• Deeper understanding of the user base is required, surveys, forums, personas and other techniques are usually implemented.

• Organize functionally in information architecture
• Create the appropriate navigation tools
• Develop user tools based on behaviors
• Develop concepts and test the acceptance and measure its performance
• reinforce the information architecture with results based decisions
• Develop Prototypes and build a community of beta users
  

• Validate the value of the project and its functional role
• Validate the value of the measured results achieved
• Validate the value against benchmarking
• Validate the value against the competition
