And even if you aren't fussed about incoming links (?!) then presuming you get any traffic at all from search engines be sure to implement 301 redirects. When we relaunched our site just over two years ago we implemented nearly 1,000 of them!

> improve its usability and to bring it more up to date, and this will go
> live around 25 April.

> The design and navigation of the site will change, which will result in
> links to our site to be broken. So please consider whether any pages on
> your site links to HEFCE's and therefore whether you need to take any
> action.
>
> The home page (www.hefce.ac.uk) will not change, nor will the extranet.
> Our RSS feeds and Twitter feed will also be unaffected.
