Scrap the old website, 

invest time into a new website.

Ignore the sunk-cost fallacy.

The website will grow brand credibility with
modern designs
 easy to use layout flow
and easy to find links, which will positively
impact the site's SEO

The client’s requirements are 

the ability to modify, create, and delete content. 

The stakeholders will be able to view the website, but will be unable to edit the site. There was no need to create website permissions for the bank and chamber of commerce.

Defining Scope

Functions: The website will allow people to search, view, book, or ask for Cindy’s Travels recommendations for booking vacations.

Users: Users may consist of Oklahomans looking for great “staycation” deals, or other travelers either stopping by Oklahoma, traveling through, or looking to take an affordable southern vacation.

Defining Scope

Dimensions: The website will offer online booking to Oklahoma hotels, motels, beds and breakfasts, inns, etc. The website will also offer recommended places based on the users query and previously viewed sites on Cindy’s Travels. The site should also allow users to contact Cindy to ask for
