Timeline

Proposed 60-Day Launch Path

The first month solves architecture. The second month builds, migrates, QAs, and ships. Launching without the architecture work would be faster in the same way skipping the foundation makes a building faster.

What makes 60 days realistic for a site this size: AI does the content sort, humans make the calls. A traditional manual audit of 6,000+ pages takes a team of content strategists three to four weeks. AI compresses that to one week of automated classification plus a week of human review.

Phase 1

Architecture · Days 0–30

The first month solves architecture. AI does the content sort. Humans make the calls.

Day 0

Signature + Access

Kickoff and provisioning. Nothing built yet; everything unblocked.

  • Confirm scope and contract signature
  • Identify IT/DNS contact at Logan
  • Confirm Search Console and GA4 access
  • Confirm WordPress and admin access
  • Provision dashboard workspace
  • Kick off AI content audit pipeline against the existing site
Methodology
Days 7–14

AI Content Inventory & Sort

Every page on logan.edu — the 3,098 in the sitemap, the 6,000+ Google has indexed, and the 407 traffic-earning PDFs found in the audit — runs through an AI classification pipeline.

What it does
  • Reads every page and categorizes by type (program, faculty, event, news, blog, classified, policy, archive)
  • Scores each page for traffic, freshness, topical depth, and migration value
  • Tags each page with a recommended action: KEEP, REWRITE, MERGE, or RETIRE
  • Surfaces duplicates, orphans, and content that should be consolidated
  • Flags accreditation-sensitive content that needs human eyes regardless

Output: a structured inventory Logan reviews on Day 14. No more guessing what to migrate. No more spreadsheets with 3,000 rows and no decisions attached.

This is the work that used to take agencies a month to do badly. We do it in a week and the humans on Logan's team decide what stays.

Day 14

IA + Keep/Cut Review

Logan's team walks through the AI inventory, makes the final calls, and locks the architecture.

  • Review AI-tagged inventory (keep / rewrite / merge / retire)
  • Finalize three-college structure: Chiropractic, Health Sciences, Life Sciences
  • Identify top traffic pages to preserve carefully
  • Decide Classified Listings: in scope, out, or rebuilt
  • Confirm 301 redirect strategy for retired URLs
  • Lock the new sitemap structure
Day 30

Design + Prototype Approval

Visual direction approved, no surprises waiting for launch.

  • Homepage design direction
  • Program landing page template
  • College landing page template (Chiropractic, Health Sciences, Life Sciences)
  • Application-portal handoff design (apply.logan.edu visual continuity)
  • Dashboard visual direction if selected as Phase 2 add-on
  • Mobile pass on all primary templates
Phase 2

Build & Launch · Days 30–60

The second month builds, migrates, QAs, and ships.

Day 45

Migration Draft + QA

The site exists as a real, reviewable thing — not yet public.

  • Top 500 traffic-earning pages migrated to Lovable
  • AI-rewritten content reviewed and approved (program pages, faculty bios, blog refreshes)
  • Metadata pass on all migrated pages (titles, descriptions, schema)
  • Internal linking structure tested
  • Redirect map draft for retired URLs
  • Core Web Vitals check on mobile and desktop
  • Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) verification
  • AI Student Support Bot deployed in test mode
Day 60

Launch + Verification

Site goes live. Monitoring active.

  • Publish site to production
  • Verify all 301 redirects firing correctly
  • Submit new sitemap to Google Search Console
  • Monitor index coverage and ranking signals for first 72 hours
  • Begin managed service if selected
  • Day 60 launch report delivered to Logan leadership
Phase 3

Optimization · Day 90+

Post-launch review and tier evaluation. The data tells us what to do next.

Day 90+

Optimization Review

First substantive measurement of the rebuild's impact.

  • Review GSC and GA4 data for the first 30 days post-launch
  • Quantify rank changes, click-through improvements, and traffic recovery
  • Evaluate managed service tier (Tier 1 default; upgrade to Tier 2 if growth signals support it)
  • Prioritize the next ten improvements based on what the data surfaces
  • Quarterly business review presented to Logan leadership
