proceed with the renewal.
Site Structure Analysis to Determine Renewal Direction
External Structure Analysis Example: Total Number of Pages and Files
Using information retrieval software, we check the current number of pages on your site and the number of files such as Word and PDF stored on the server.
If problems such as "unused old documents were found" or "test files from the work process were left behind" are identified, we recommend organizing them during the renewal.
External Structure Analysis Example: Domain Ownership Verification
To publish a website, a domain (e.g., ○○.co.jp, ○○.com, ○○.jp) is required. For example, if you are switching to a new server for a renewal, the time and cost of the transfer work will vary depending on whether you are the owner of the domain.
Verify domain ownership at an early stage.
Internal Structure Analysis Example: CMS Investigation
If your current website uses a CMS (Content Management System), we check what kind of software is being used and how much data is stored within it. Depending on the state of the CMS, it may be possible to use the data as is or import it into a new CMS.
We conduct investigations based on our expertise with various CMS, including WordPress, Movable Type, and SITE PUBLIS.
Internal Analysis Example: System Operating Status
If your website has programs running for features like contact forms, advanced search, or login functionality, the renewal process needs to be handled with care. If you proceed with the renewal without proper investigation, there's a risk that the program versions may not function in the new environment, leading to issues where the programs won't operate on the new server.
If you can provide us with your current website's server information, we can conduct a detailed investigation.
Identify necessary tasks through accurate analysis
Analyzing the website's structure is a crucial step in identifying the tasks required for a renewal. Launching a renewal without structural analysis can lead to unnecessary work later on, resulting in unexpected expenses.
In addition to structural analysis, we can offer proposals with a multifaceted approach by employing the following analysis methods:
- User Research & Needs Analysis
- 3C/4P Analysis
- Access Analysis
- Heuristic Evaluation
- Server/System Investigation
