Smaller Project UX• Fairly predictable• Can do in small teams or solo• Easy to see patterns in functionality/content• Blog• News Page• Events, etc.
• Often dealing with 1-3 stakeholders• Sites are often promotional, with limited functionality

Larger project UX• Generally unpredictable—or predictable in really
annoying ways• Team dynamics are important, but messy• Patterns constantly shift• Decisionmakers, stakeholders and client contacts
constantly shift• Sites involve increasingly complex functionality and
content
