The LIVE Website Redesign Series is turning the corner of the discovery phase: today we break down Efficiencies by term, desirability, and obtainability, ranking them and then beginning to categorize them with the User Profile's we created alongside the client. This process helps us align the goals and needs of the client and customer within the ThisWeekIn brand, and will serve as a guidepost as we begin prioritizing the work that will go into redesigning the client's site.

Hey everybody I am back again! Thanks for all the support, that is the reason I am doing these tutorials again! I had to get life stuff squared away but I am back and hopefully going to continue helping when I can! I enlisted in the ARMY to help pay off some of my student loans so you can understand the amount of stuff I had to get taken care of. Keep subscribing and suggesting tutorials, I'll do my best to touch base on those suggestions when I have time. Here's the list of tools, all of which are free. Many of these require Firefox, if you aren't using this browser you aren't doing a good job in Web Design already! ALL OF THESE ARE FREE DOWNLOADS. SO START WORKING EFFICIENTLY. 1. FireFox 2. Web Developer Plugin 3. FireBug 4. FIreFTP 5. YSlow 6. DIMDIM.com 7. Skype 8. ColorZilla 9. Fangs 10. Abduction
