Subject: Website Redesign — Week 3 Update Hi Sarah, Quick update on the redesign project this week. We completed wireframes for the homepage and About page and ran them through our internal design review. The team identified two areas for refinement — we're incorporating that feedback now and expect finalized wireframes by end of next week. On the technical side, we're resolving a mobile navigation issue and have flagged a dependency on the backend team's API documentation, which is currently our primary blocker. Next week: completing inner page wireframes and moving into the CSS build phase. Let me know if you'd like to review anything before then. Best, [Your name]
