Component Inventories for Site Migrations
Why cataloging templates and components reduces migration surprises.
An inventory gives a redesign team a shared map of templates, modules, states, and dependencies. It also exposes where a screenshot-based handoff is hiding behavior.
What to record
List component name, purpose, source locations, content fields, variants, responsive states, accessibility rules, analytics dependencies, owner, and destination. Mark unknowns rather than silently guessing.
Methodology
This process note synthesizes component, accessibility, and migration documentation. It is intended for planning and review, not as a claim about project savings.

Frequently asked questions
Is a component inventory only for large sites?
No. Even a small site benefits from knowing which repeated patterns must remain consistent.
What happens to unknowns?
Give each one an owner and resolution date; do not turn an assumption into an undocumented requirement.
