Refactoring has been used in software engineering for code understandability and maintainability. It also forms the inevitable part of software development cycle.
How about maintainability and usability of websites ?
Can refactoring be applied to web?
In a paper titled "Model Refactoring in Web Applications", refactoring has been proposed for web design models.
The idea surely is exciting given the complexity of large business websites. It will be really useful to refactor navigation models (or design models) such that it becomes more user friendly, easy to maintain and understand. Web patterns which are analogous to design patterns used in software engineering are made use of in refactoring the websites.
Also, the idea of refactoring models (like navigation model) instead of entire (source) code was novel.

This idea sounds good. Certeinly,The quality of the service provided by a website should be good. However, the art of packing a product and the design of the website, sometimes, is more important.
Navigation is set of rules for choosing the next page to be displayed after a button or hyperlink is clicked.So navigation model is more important for designing a Refactoring model.
