Rolling out a new website can be an incredibly daunting, tedious and complicated process. This is especially true when (as is typically the case) the lion's share of the workload falls on a single person. If that's you, I'm here to tell you that it doesn't have to be that way.

When planning a web project you can keep your sanity if you are able to establish additional support through others. So where can you look? Well you should look both within and outside the organization.

Gain Support Within your Organization by:

1. Establishing the project sponsor and getting buy-in.
2. Creating a web committee with representatives from various departments.
3. Find and hire support personnel to aid in maintenance (possibly even an intern)

Gain Support Outside your Organization by:

1. Working with a marketing or advertising agency to ensure brand and message consistency. (like one of our agency partners)
2. Buying and using a web content management system. (like novo)
3. Hire a writer to help establish a single, consistent voice throughout your site.

And just keep in mind, building a website is not a simple task, it takes time and a team can be a sure way to help alleviate some of the pain.
