How it worked before
Nobody had a complete list of where the touring vehicle requests pages were linked from. The redesign was about to find out the hard way.
Launch, changes and handover
No dead ends: migrating touring vehicle requests properly
With touring vehicle requests, previously shared links now arrive at relevant current information rather than a dead end. The scope protects continuity of access; it does not assume search rankings are unaffected.

Where the business started
What it was costing the team
When it comes to touring vehicle requests, every old address was a potential dead end for someone following a saved link. Nobody had an inventory, so nobody knew the size of the risk.
What we built
Legacy addresses were inventoried, each mapped to a relevant destination, and the full redirect plan reviewed before launch. The new reference content covers vehicle dimensions and permitted-use guidance under navigation that matches the new structure.
- URL inventory
- Redirect map
- Internal link updates
- Missing-page checks
- Launch review
How long it took, and in what order
20 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover.

What changed
With touring vehicle requests, previously shared links now arrive at relevant current information rather than a dead end. The scope protects continuity of access; it does not assume search rankings are unaffected.
I cared about the redirect map as much as the redesign. Too many people hold our old touring vehicle requests link for it to be treated as an afterthought.

Questions about this project
How long did this project take?
20 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover. That is 20 working days from the client approving the content to handover. A whole new site launches in 7 to 15 days from the onboarding call depending on the plan.
What exactly was built?
Legacy addresses were inventoried, each mapped to a relevant destination, and the full redirect plan reviewed before launch. The new reference content covers vehicle dimensions and permitted-use guidance under navigation that matches the new structure. The parts used were: URL inventory, Redirect map, Internal link updates, Missing-page checks, Launch review.
Why is the business not named?
The client asked us not to publish its name or web address, so it is described by type and region: a adventure campervan rental in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Cameron Milford, reservations lead, is quoted in their own words.
Does this cost extra on top of a plan?
No. Work like this sits inside a managed plan rather than a separate project fee. Plans start at $127 a month, with a $697 one-time build fee invoiced only after the site is live and approved.
